Why would the democrats give the Republicans anything, especially veto power. Who the hell is running that show.
Eric Boehlert:
‘…”It’s time the media stop covering the GOP as a political party - it’s not,” tweeted SiriusXM radio show host Dean Obeidallah. “Today’s Republican party is a white nationalist, fascist movement and those exact words need to be used by the media so everyone gets the threat the GOP poses to our nation.”
It’s clearly a conservative movement that’s flown off the rails, and resembles nothing we’ve seen before in modern American politics.
Just in recent days:
• Republicans in Arizona running the clown ‘audit’ of the 2020 election are searching for traces of bamboo in paper ballots to prove they are counterfeits smuggled in from Southeast Asia.
• A Colorado State representative referred to a colleague as “Buckwheat” while addressing the House.
• QAnon loyalist and Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene aggressively confronted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the halls of Congress, and falsely accused her of supporting “terrorists.”
• 124 GOP-friendly retired generals and admirals released an open letter spreading the lie that President Joe Biden stole the election, while labeling him a “Marxist” and “tyrannical” threat to America.
• A Republican lawmaker in Michigan wants to force non-partisan “fact checkers” to register with the state and face $1 million fines if public officials prove “wrongful conduct” in their work.

We also need to replenish the rainy day fund. We needed it in 2020 (and used it), there will come a time when we need it again.
We’re also going to need to put some aside for fire needs. In fact, I can see a lot of better uses for it than an across-the-board tax refund.
re: #35 Backwoods_Sleuth
Republicans hate statewide elections for everything which is what Ballot initiatives are. That’s because all of their attempts to gerrymander are useless.
This is also why Republicans are against the popular election of senators. Because, it would give them control, against the wishes of the majority.
We need a rarely-used Internet death penalty for people so corrosive to a society that they can’t be allowed online to mislead idiots to rouse a rabble anymore. Banning the ten most destructive people every year would clean up most of the mess in a decade.

$100 billion surplus: Newsom expands budget as California awash in tax money, federal dollars
[…]
His proposed budget includes $35 million over five years to pay for “universal basic income pilot programs.” It’s built on the idea of giving lower-income people a set amount of money each month to ease the stresses of poverty that make it harder for people to find full-time jobs and stay healthy. Critics say free money provides a disincentive to work.
He also included money to give Medicaid benefits to people 60 and older living in the country illegally. California already pays for health care for children and adults up to age 26 in that immigration category.
Newsom said he wants to spend $11 billion to build what his office termed “a modernized transportation system for the next century.” That includes not only repairing decayed roads and bridges, but more spending for the state’s troubled bullet train, other public transportation, the state’s ocean ports, and projects around the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
[…]
There’s enough items in Newsom’s budget to drive Fox News hosts into thousands of hours of on-screen whining.

Their position was it is time to relax the mask mandate for those vaxed, otherwise the vax hesitant ask “why bother getting vaxed? I still have to mask up.” The hope is this move will help convince more people to get vaxed.

re: #105 Michele: Out of the closet, Into the fire
Mention her name to a Tran-Woman and then stand back. I don’t claim to speak for the entire Community, but the part I hang out with despise her with the heat of a thousand suns.
she made her move when there was no risk to career, family relationships or finances. and of course she had the financial wherewithal to do it.
not a lot of daring compared to what so many face

🚨BREAKING: An investigation has found that GOP darling and absolute bigot Marjorie Taylor Greene and her husband have 2 active homestead exemptions — in violation of Georgia law. (AKA she is not doing her taxes legitimately.)

Investigation: Marjorie Taylor Greene filed homestead exemptions on 2 homes, violating state law
“…Channel 2 investigative reporter Justin Gray pulled records showing that the Greenes are getting the tax break on two different homes in two different counties.
In a statement, Greene’s office told Gray to mind his own business and called it a “pathetic smear” when he asked them about the homestead exemptions.
Greene still owns a North Fulton county home, but also bought a $610,000 house in Floyd County last year in the 14th Congressional district, which she represents.
wsbtv.com
“Fulton County tax officials confirm to Gray, that Greene never stopped getting the tax break on the Fulton property.”

