This is the 3rd time they cut rates & after each cut more layoffs are announced. Not more hiring. Data from this year does not support that cutting rates = bolstering the job market.
The U.S. stock market is rising closer to its all-time high on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve cut its main interest rate to bolster the job market, just like nearly everyone on Wall Street expected. https://to.pbs.org/3XQfwBZ
As expected, Wall Street rises closer to its all-time high after the Fed cuts rates
Wall Street loves lower interest rates because they can boost the economy and goose prices for investments, even if they also can worsen inflation.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

I recognize this is, to some extent, cope/bargaining, but
this is the the first of several votes necessary to end the shutdown, right? so even the present unfathomable fecklessness doesn't mean it's over over, and there are multiple potential blockage points ahead to reject a no-concessions 'deal'?

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
