Technically starting this a half hour early but I figured we could all use some good news to start off the week.

I saw the alert from NPR this morning. I'm so glad for them.

Rep Andy Kim launched a primary challenge against Sen Bob Menendez (I think thus is great)

There has been so much terrible punditry lately. I feel like PSA needs an entire episode of *just* the Take Appreciators segment.

Which was so predictable. I've always gotten a shady vibe from him.

Not sure what to think about this I'm guessing the current owner just wanted a lot more? It did say that buds reached $195,000 so somebody was willing to pay *almost* 200k. So ::shrug::

This is great. I am shocked that this region hasn't had passenger rail since 2005. Wtf.

Has anybody seen any Republicans call on Sen Menendez to resign? I've seen a bunch of Dems do it but haven't heard from any Republicans.

For those following along at home, the latest on funding the government:
Schumer is putting a "clean" continuing resolution that would fund the government for 45 days today at 5 p.m. Meanwhile, Kevin can't even get a rule passed to even bring an appropriations bill to the floor and will try for a 3rd time tonight at 6:30 p.m.
Kevin Mccarthy is going to shut down the government to avoid losing his job.

Government closure is a forgone conclusion at this point.

Government closure is a forgone conclusion at this point. Yep. My husband was told yesterday it's not "if", it's "how long". That's cool. We don't need 2/3 of our household income consistently.

I hope it is swift. It impacts so many! I am fortunate in that I will keep working and getting a paycheck unless this drags into the next CY, but ability to execute work is significantly hampered.

This is a big deal
'Senator Cory Booker called on Senator Robert Menendez, his fellow New Jersey Democrat, to resign Tuesday morning, ending days of silence after Mr. Menendez was indicted on bribery charges.
As New Jersey’s junior senator, Mr. Booker often has described Mr. Menendez, the senior senator, as a friend, ally and mentor. His decision to condemn Mr. Menendez, and to join the growing chorus of state and federal officials calling on him to step down, demonstrates the deepening crisis facing a senator who until last week had occupied one of the most powerful and secure positions in American politics.'

Long wow. Some of the amendments proposed to the agriculture spending bill would *require* schools to sell chocolate milk and would end the USDA's weekly farmers market.
This shit is why Americans are unhealthy.
