Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

[Drew S.]

This seems like kind of a minor thing but I think is a major warning for where we are headed https://www.boston.com/news/local-n...ired-over-trump-flag-dispute/?p1=hp_secondary

Jeffries: "Let me be clear -- House Democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless Republican budget. Not one. Not one."

Jeffries grew a spine!

Let me know when he does something substantial like refusing a CR unless they rein in Muskrat.

Baby steps...I mean 2 weeks ago he was still talking about how God is all that matters and trying to convince MAGA they can work together

Unlike these people who know the score:

Bill Grueskin (@bgrueskin.bsky.social)

Musk's tech-bros have "refused to identify themselves, asked questions about political loyalty, attempted to pit colleagues against each other, and demonstrated limited technical ability. This process created significant security risks.” -- Civil servants who quit today...

This should be in the Leopards thread but:

Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt.bsky.social)

The message is clear. Given that the White House has already kicked one news organization out of the pool because of coverage it does not like, it is making certain everyone else knows that the rest of us can be barred too if the president does not like our questions or stories. [contains quote...

I guess you got what you wanted MSM even less access than you had when you covered him normally.

It's the media's fault he got elected. So, I do not give a shit about their access.

There is a crisis in American aviation today. Door plugs are blowing out mid-flight. Cabins are filling with haze. Planes nearly collide on runways. Flying is scary right now—and we need to act. It’s time to restore trust in American skies and the once-great airlines that allowed us to roam...

Gee, I think it was Walrus who basically thought I was a pussy cause I am not too interested in flying right now.

REPORTER: Can you say unequivocally that down the line, there won't be cuts to Medicaid programs?MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid is hugely problematic because it has a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse.

They're gutting health care for the most vulnerable among us. And America voted for it.

"Just DIE" is now the policy of the United States.

That runway incursion at Midway.... woof. That private plane pilot is going to have a chaffed ass from the whipping he got from the tower.

The ATC audio is *chefs kiss*

Dumbass was told what to do, botched the read back, corrected by ATC, then told three more times to not cross.

Ground radio at 20:14 - "...possible pilot deviation, advise you contact Midway tower at a number when you're ready to copy."

That's not a good message to be told.

Bug? Or Feature?

Budget Resolution passed...step 1 out of the way. Now the real game begins.

Brian Tyler Cohen (@briantylercohen.bsky.social)

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

bsky.app

Despite what Chris Hayes thinks...just because it barely passed means dick. This is the easy time to hold out. When the final vote comes around no one will have the balls to hold out.

 

[Handyman]

Ot should be noted Johnson was so worried about the vote they lied about doing it another day, then after the Dems left recalled the vote trying to catch them without all their members.

800 billion in cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. 100 million Americans use thiose programs.

4.3 trillion added to the debt in tax breaks for incomes over $350,000. 800 thousand Americans are in families earning that much.

The greatest wealth redistribution in history.

And... scene.

Check out the percentages of people in Nursing Homes who get Medicaid assistance...The Olds better hope they didn't tick their kids off too much with their Trumperism because right now that is their only hope. Problem with that is...if they make "Middle Class" wages like I do they get a tax hike. (I think I am around $1500) so good luck!

Herbert Hoover is laughing in hell right now...
