Oh my, and her name is Midelfart.

I . . . I just can’t with this timeline.

It’s sort of like Pinocchio except instead of her nose growing it’s her lips getting thinner.

Hey the pile of shit who did it before became governor. Admittedly of Arkansas, but still. Any one of Hitler’s cabinet can live well on the grift for the rest of their lives.

The cult will never wake up. If they did, they’d have to kill themselves for being woke.

On Wednesday, US district judge Jeffrey Cummings ordered the justice department to produce a list showing which of the 615 possible class members are still in custody by 19 November, the Chicago Tribune reports.

According to Cummings, he would allow the members’ release on a $1,500 bond as long as they have no criminal history or prior removal order. The ACLU of Illinois said that the order will mean the immediate release of 13 people who have been detained by federal officials.

As part of Wednesday’s order, Cummings also prohibited the government from pressuring detainees to agree to voluntary deportation while their cases are pending, the Chicago Tribune added.

. . . “In addition, more than 600 additional individuals may be released in a week on bond or ankle monitoring, while the parties determine if their arrests violated the consent decree,” Garcia added, referencing a 2022 consent decree that had been previously established concerning warrantless arrests in the Chicago area.

Dems caved and got nothing. NOW LET’S SEE THOSE FILES.

The podcast host also asked the Cowboys’ co-owner about “the Taylor Swift effect” on the NFL.

The music superstar, whom Trump said he “hated,” is engaged to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

That has led to Swift fans watching NFL games, even if only to get a glimpse of Swift watching Kelce’s team.

“How great is that?” Jones said of Swift’s impact, pointing out that 47 percent of the NFL’s fanbase is female.

Cold burn

It’s not that - it’s that the corporate news sewers have been told they’re not to say that. At some point that strategy will break, and it will do so through comments like these.

It’s not that he can’t believe trump is lying, it’s that he can’t believe everyone isn’t saying that ALL THE TIME. And since it’s his turn to talk, that’s how he said it.

Then add the reality that he’s got dementia and is a sociopath and pathological liar - and now you’re cookin’ with MAGA!

I don’t know if some of them are just new to being mods or if they’re crusty, clenched long-time mods but yeah I’ve been banned for absolutely the stupidest reasons here.

Moderating isn’t really fun, so you have to have a lot of people who want to do it, and Lemmy’s still finding its people.

Wut

“rebel” = “unquestioningly follow”

Hey, is this one of you “literal means figurative” people? Stop poisoning The Great Link! Get help!

Aye as is mine. Great idea though. Hope they get it working well.

No it’s sort of - a Red Pride. Wait no that’s not right. Blue pride? Well, whatever, they sure have a lot of it.

How about all thos patriots who benefitted from the PATRIOT Act?

What Democrats did secure is a future vote on the matter. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said on the chamber floor Sunday that he will hold a vote on a measure to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits by the middle of next month.

So that’s sooner - right before Christmas, which. Good timing.

They believe that Democrats have an upper hand on the issue of health care and that a separate health care vote will spotlight the differences between the two parties, even though it has little chance of becoming law. And they’re not ruling out another shutdown showdown in January, when the next tranche of funding expires (though critical programs such as food aid and WIC will already be funded, to lessen the pain for millions of Americans).

So they shut down again in Jan. and no one loses food - SNAP will be funded.

The deal, which has been in the works for the last five weeks, came together between three former governors — Shaheen of New Hampshire, Angus King of Maine and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire — along with Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the White House. Details of the deal were first reported by CNN.

One of those Democrats involved is Sen. Tim Kaine, who represents thousands of federal workers in Virginia and who said he supports the GOP’s promise for a future vote on the subsidies.

Senate Democratic leadership was split on the vote, with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer opposing the deal while his No. 2, retiring Sen. Dick Durbin, supported it.

They got the health care vote, which they weren’t going to, they got everyone fed, they got everyone paid, got the layoffs reversed, and they’ll be in good stead to do it again in Jan. Plus: here come the Epstein files.

How much should people who can’t afford food suffer for politics? Federal workers getting past due notices. Travel utterly fucked for the holidays. I can see the benefits to ending it now, funding some stuff for the year and then seeing what the healthcare/Epstein issues do in three months. Maybe nothing but that’s kind of unlikely.

Only MAGAts and jerk-offs use it though.

just privatize the ATC network to some billionaire.

Didn’t Musk try to steal the FAA code for one of his toilet companies to “rewrite”? I thought that was a headline from the past year.

Wait wait - so the minority leader knew what his party was doing??!?

“No, we kept leadership informed throughout,” Shaheen responded. “And I think it’s important to remember who’s responsible for why we got into this shutdown. We are here because we are concerned about the health care costs rising significantly on millions of Americans, and we didn’t have any indication before the shutdown started that our Republican colleagues were willing to address it.”

Normally TNR isn’t as fucky but “either he was scheming the whole time or he’s unable to control his party” is pretty much the most uncharitable spin that can possibly be put on it.

It seems like they got a guaranteed healthcare vote which they didn’t have before (MAGAs were just going to trash it then move on and not speak of it again), they got everyone’s jobs back, they got everyone guaranteed back pay, and they got language to say the MAGAts won’t do that again.

Not to mention we cleaned their fucking clock in the elections, and everyone gets food and gets to travel to see their families during the busiest travel-and-food-related holiday of the year. Plus, they’ll see them back at the OK corral in January to lock in the healthcare or else we go again.

Federal workers get paychecks, which, kind of a big deal normally but more so at holiday season, and they racked up some wins while the republicans got a funded three months.

It doesn’t look like the huge “blink” right-wing-owned corporate news sewers want to paint it as.

OH! AND the House will swear in our deciding Epstein vote, which should make for some interesting holiday reading for all the MAGAts and those of us who may see them on the holidays.

That might be the whole shootin’ match, really. Healthcare subsidy vote notwithstanding.
