Please won't someone think of the muddied moguls???
Still image from the Simpsons depicting Helen Lovejoy fit to burst with concern. Her arms are at the side of her head in fists, mouth about to speak and eyes looking up in concern. Onlookers in the background look at each other skeptically

He's giving tee-ball energy

I lowkey think AI just hallucinated this in there.

Here's the version the house gave to the Senate.

Why would Senate Republican leadership decide on their own to raise money off gambling losses. Is it a flaccid attempt to offset costs elsewhere? Or a mistake?

The concept doesn't make sense /2
SEC. 110014. Extension of limitation on wagering losses. (a) In general.—Section 165(d) is amended by striking “and before January 1, 2026,”. (b) Effective date.—The amendment made by this section shall apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.

Reminds me of this Vonnegut quote from Slaughterhouse 5:
But the Gospels actually taught this: *Before you kill somebody, make absolutely sure he isn’t well connected. So it goes.* The flaw in the Christ stories, said the visitor from outer space, was that Christ, who didn’t look like much, was actually the Son of the Most Powerful Being in the Universe. Readers understood that, so, when they came to the crucifixion, they naturally thought… *Oh boy—they sure picked the wrong guy to lynch that time!* And that thought had a brother: “*There are* right *people to lynch*.” Who? People not well connected. So it goes.

Skinhead with this bumper sticker today... No other stickers. Seems neo nazi to me. Yikes
Sticker of cartoon trump with exaggeratedly large head in nazi uniform next to stars, a nazi eagle and "TRUMP" in red letters. It looks like sticker was altered, its missing a section above nazi eagle.

How Musk's Doge team "the incels" treats career professionals. Chilling.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
“It’s an extreme version of ‘who do you trust, when and how?’” said Kristina Drye, a speechwriter at the agency, who watched dozens of senior colleagues escorted out of the building by security. “It felt like the Soviet stories that one day someone is beside you and the next day they’re not.” People started meeting for coffee blocks away because “they didn’t feel safe in the coffee shops here to even talk about what’s going on”, she added. “I was in the elevator one morning and there was an older lady standing beside me and she had glasses on and I could see tears coming down under her glasses and before she got off her elevator she took her glasses off, wiped her eyes, and walked out,” she said. “Because if they see you crying, they know where you stand.” Hundreds of employees were locked out of the system that weekend, and many still don’t know their status. (The Guardian has seen emails in which USAid administrators admit they do not know the employment states of current USAid officials.) “I’ve been furloughed, I guess?” said one contractor with 15 years of experience for the bureau for humanitarian assistance, where she had helped coordinate urgent responses in Ukraine, Gaza, Somalia and Latin America. “I don’t know what my status is but I don’t think I work here right now.” By Monday, Kliger wrote an email to all staff at 12.42am to tell them not to bother coming into the building that day. The incident has illustrated how Doge employees with Musk’s backing were able to override USAid leadership and bypass government procedures for accessing restricted areas with classified materials, fueling criticism that his agency is a national security risk.

I'm scared that senate dems are taking a victory lap on this freeze... Like there are still parts frozen? Also theres so much other shit going on.

"stood our ground in a big way" is not very specific in comparison to the targeted illegalities Sen Klobuchar just pointed out...
No. 2 is, when they start violating the law and firing inspectors general without following the law, when they start illegally cutting off funding for home heating and other things that people need to live, we are going to stand our ground. When an unknown bureaucrat in the Office of Management and Budget issues a two-page memorandum that says, “Hey, we’re just cutting off cancer trials. Sorry,” we stood our ground in a big way. So it is a combination of finding that common ground and standing our ground
