This could also render it a "political matter" that is unreviewable
(g) This section is enacted by Congress— (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in that House in the case of a joint resolution described in subsection (a), and it supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is inconsistent with such rules; and (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.

As this article suggests, it is quite likely this has to do with Paramount corporate attempting to influence what 60 Minutes can and cannot report on
In recent weeks, Paramount Global’s board had put increasing pressure on Cheeks and McMahon to know specific details about “60 Minutes” programming ahead of its air date in a divergence from how the show operated in the past, according to people familiar with the matter. Veteran “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens resigned last month, citing Paramount Global’s increased scrutiny on his journalistic independence.

Apparently this is a zombie claim that probably popped up on his Truth Social feed at some point overnight
Politifact Twitter on October 29, 2024: "Claims that Beyonce was paid $10 million to endorse Vice President Harris have been spreading on social platforms, but they are unsubstantiated." Rated as "False"

they are 100% just going to feed a database into Grok and ask it what causes autism aren't they
The National Institutes of Health will use information from federal health insurance programs Medicare and Medicaid to create a "real-world data platform" to determine the cause of autism, the agency announced this week.

Oh yes who couldn't have good intentions about forcibly removing people and moving them across half a continent. Just a miscalculation!
Historian and biographer Robert V. Remini wrote that Jackson's policy on Native Americans was based on good intentions. He writes: "Jackson fully expected the Indians to thrive in their new surroundings, educate their children, acquire the skills of white civilization so as to improve their living conditions, and become citizens of the United States.

You know it is a bad event when the debate is "is it ethnic clensing or genocide?"
There is debate among historians about how the Trail of Tears should be classified. Some historians classify the events as a form of ethnic cleansing; others refer to it as genocide.

if one is wondering
A great commander and ruthless politician, Sulla used violence to advance his career and his conservative agenda. Although he attempted to create a stable constitutional order, the Republic never recovered from his coup, civil war, and purges.

Okay they almost made a point before cutting their legs off at their own knees immediately after
But Starbucks Workers United, the union that represents workers at 570 of Starbucks’ 10,000 company-owned U.S. stores, said the dress code should be subject to collective bargaining. “Starbucks has lost its way. Instead of listening to baristas who make the Starbucks experience what it is, they are focused on all the wrong things, like implementing a restrictive new dress code

like boo fucking hoo?
Starbucks put new limits starting Monday on what its baristas can wear under their green aprons. The dress code requires employees at company-operated and licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada to wear a solid black shirt and khaki, black or blue denim bottoms. Under the previous dress code, baristas could wear a broader range of dark colors and patterned shirts.

I mean this is only a brief search, but here is a Minnesota research review that briefly summarizes some points. I presume the PDF goes into more detail

www.house.mn.gov/hrd/pubs/det...
crimes involving conscious planning can be more easily deterred than those that relate to addiction or sudden emotions;  increases to prison sentences that are already lengthy have little deterrent effect; and  policies that increase the likelihood of being caught deter crime more effectively than those that increase punishment.

Ironically, this exchange was with Harris, who said the following (and I wonder if she would say she regrets being so flippant about it)
HARRIS: Well, I mean, I would just say, hey, Joe, instead of saying, no, we can't, let's say yes, we can.

I guess Biden maybe originally brought it up outside of a debate, but the moderator brought it up during a debate
In recent days former Vice President Biden has said about executive orders, "Some really talented people are seeking the nomination. They said 'I'm going to issue an executive order.'" Biden saying, "There's no constitutional authority to issue that executive order when they say 'I'm going to eliminate assault weapons,'" saying, "you can't do it by executive order any more than Trump can do things when he says he can do it by executive order."

This was the post in question btw
Hunter Walker writes "I think one mistake people are making here is thinking of this in very black and white terms. There's a lot between a guy beginning to show serious signs of age and "Weekend At Bernie's."" In response to The Wet Tank Tops writing "I appreciate the thrust of this but… why haven’t we seen this? Everyone has been running with the narrative that there was some weekend at Bernie’s campaign, but really nothing has come out even though post any reporter would be 100% free to empty the notebook (especially post November)"
