American cities are great places and they should be affordable, accessible, & with plenty of housing so that more folks can raise their young children in them.

So a company that Don Jr owns is soliciting military members who aren’t getting paid during the shutdown with “payday loans”.

We will probably never know widespread the corruption is.

News says there’s still no health plan — just taking it away from folks. That’s the concept.

I think his health plan was to reduce health.

This is not true. The House has to approve the choice of an alternative to swear Grijalva in.

Please don’t spread misinformation.

And surely we don’t think that if this is the case that a Dem wouldn’t be using it? I mean I know that some are real dumbasses but there’s more than one smart one.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

The fact Wong thinks she can just snark her way out of this is a sign of how normalised the relationships between politicians and lobbyists have become.

Like, of course the PM shouldn't be president of a registered lobby group that sells corporate members access to politicians? No shit??

Crikey @crikey.com.au · 1d

Independent Senator David Pocock and Labor's Penny Wong clashed in Senate estimates yesterday over whether the Parliamentary Sports Club could be considered a lobby group, as reported in Crikey last week. The club is registered as such, and lists Responsible Wagering Australia as one of its clients.