Here’s a little more info/analysis of the Jan. 6 Commission (Daily Kos)
Thompson and Katko have crafted legislation to create a commission modeled after the 9/11 panel. It would have 10 members, half of them appointed by Democratic congressional leaders, who would also appoint the chair. Republicans would appoint the other half, including the vice chair. Critically, if the chair and vice chair agree, the panel would have the power to issue subpoenas. So, problematically, they can veto each other’s efforts to subpoena witnesses or documents. On the other hand, the chair is given sole power to get information from federal agencies and to appoint staff.
That, New York University law professor Ryan Goodman tells Greg Sargent at The Washington Post, gives the forces of truth a chance to prevail. “Thanks to powers invested in the Chairperson alone, the Democratically-appointed members would have significant control over the direction of the investigation,” Goodman said, helping to prevent Republican appointees from “engaging in mischief.” He added that the “Chairperson would be able to move ahead quickly with getting information from the government without needing a vote,” saying that the chair can “appoint staff” who would “shape how the investigation and hearings unfold.”

Former President Trump is calling on his supporters to withhold financial support from Karl Rove, the longtime Republican strategist who has spoken critically of the former president.
“Everyone is so tired of watching Karl Rove on Fox News,” Trump said in a statement issued through his political action committee, Save America. “He has played the game for decades, but all he and his buddies want to do is take your money and run.” Source: The Hill

Her reality show tanked badly… she drove cross country in an RV with half a dozen trans women of approximately her age, who’d been very helpful during her transition. They were trying to do “activist” and “raising awareness” stuff in various regions of the country, and by the 4th of 5th episode all her traveling companions hated her.

Possibly, they are in San Diego rather than El Paso though. They are all journalists. Harassed every time they were at the border. One had their passport information (or perhaps the fast-track border crossing info) change ethnicity from “White, Non-Hispanic or Latino” to “White, Hispanic or Latino” without their knowing it and I believe they had to use a FIOA inquiry to find that out.

I heard Badfinger’s “Baby Blue” on the radio today and decided to learn it. I really don’t have much of a problem playing C-shaped barre chords anymore, so it’s not hard. I have one of those six-degrees of separation things going though. My good friend from our high school band played drums for Joey Molland’s Badfinger for several years—lots of state fairs and the like and I saw them a couple of times. It wasn’t nearly like the original lineup, but the fans loved it.
My friend is the guy who runs the studio in rural Wisconsin where Cory Wong has gone a few times to sit in on sessions that I’ve posted about before. I was thinking how fun it would be to have a couple of Badfinger songs under my belt the next time I go to see him, but now he’s got some super quality session people playing there, so it would be nothing more than quaint.
After the Joey Molland experience he toured with the Gin Blossoms for a few years. There are stories to tell, but I won’t break confidentiality.
So anyway, I’ve decided that I’m going to spend my spare time this summer—apart from research, etc.—learning tons of classic pop songs.

They obviously want the viewers to believe that fine lawyering and cleverly picking the right jury is key to success in trials, but…
My takeaway is that all of their victorious verdicts, every single one of them, is down to them having two excellent investigators on staff — one cyber, one shoe leather. It always the investigators who find the critical info to inform the strategy. Every single goddamned time. All of their clients would have been convicted without the kind of investigations that no public defender, and damn few private attorneys (even from top-dollar white shoe firms) would have done.
The smallest but coolest thing that I am going to appreciate now that the mask mandate is over is watching President Biden behave and get the treatment and trappings that all other presidents have had.

There is no civil war in the Republican Party—the Confederates won long ago.Instead, we are witnessing the end of a long molting process as the GOP slithers into its final form: a counter-majoritarian, fascist entity.
Republicans are shedding their masks and hoods, spitting out their dog whistles and outright embracing the Big Lie and the violent insurrectionists, conspiracy theorists, and racists who make up the party’s base and, increasingly, its representatives in Congress.

The Reverend Megan Rohrer, who uses they/them pronouns, was elected bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELC) in America’s Sierra Pacific synod, based in Sacramento, California, for a six-year term. This makes Rohrer the first openly transgender person elected to serve as a bishop for a major Christian denomination in the nation. Notably, Rohrer was actually the first openly transgender person to be ordained in the ELC back in 2006, and again, the first openly transgender person to serve as a pastor back in 2014.
