Doesn't look like a "dead issue" to me.
It looks to me like an American president sending America's most infamous child sex trafficker a fawning birthday card on which he drew a naked underage girl with her arms pinioned behind her back and then wrote on her belly, "We have something in common."

I just quit #WeightWatchers after (gulp) 20+ years. Feeling some FOMO & regret about leaving 42k followers, for whom I've hosted an online book club for years... but I just can't give another dollar to the weight loss industrial complex while more important issues require my time & attention.

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

The maddest someone has ever gotten at me was when I talked about the child sized manacles Jefferson had at Monticello for 9 year old children. They could not cope with the idea that a child the same age as their child had been enslaved. And it made them angry that I made them know facts
Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

U.S. inflation rose slightly last month as grocery prices ticked higher
The figures suggest inflation remains stubbornly above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, which makes it less likely that the central bank will cut its key short-term interest rate.

CNBC: It sounds to me like the president persuaded you by saying he's gonna override some of the provisions in the bill. Is that right?
RALPH NORMAN: He's going to on the permitting drive a hard bargain. He's gonna have accountability. You'll see some executive orders.

Apt analogy.
I'm sure some of y'all are wondering what the hell is going on in D.C. tonight.
Summary: GOP Senators are being openly greedy and corrupt with all their personal asks in the Big Beautiful Bill, but they're struggling to fit all those asks, like a snake choking on a bucket of dead mice.
