Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

What if? Spending bills that required deficit spending required MORE VOTES in congress?
Spend less than federal revenue 50%+1 like it is now, SPEND MORE than Federal Revenue, you need extra VOTES.
Maybe 2:1, so 60%+1 for a 5% over budget spend.

I’m generally not a big fan of the “all-the-rainbows-as-ramps” approach to design. But if you’re going to do it, this OKLCH wheel is super satisfying.

I was watching The Crow (the original one) while working on a painting... and I couldn't shake the idea that it would probably be less cheesy if it were an anime. So I doodled it. Hehe. I can't be the only one who thinks this, right??
