Starting this early because for personal reasons I can't bear looking at a thread titled Sept 11th all week. So please forgive me for jumping the gun.

In fun weekend happenings, Kamala hosted a 50th anniversary celebration for hiphop. I love this so much.

The judge rejected Mark Meadows’ request to move case to federal. Oh noes.

The judge rejected Mark Meadows’ request to move case to federal. Oh noes. He's now trying to get a stay for that order so he can try to get it overturned. |

This spineless asshole
Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday directed top congressional Republicans to open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, blowing past G.O.P. divisions as he worked to appease far-right lawmakers who are threatening to oust him amid a pitched fight over spending.
Mr. McCarthy said he would task three committees — Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means — with carrying out the inquiry into the president and his family as Republicans hunt for evidence of financial wrongdoing or corruption.

Hey Kev! I’ve got a little song for you.
🎶 Loathing, unadulterated loathing, for your face, your voice, your clothing…let’s just say, I loathe it all.

This is probably a dumb question, but why is Morocco refusing US aid?

This is probably a dumb question, but why is Morocco refusing US aid? I read something this morning about them refusing all aid, not just US, because they are wary of foreign aid workers. |

I read they accepted aid from Spain and the UK. I guess it’s not clear at this point.

This is what I saw from wapo- gifted link wapo.st/3PhmZ8e Morocco has been slow to accept foreign earthquake aid. What’s happening? The United Nations and countries including France, Germany, Italy and the U.S. said they were waiting to provide help after Friday’s 6.8-magnitude earthquake. Why? Sensitivity about the scrutiny of foreign aid workers may play a role. But Morocco’s reluctance has baffled foreign officials. The death toll neared 3,000 as rescue efforts continue. (as an aside, anyone else get the "7" email each morning from WaPo? I'm sure @dc does  ) |

Fucking dumb, but 🤞🤞🤞 this means the govt won't shut down. I don't want to be too hopeful though |

byjove, I get the 7 every day  I read Axios for my city, the 7, and the times morning update before I start work everyday. My attention span has been very problematic lately so I'm grateful for someone spoon-feeding me tidbits right now.

McCarthy has no spine at all and I hope this wildly backfires on him. I would imagine the (admittedly few) reasonable Republicans will be really pissed off at this.

This is horrible 'More than 5,000 people were killed in Libya after torrential rains caused two dams to burst near the coastal city of Derna, destroying much of the city and carrying entire neighborhoods into the sea, local authorities said on Tuesday. Libya, a North African nation splintered by a war, was ill-prepared for the storm, called Daniel, which swept across the Mediterranean Sea to batter its coastline. The country is administered by two rival governments, complicating rescue and aid efforts, and its infrastructure had been poorly maintained after more than a decade of political chaos.' More Than 5,000 Dead in Libya as Dam Collapses Deepen Flood Disaster www.nytimes.com/2023/09/12/world/middleeast/libya-floods-dams-collapse.html?smid=nytcore-android-share |
