President of Syria Ahmed al-Sharaa:
Russia has participated,in one way or another,in the war against the people of Syria.So,part of the negotiations that took place with Syria is that those who are wanted should be surrendered to Syria, including Bashar al-Assad. Russians have a different opinion.

Get your boosters or get your titers pulled to see if you need them. I'm in rural Arkansas & I'm hard to keep alive but highly vaccinated. Update your TDAP with the flu shot & Covid booster. Tetanus is every 10 yrs & Pertussis is the whopping cough they expected to be bad this year.
It's going to be smallpox
I'm honestly starting to think Americans are going to end the decade with either universal health care or malaria.

Do it. I'm past decency. I'll fight them like they're Nazis too. And lick their blood from the knife I take to their necks. Eugenics is a HELL Fucking NO! I'm a "I'll gut your mother infront of you in my Sunday dress before I normalize it" type. Let's all help me keep my venom on my tongue at home.

It's already done. Call for Jeffries head now & threaten every member of the party that we'll turn into full Jacobins if they put a toe over the line. This is war not politics. Make them wonder how many can get their families & planes out. Bodies are going to drop. If we burn, they come with. Fair.
8) This also puts the House in the jackpot.
Will House Republicans vote to accept the Senate deal? If they defect, how many Dems will vote to make up the difference. (Answer: as many Dems as it takes, Jeffries will see to this. While publicly "no," he'll make the plan work.)

3. Republicans were playing good cop, bad cop, crazy cop.
Good cop: Senate Republicans
Bad cop: House Republicans (Johnson)
Crazy cop: Russ Vought + Trump
Vought's plan was always to use impoundment/rescissions/starving people + firing feds to force Dems to surrender on the power of the purse.

Dan knows more about how Congress works than anyone I know, so this is an interesting thread.
Some thoughts on the CR/minibus.
1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins.
Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.

Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker
Perhaps ending the shutdown was the responsible thing to do. But by caving, Democrats risk legitimizing Trump’s maximum-pain shutdown tactics.

At this point if Schumer were mugged in Times Square, the patriotic thing to do, would be to thank the mugger.
I could watch the VICHY 8 be pelted off the Manhattan Bridge in real time and discuss the weather.

BURN. THEM. ALIVE.
At this point, that feels reasonable.

well damn, Schumer's level of fuckup is such that, not only was my phone-call-loathing Husband again motivated to call his office, he just left a voicemail like
"Hello, I'm a constituent calling to say Chuck Schumer is a snake and a liar and must be replaced by someone with a spine. Thanks"
