Senators advance tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it still needs to clear the House, which will likely take days.

After failing in court ISPs have partnered with the Trump admin. to kill net neutrality. Finally Americans will be able to achieve our dream of not receiving the broadband speeds we pay for, with the added bonus of squashing any remaining egalitarianism on the web. Huzzah!!!

So Trump violates federal law and gets charged by feds, claims they violated federal law by charging him with breaking the law, and now wants to violate federal law to charge the feds who charged him with breaking federal law? Cool.

Scholars in Zurich have created an AI platform to generate images of Ancient Rome, thus proving the technology’s awesome power to create a shittier, less accurate version of what HBO did in 2005.

POTUS: “…he’s not a socialist, he’s a communist, there’s a difference.” One billion MELANIA$ meme coins if he can explain what that difference is.

It is truly surprising that POTUS not only knows Columbus Day is an Italian thing, and that his XO didn’t rebrand it Rudy Giuliani Day.

Liz Cheney’s felony indictment for putting the wrong mailing address on her mortgage is overdue. But there’s only so many reality TV spokesmodels with law degrees, so maybe it’s just a bottleneck thing.

The same guys who accidentally canned people who maintain our nuclear missiles are making a list of “non-essential” workers to fire. No foreseeable problems there.

I’ve never seen so much obvious prep go into *not* answering questions at a senate hearing. Must’ve been exhausting. Prediction: next time AG Bondi just holds up a sign saying ‘Suck it, Marxist Pedos!’ And makes loud fart noises whenever a Dem speaks.

The Bahamas is currently scrolling through old Tweets to see if they said anything deserving a US ambassador Herschel Walker.

Lots of people think POTUS shouldn’t put his own face on currency. But it’s a great hedge for my TRUMP$ meme coin, Beanie Babies, DJT portfolio.
