It can be done thrice per year, once involving revenue, once involving spending, and once involving the debt ceiling.
I’m not entirely sure if every provision in Biden’s stimulus proposal is eligible to be included in a reconciliation bill, but I think the reconciliation process makes it hard to do things that increase the deficit.
I’m no watevs fan but this is a really bad take. Super insulting to the service class which makes up a growing segment of the labor market.
If you believe that someone is bitter and lacks social skills and that leads you to then assume because of those traits that they are a min wage worker, and then you throw that assumption in their face like it’s an insult. That’s classist.
I’ve never met anyone who worked in or went to prison that would agree with this take. I could see this possibly being true in some select GOP-run hellhole states, but the average state prison is just miles better than the average corporate-run purgatory. Private prisons are a legit abomination and a stain on our humanity as a nation.
We can simultaneously be happy that a small good thing happened and still recognize that more needs to be done. You don’t have to worry that the former will prevent us from the latter.
Watevs = Hellmuth. Sweet.
Putin simply brought his two friends together.
He literally may not personally want any of this shit we are talking about itt.
For all we know he is yoloing it up.
I haven’t seen this talked about in the media but maybe I missed it.
I just choose to believe the indicted Texas AG is not being straight forward.

From what I’ve seen the federal court has temporarily suspended the order until a decision is made on the complaint. So the TX AG is overstating things.
Its nice that Al Franken resigned a Senate seat over a picture in poor taste and Texas just lets this guy remain AG after not only being under indictment for like 3 years but having also been subsequently ratted out by his entire office (that he hand picked) for additional crimes.
Youre the insurrection!
Is this going to be a thing now? Everything is an insurrection until we all forget the 6 dead and the armed mob?
This is exhibit #1 as to why it is so hard to make positive change for the working poor. Here’s Dr.Chesspain, regular on a left wing board, making it plain as to how he really feels about the working poor. They’re angry and somewhat vile people. I mean he’s not a monster, he’s probably a Dem, but in his heart of hearts he believes these things. As do many of higher means. Pretty gross but very common. Makes empathy and substantive change very hard when this is how people think.
And this is why Dems will always lose at everything.
Well, yeah. Projection is a foundational part of contemporary American Conservatism.
The cities are gerrymandered as crap. I have lived 30 miles apart and still been in the same district in the middle of the D/FW metroplex.
Texas has some of the worst gerrymandering anywhere.
SCOTUS just earlier this year ruled “Yeah Texas it might look like you see screwing people over but it’s just an illusion” on a 7 year legal battle in the state. This was pre ACB.
Some pictures (second to last one is mine)
Going to file this away for the diminished capacity discussions.
the left were guilty of treating temporary stays by judges as victories as well, especially early in the trmp term. but in fact, a fucking state AG should know better. can’t wait to see this guy eventually in prison, and dreading the fact he’ll probably be pardoned by prez hawlew
I like how everyone believes that I assume most people who are low wage earners are bitter and lack social skills, even though I said nothing of the kind.
Many people work low wage jobs because there aren’t enough better paying jobs available.
On the other hand, some people work low wage jobs because they’re too dysfunctional to maintain higher wage jobs.
In addition, I’m NOT the one who used the insult. I only thought it wasn’t an obviously classist remark.
But keep calling me “gross” if it makes you feel better.
Kind of like when fake news actually referred to actual fake news
I said it as someone who worked a minimum wage service job for nearly 15 years. I am not classist at all. His childish rant directed at “people making 6 figures” seemed like thoughts I had when I worked in that field when I was in my early 20’s and clueless about everything.
