I know there's still a lot going on, but just watched the new Knives Out movie with the fam, and it's excellent. We're debating whether it's just as good or better than the first one.

Does anyone know if this bailout is authorized by existing law or will it require something new to be passed? Maybe @bbkogan.bsky.social can write up a post?
If a new law is required, what should Dems ask for in return for supporting this?

I’m holding out hope that every democratic candidate for president will commit to demolishing it in January 2029.
"The latest plan, which officials said was still preliminary, calls for a ballroom much larger than the West Wing and the Executive Mansion. Mr. Trump has said publicly that he would like a ballroom big enough to hold a crowd for a presidential inauguration."

Hope this doesn’t get lost in the debate about the double tap strike. The first tap was very likely murder as well.
This.
The second strike is important bc AFTER that one, they started leaving survivors (plus, why the fuck can't Whiskey Pete's DOD manage to destroy a boat in uncontested waters the first strike?).
But all these are murder. Murder murder murder murder.

The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.

Does he not realize that if he gives us the money, we just give it to the insurance companies for health insurance.

Almost 5 years as president now and he has no idea how government appropriations work.
It's very clear he thinks all spending decisions are made by, and go through, him, like back in the Trump Organization days.

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

But Republicans insist this a "end of the year" problem to fix.
Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho.
One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire.
25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage.
This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.
