They held House & Senate hearings about Secretary Austin's prostate & their were GOP demands for his resignation for not wanting to publicly announce he was having prostate surgery. Surely the fickle finger of fate that probed him should now be poking Secretary Violent Drunken Zipper Malfunction.

…sure did the trick

PASSED: the House just passed the resolution to end Trump's tariffs on Canada.
Not many crosses from Republicans, a lot of vulnerable incumbents took a dumb vote here to stick with Trump and GOP leadership. Goes to the Senate, which is likely to pass it.
Will share the vote sheet when I have it!

After defeating the rule last night which would have extended the provision that prevented House votes on Trump's tariffs for the past year, the House is now taking its first vote on a resolution to stop Trump's tariffs.
This first resolution targets the tariffs on Canada; others will follow later.

Congressional Republicans are going to deprive D.C. of $700 million in revenue and repeal a local program projected to reduce child poverty by 20 percent, solely to spite District residents and make us suffer. They’re also throwing our tax filing into utter chaos. This is a disaster.

Always depressing to me how the median attitude among most people is close to “metoo went too far” when the most powerful man in the world is a rapist, and countless rich successful sports star / celebrity rapists get good press every week.
I remember being surprised at how much MeToo took over the minds of certain folks, and I guess I just severely underestimated the number of older men who regarded nonstop predation of younger women as their birthright
Lawrence Krauss being endearing again: "good news btw is that woman on conciliation committee seems like a sweetie.. she is old…. not some young metoo bitch."
