Well, when you put it that way it sounds like the country is kinda fucked
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

There's no way ol' Donny Trump wiggles out of this one...🙄
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

For all our discussion of what looks like the end of the shutdown, this is the one thing about it I know in my heart. It's 12 months to the midterms and, politically, that's eternity.
Something that the voters will not remember next year

The one thing it does mean is the House has to go into session and maybe that last vote for the discharge petition finally gets seated
This is the other thing. Does it pass the house with that in it? Dunno! Does Trump sign it? If the house passes it, probably?
DOA in the House, I would assume

Your rather dry language undersells it. FSA money is taken directly out of your paycheck, and if you don't spend it all by the end of the year, *it goes back to your employer*

It's like they even know how FSAs work.

This fucking part right here
the key question to me (pretending they're serious) is is the money going to:
- just Exchange enrollees? then it's the ACA with more steps & prob. distributed worse
- everyone? then it's taking away from the group in question & giving to people who don't need it for their insurance

Absolutely the fuck not.
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.

Top Gun without Tom Cruise would be great actually
hoping this upcoming star wars: starfighter movie is just top gun but star wars
ironically what makes star wars stuff best is when it is 'something else, but also star wars'
e.g. Andor, a British political thriller but also Star Wars
the Mandalorian, an episode-of-the-week Western but also Star Wars (when it was good)

If I ever become synonymous with a dance that looks like I'm jacking two guys off just end me.

Meanwhile, Trump won’t renew subsides for American healthcare.

The Trump administration is doing everything in its power to deny food assistance to Americans.

We print the money FFS. Liquid. What a stupid, fucking asshole
Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."

It's because they don't view nonwhite children as children, or people, and they think the rest of the country feels the same.
Conservatives have spent years weaponizing “protect and think of the children” to great effect.
It is odd to me that there seems to be no plan of action from the regime for the consequences *actually violently threatening the safety of children in public view*.

A conspiracy I allow myself is that she's the J6 pipe bomber so I think this is just her trying to look sane and garner sympathy for when the next administration comes in
MTG: "I'm trying to lead by example to talk to everyone in kindness. We don't all have to agree but that's being an American. And thank goodness for that. Our freedom of speech, our 1A rights, allows us to do that. My personal belief is that I need to set an example by speaking nicely to everyone."

I mean, is it really AI or is it Trump running the country into the ditch and the GOP unwilling to even acknowledge what he's doing, much less stop it.

Trump says we are preparing to invade Nigeria. Apparently that’s what voters said they wanted in the exit polls. Trump: “We’re going to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria’s not gonna be happy about. Guns-a-blazin!”
