BREAKING: Just-announced deal in Congress for a year-end budget bill DOES NOT include the extension of three Trump-GOP tax cuts for corporations ๐Ÿพ

This is a huge winโ€”a year-end corporate tax giveaway is, sadly, usually a foregone conclusion.

This is what change looks like.

Hope Hicks was the unwitting star of the Jan. 6 hearings yesterday. Just how damaging was her testimony and evidence to Trump? My piece today explores the question of Hope when to comes to indicting and convicting Trump.

Lunch plans? 

They re-branded pretty quickly... can't imagine why.

Been five days since Twitter suspended a bunch of journalists, including me, for tweeting out factual reporting. And we're still suspended.

CNN's @donieosullivan, NYT's Ryan Mac and I can't access Twitter until we delete specific tweets that they said included "private information" but were actually just reporting.

Journalists Linette Lopez and Susan Li, who also covered Musk, are still suspended. No explanation given.

Umm... This is kind of a big deal.

If this ruling stands, it'd mean that basically every health insurance plans in America (because of the health insurance marketplace) would be required to cover everything WPATH SoC8 deems medically necessary.

Which is... *everything*.

Holy crap.

No thanks. I'd rather build a world destroying singularity in this particle accelerator I'm assembling in the tunnels under downtown Minneapolis.

20 December 1943 | The 63rd transport from occupied France arrived at Auschwitz with 850 Jews.

After the selection made by SS doctors 223 men & 112 women were registered in the camp. The remaining 505 people were immediately murdered in a gas chamber.

Among them was a 4-year old boy Gerard Levy.

Twitter mood.
"You stupid fking @&$%#& redneck interbred loser go fk yourself."

Mastodon mood.
"Wow man, the colors. I can see the colors dancing out of the speakers."

I hope this mood lasts.

Wife: Do you see a black tank top in there?

Me: No. but thereโ€™s pink.

Wife: No, black.

Me: I have grey, pink, purple, green, teal, brown, something Iโ€™ll just call baby vomit.

Wife: It has to be the black one.

Me: Weโ€™re just going to the dump to get rid of some cardboard.

Wife: The. Black. One.

Until fairly recently, we didn't consider it a huge accomplishment to keep the government funded for another year. That was the bare minimum Congress should be doing.

Then Republicans decided to use brinksmanship for everything, every year, no matter the circumstances.

House (and some Senate) Republicans would like nothing more than to obstruct this omnibus bill until January so that they can better obstruct it then. Which, of course, would shut down the government and the economy and stop further aiding Ukraine. Someone benefits from all that, and it isnโ€™t any of us.

But this is what happens every time you give control of at least one house of Congress to Republicans.

Congress releases major spending bill with election reforms to prevent another Jan. 6-
