Until January 30th, according to the Capitol reporter on MSNBC right now.

And Trump should remember that the immunity gifted to him by SCOTUS does not apply outside of the borders of the USA. Turkey already has an arrest warrant for Bibi Netanyahu. I could see most of Europe eventually ganging up on Trump.

Andreesen is owned by the vulture capitalists who provide him with the billions he needs to grow his company. The very nature of capitalism is to seek profit regardless of moral considerations. Moral constraints on technology are against profitability. Thus capitalism has always been anti-morals.

All of the above is my thought.

There is quite a market for dead corporations with large NOL carry forward. I think you figured it out.

BINGO!

Yet more proof that Trump can fund anything he wishes while the government is shut down. Anything not funded, like SNAP, is something Trump would not fund if he could block it. Anything he wants to fund, like ICE, gets all the money Trump wishes. ATCs just aren't on Trump's list, but they could be.

And I'm so many years away from this stuff that I did it myself (above). I said "P&L" when I should have said "Balance Sheet." Also, the $4 billion could have been represented by transactions that took place before the 2023 beginning of Ed's analysis. The laws of nature say that the numbers must add

The bottom line is that the P&L will not be in balance unless there is some asset which represents the "missing" $4 billion. The only other answer is that the numbers don't add up, which anyone fluent in basic math (addition and subtraction) can detect. No formally printed statement would have that.

Largely, you cannot/should not mix numbers from the three types of statements. Assets and liabilities must always be equal. That is a foundational principle. Profits or losses are added or subtracted to equity on the P&L. Cash flow isn't the same as either of the other two. It is just in and out.

After I got out of the Navy, and after Grace Hopper forced me to learn COBOL, I got a job at a regional datacenter for a Fortune 500 company as a COBOL maintenance programmer. I learned a lot about financial statements. There are 3 kinds. Assets & Liabilities, Profits & Losses, and cash flow.

And Longworth led the nation into the Great Depression.

Well, there is always the option to rename one of the existing buildings. Who cares about Cannon these days? He was Speaker from 1903-1911. Longworth was Speaker from 1925 to 1931. Both were Republicans.

Another deliberate choice by the Trump administration. Trump released job numbers during his second longest shutdown. Why not now? It's pure extortion to put pressure on the Democrats. But Trump can't be trusted, so the Democrats can't cave. Period.

Same for Georgia legislators. The legislators are in session for January through March, so if you have a "regular job" you need to take a leave of absence for 1/4 of each year. That takes a very special employment relationship.

Not dumb at all. This is exactly my thought. The missing $4 billion was spent on something, but isn't a loss because there is an asset somewhere. Land bought for future datacenters? Advanced deposits on contracts? Who knows?

Yes. David Scott is another octogenarian who has definitely lost a step. He stopped actually serving his constituents years ago and has been mostly serving himself. Jasmine was re-elected in her district in spite of Kemp's focus on her because she relentlessly focused on what her constituents need.

Look at the issues in common between Mamdani, Spanberger and Sherrill. Child care. Groceries, Electricity costs. All of them were talking about affordability. Their suggested programs were vastly different, but the underlying issues had a lot in common. Build on the commonalities!

Trump's mind is so far gone he needs the sign to remember where his office entrance is.
