10:43 • 56+87 •CBS NEWS Trump says "Department of War" will deter wars The president praised his decision to adopt the name "Department of War" and said he believes the re-naming will deter conflict. "The Department of War is going to stop wars," he said. The name of the department can only be officially changed by an act of Congress. He said his administration will be making more announcements in the future to "fully embrace the identity of the Department of War." "The United States Armed Forces will be totally unmatched in the future," the president said. He ended his roughly hourlong remarks

This happened to me, and reactions to it have really shown the difference between Conservatives, white liberals, and everyone else. A very short thread: 🧵
A cardboard box containing Dr. Elsey’s cat litter. In marker on the box, someone wrote “Asking for this on the 3rd floor is CRAZY!! Be FOR REAL!!” Snapchat caption says “I've never been package shamed by Amazon! I am paying money for someone to bring this to me because I can't bring it up the stairs. Writing this on the box is crazy.” Followed by 3 laughing crying emojis and one smiling with a tear emoji.

• Budget Points of Order - Many legislative proposals (bills, amendments, and conference reports) are subject to a point of order under the Budget Act or budget resolution, most of which can only be waived by 60 votes. If budget points of order lie against a measure, any Senator may raise them, and a measure cannot be passed or disposed of unless the points of order that are raised are waived. (See http://budget.senate.gov/republican/pressarchive/PointsofOrder.pdf) • Amendment Process Amendment Tree Process and/or Filibuster by Amendment - until cloture is invoked, Senators may offer an unlimited number of amendments - germane or non-germane -- on any subject. This is the fullest expression of a "full, complete, and informed" debate on a measure. It has been necessary under past Democrat majorities to use the rules governing the amendment process aggressively to ensure that minority Senators get votes on their amendment as originally written (unchanged by the Majority Democrats.) Substitute Amendments - UC is routinely requested to treat substitute amendments as original text for purposes of further amendment, which makes it easier for the majority to offer 2nd degree amendments to gut 1st degree amendments by the minority. The minority could protect their amendments by objecting to such UC's. Divisible Amendments - amendments are divisible upon demand by any Senator if they contain two or more parts that can stand independently of one another. This can be used to fight efforts to block the minority from offering all of their amendments, because a single amendment could be drafted, offered at a point when such an amendment is in order, and then divided into multiple component parts for separate consideration and votes. Demanding division of amendments can also be used to extend consideration of a measure. Amendments to strike and insert text cannot be divided. • Motions to Recommit Bills to Committee With or Without Instructions - A Senator may make a motion to reco…

FOUNDATION FOR THE MINORITY PARTY'S RIGHTS IN THE SENATE (Fall 2009) The Senate rules are designed to give a minority of Senators the right to insist on a full, complete, and fully informed debate on all measures and issues coming before the Senate. This cornerstone of protection can only be abrogated if 60 or more Senators vote to take these rights away from the minority. I. RIGHTS AVAILABLE TO MINORITY BEFORE MEASURES ARE CONSIDERED ON FLOOR (These rights are normally waived by Unanimous Consent (UC) when time is short, but any Senator can object to the waiver.) • New Legislative Day - An adjournment of the Senate, as opposed to a recess, is required to trigger a new legislative day. A new legislative day starts with the morning hour, a 2-hour period with a number of required procedures. During part of the "morning hour" any Senator may make non-debatable motions to proceed to items on the Senate calendar. • One Day and Two Day Rules- The 1-day rule requires that measures must lie over one "legislative day" before they can be considered. All bills have to lie over one day, whether they were introduced by an individual Senator (Rule XIV) or reported by a committee (Rule XVII). The 2-day rule requires that IF a committee chooses to file a written report, that committee report MUST contain a CBO cost estimate, a regulatory impact statement, and detail what changes the measure makes to current law or provide a statement why any of these cannot be done, and that report must be available at least 2 calendar days before a bill can be considered on the Senate floor. Senators may block a measure's consideration by raising a point of order if it does not meet one of these requirements. • "Hard" Quorum Calls -Senate operates on a presumptive quorum of 51 senators and quorum calls are routinely dispensed with by unanimous consent. If UC is not granted to dispose of a routine quorum call, then the roll must continue to be called. If a quorum is not present, the only motions th…

N0310 60 PLEASANT STREET BERLIN NH 03570 (603) 752-2604 December 1, 2009 Dear Republican Colleague: As we embark on Senate debate of Majority Leader Reid's massive $2.5 trillion health care reform legislation, it is critical that Republican senators have a solid understanding of the minority's rights in the Senate. I think that we can all agree that the Democrats' bill is the wrong choice for our nation. It will impact one-sixth of our economy, vastly grow the government, and pile tremendous debt on future generations. We are at an important crossroads both for the economy and for the health care system. Therefore, it is imperative that our voices are heard during this We, the minority party, must use the tools we have under Senate rules to insist on a full, complete and fully informed debate on the health care legislation - as well as all legislation - coming before the Senate. As laid out in the attached document, we have certain rights before measures are considered on the floor as well as certain rights during the actual consideration of measures. Every Republican senator should be familiar with the scope of these rights, which serve to protect our ability to speak on behalf of the millions of Americans who depend on us to be their voice during this historic debate. I hope you find the attached information helpful. If you have any questions, please contact my communications office at 202-224-6011. Sincerely, Judd Gregg

Also, seeing MTG and other GOP women standing up to Trump re: #EpsteinFiles, especially when Trump said doing so would be considered a “hostile act,” feels like the time Terry Lobotomy said she was pro-choice while GOP men freaked out. Still trash, but let’s let them speak for a minute.

darrelpullie>EpsteinFiles "Why didn't Biden release the Epstein files?" The Epstein records were sealed by a judge until after Ghislaine Maxwell's trial. They weren't unsealed until January 2024. So no, Biden aouldn't release what wasn't legally available. Biden didn't run a cult. He let the DOJ operate independently-unlike Trump, who demands loyalty oaths and treats every agency like his personal operatives. And no Democrat ran on a platform promising to release the Epstein files. Trump did. Then blocked them.”

1) The amount of people I know personally in WV who can’t vote because they have a felony for non-violent drug offenses is high af. The opioid crisis hit us hard. 2) Of course the overwhelming majority was for Trump, but over 200,000 people said FU to him. We can’t abandon them.

I had to look up what the poet had to say about it.
About this Poem "A bridge is an all-time great occasion for a poem, with its many vectors for thinking: massive human structure in a natural environment; scale in several dimensions; passage and precipice; hope land] the sublime. It's a hyper-poetic object. The real bridge of this poem is in Upstate New York. I drove across it one way and then tried, and failed, to cross back on foot. I'm interested here in the difference between the fear as felt in the moment and the fear remembered, as well as the two bridges—the bridge via car and the bridge from my own naked personhood." —Elisa Gabbert
