EU institutions deal last night on the "simplification" of the CAP dropped the looniest EP amendments, like exempting farmers in protected areas from env requirements that would still apply in un-"protected" land.
CAP remains money (to the rich) for nothing. But without the surrealist twist.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.
Why the delay?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
