This is what these people voted for/wanted. Not sure why they are complaining now.

Profit over people. The Republican mantra.

Someone please name and shame the dems who wasted time voting for this nonsense.

Womp womp.

I would think getting 66% would override line item veto. Just like it does any other veto. If you can’t get 66% of the vote for something, maybe it’s not worth stuffing into the bill in the first place.

Funding bills are fucjed anyway. It’s a shame we don’t have a party that’s interested in reforming the process so we don’t have these repeated shutdowns.

Stuff like this makes me think we could really use line item veto.

Why are any dems appearing on Fox “News”?

We’ve seen this episode before. Regan fired all the underpaid ATCs and used the military to fill in until they could be replaced.

The National debt bill will come due one way or another. Either through “austerity” clawbacks or devaluing your wages by printing money. It’s not like they’re going to tax the rich.

Sounds like adding more to the national debt to me.

If they bother to pick up the phone. Which is more than I can say for my two senators.

Well of course Fetterman wants to cave.

It’s a winning policy in Florida where Cuban immigrants vote Republican. It will be interesting to see if that changes.

Please stop linking to CBS News.

So does this mean she wants the VP slot under Vance? Or is this some sort of fundraising grift?

Why would she ask that? She works for Bari Weiss and David Ellison. 60 minutes actually cut Trump having tantrum from the interview.

I got to thinking today about how my TiVo HD from 2006 still works fine. Strange how a company going out of business can still support decades old hardware, but a gazillionaire conglomerate like Google just “doesn’t have the resources”.

Fuck cbs news too.

Gotta have a government-recognized binding contract so your spouse can make legal decisions for you. Call it whatever you want (marriage cert, domestic partner) but it has to be the same for all people under the law.

This is part of what the fight for marriage equality was all about. Spouses were unable to see their partners in the hospital, or get custody of children, or inherit, etc. etc. Some people tried to draw up legal agreements, but they ran into obstacles with other family members taking them to court. Remember, “Separate, but equal is inherently unequal.”

Up next:

• Judges no longer required to marry interracial couples.
• Judges no longer required to marry women pregnant out of wedlock.
• Judges no longer required to marry Muslims, Jews, or athiests.
• Judges no longer required to marry divorced persons.

Take your pick. This is what happens when government steps outside of contract law, and into endorsement of religious beliefs.
