So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

This is objectively nonsense but people believe it because nostalgia is one of the most powerful political forces on earth - especially if it's imagined nostalgia on the part of people who never experienced the times they claim to miss. /1
Things are objectively worse now than the 80s or 90s.

Honestly, if people today had to contend with these kinds of economic conditions, they'd melt down
My first mortgage was in '89 and it was 10% - and that was a VA mortgage that was 1 point below prime. Commercial mortgages were high 12s, low 13s.

was rewatching the Scream films recently and was like "there's no way 6 stab wounds produce that much blood" and it turns out I was right and Wes Craven just made all the murders look like ritual devil sacrifice because it was scarier.

NEW: Looks like Thune got around the unanimous consent problem, and the senate could vote TONIGHT on the FINAL shutdown deal, meaning the House would open Wednesday to take it up. Tell me if I'm reading this wrong...

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.
Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.
