  1. Everyone supposedly in the 'yes' vote is coincidentally not up for reelection in 2026?
  2. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/congressional-deal-would-ban-many-hemp-thc-products-while-excluding-provisions-to-let-va-doctors-recommend-medical-marijuana/
  3. Taking stock of the situation: 1. most here knew, and loudly expressed as much, Schumer couldn't hold a long shutdown together. They were proven correct. 2. Democrats put a target on the backs of Republicans for the shutdown as well as exploding grocery and healthcare/insurance prices. Large cracks in the Republican rank and file on Epstein has now spread to healthcare costs (Orc MTG). 3. Republicans were happy to let everything expire without having to vote on it specifically. Now, all Republicans will have to go on record in a vote. They even have Trump out there tweeting about healthcare plans (lol) 4. The 2024 election was seemingly won on affordability and the party that is perceived as the "common man" champion (somehow it was Republicans). That is not the case any longer and Democrats had a good/great night at the polls, the first voting test since 2024. They look like the ones fighting for affordability and the working class.
  4. 7 new lawsuits, 4 of the cases saw victims commit suicide
  5. Pressure's on Mike Johnson now... Adelita Grijalva, ready your pen!
  6. Ah, I see they do have a new date. So, now the House has to pass it despite Johnson already cancelling the week's session? The legislation does not need to include provisions for back pay since that is already protected by law?
  7. If they pass the House version, it is only good until the 21st. Wouldn't they be back at it in 12 days, much earlier than February? If they pass a new version with a later date, would that force Johnson's hand to open the House and risk the final signature for the Epstein files.
  8. If the Senate Dems cave with little in return but the promise of a vote, the sentiment on blame for the shutdown will absolutely 100% shift to Democrats and Republicans will yell it from the rooftops. Surely they realize this...
  9. Corporate Dems tucking tail again?
  10. Got gelato with Stafford, wife and kids on Friday night at Bacio di Latte. Yes, "with" is doing a lot of work there # cool starry bruh
  11. Updated family guy inspiration
  12. I get that ball was underthrown, but Pitts just let the ball fall incomplete without even an attempt to get the ball. 6'6 and a crazy athlete and all he can muster is to stick his hands out for a ball clearly heading for the back of the defenders helmet. Defender is toast, he could at the least attempt to earn a DPI. No attempt to high point. No attempt to plant and get back to the ball.
  13. https://philadelphia.today/2025/11/tsa-secuirty-checkpoints-close-phl/ Like anyone needs another reason to avoid Philadelphia

  15. TSA has fortunately been a breeze in San Francisco, Austin and Los Angeles. Only flights facing delays affecting us were today from Los Angeles to Austin. Both were American Airlines, one of them ours, with 3 hour delays. United, SWA and Delta flights were not delayed at all from LAX to AUS. American will basically have two flights leaving and landing in Austin at almost the same time. Odd but we gladly took a refund and hopped onto another airline. Daughter got back from Japan just fine. Both daughter (love) and son (midway) fly next week and then my son again for Thanksgiving (ohare).

  17. Nice little supply chain battle involving China https://www.supplychainbrain.com/articles/42783-china-slams-dutch-for-hard-line-in-standoff-over-nexperia-chips Surely not? Never happened anywhere in China..shock and awe
  18. Odd given ABIA has frequently had issues with their staffing in the tower this year...unless I am not remembering correctly
  19. This highlights the miscalculation of the Trump Republicans. They seem to assume they can be the only ones to target the anger of their base. They seem to believe that the majority will not become radicalized by their actions and turned against them with true force.
  20. I do know what to think watching a Texas Longhorn men's basketball team that plays like they are coached
