There will be no vote. Or at best, a cursory vote, with no debate, voted down, move on.
Proven history - they lie, all the time, about anything, and everything. They break their promises. They renege on their deals. They beach all trust.

Had my #Flu and #COVID #vaccines today. I'm not super fussed really, I've had COVID a couple times and flu several times. They suck, but not awful for me. But I've got a busy fall and winter with lots of travel, so doing what I can to prevent spread in the world, and maybe stay safe myself.

Right?! I do hate that specific attitude. We give billions to wealthy robber barons and corrupt contractors with zero oversight. DOD has not passed an audit in decades.
But heaven forbid a mum with a hungry kid buy the 'wrong' food (as defined by angry old rich white men) with their SNAP!!
Grr!! 🤬

The congressional research office confirmed a breach, but did not comment on the cause. A security researcher suggested the hack may have originated because CBO failed to patch a firewall for more than a year.

Agree for sure. Just one example, in my team meetings I have everyone log in to Zoom/Teams individually, even if they're all in a room together, if anyone is attending remotely. Need to manage microphones and feedback and a bit more besides, but it helps to keep everyone on a more level field.

IMO 💯 closing @teenvogue.com & firing all women of color there is a direct oligarch response to political pressure from the fascist Nazi regime because of their excellent political reporting.
Which ... dammit.
I was torn on Conde Nasty before. No longer. They've 💯 bent the knee & are dead to me.
