Heads of households is lol. Don’t respect the institution of marriage - that’ll cost you $25k asshole.

I normally don’t get outraged at Dems being Dems, and failing to be effective, because I dunno, maybe I’m just defeated by all the bullshit, but holy fucking shit STILL not having the committee gavels is straight up insanity.

New York Times, June 16, 2022 - After a long public battle which upended tradition, indications from Washington D.C. today suggested that Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) were on the precipice of finalizing a power-sharing agreement that would allow Democrats to assume control of committee agendas, elevating their influence in the Senate to a place that they have been anticipating since the November 2020 election.

The 2000 elections resulted in a Senate composed of 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats. A historic agreement, worked out by the party floor leaders, in consultation with their Specialist on Congress and party colleagues, was presented to the Senate (S.Res. 8) on January 5, 2001, and agreed the Legislative Process to the same day. The agreement was expanded by a leadership colloquy on January 8, 2001.

Love this Psaki clip. The “plane” reference was to a prior question about the air force one color scheme that Trump wanted to change.

How is Graham allowed to block Garland? It doesn’t even make sense.

No one is traveling on foot for like 2 months with someone else’s kid. These people are the same ones who lost their shit at their child day 1 into their 3 day Disney World vacation.

Let’s play the “if Mitch had the 50/50 + VP” game.

Also fuck Democrats who are nice to Lindsey Graham because he’s nice to them behind closed doors. Those days are over assholes.

This would basically be Manchin’s replacement.

$1400 checks. The $600 checks already went out.

For the record, the bill has to go through Budget Chair Bernie (god that is so fucking awesome to type), and he is calling for clean $2k checks.
