Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

And Trump will approve it because he knows Congressional Dems won't do shit. @schumer.senate.gov will let us all know how disappointed he is, but that'll be the extent of it. @kaine.senate.gov and others have already shown they'll bend the knee to Trump rather than stand up to him.

THIS is why voters need to be involved with elections at all levels. If leftists stay home or otherwise avoid primaries, we get stuck with people like this. Simply voting for President isn't enough. Local politics absolutely matter and if you abstain from local races, you hand control to losers.
EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:
Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen
If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

Alien vs. Predator (the arcade game) is based on a movie script that was meant to follow up on the extremely badass Aliens vs. Predator comic series produced by @darkhorse.com. Any director who moves in that direction is doing the right thing. Also @capcomusa.com needs to re-release the game ASAP.

Rondo of Blood was the first import game I purchased. Bought it used from a random seller on USENET.
Was very impressed when I fired it up for the first time with that soundtrack. The SNES could never.
