In another attack on public lands, Congress is voting to use the Congressional Review Act to invalidate 2 land management plans in Alaska. If passed, some of America’s greatest remaining wild landscapes--the Arctic Refuge and the Western Arctic--and would be opened to oil and gas leasing.

Happy Sunday!
A crow cawed with probable cause,
Far below someone’s breaking his laws,
Like sniffing a tree
Or barking with glee;
Crow thinks he is due some applause.

Just a reminder.
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?
MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

At 104, Betty Reid Soskin has had the most extraordinary life, from protest singing to civil rights activism to meeting the Obamas. She reflects on what it takes to stay strong and keep going

Reductions in Force not required by shutdowns, have never happened in any previous shutdown, and a judge has ruled they are illegal.
The shutdown is an excuse, not a reason, for them to do what they wanted to do: destroy government.

I don't know maybe it's just me but it seems like kind of a stretch to reopen the government on the basis of a pinky swear from people who LIE ALL THE FUCKING TIME ABOUT EVERYTHING

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here.
They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad.
Most importantly, they were human beings.
And they were murdered.

GÜIRIA, Venezuela (AP) — One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver.

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced

The snowflakes are not hard to catch,
They keep falling down, batch after batch;
They taste kind of like rain,
But I must try again
To be sure that the taste is a match.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

After gleefully and illegally plowing over every statute and regulation they don't like—such as by destroying USAID, refusing to enforce CFPB regs, and withholding SNAP funding—the Trump admin has decided 88 FR 8255 is ironclad law that must be ruthlessly enforced to ensure more people go hungry.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
