A bipartisan budget agreement in the works. But will it pass??? www.politico.com/news/2024/01/07/congress-spending-deal-shutdown-00134200"Lawmakers will have to work incredibly fast — federal cash for the departments of Agriculture, Transportation, Energy, Veterans Affairs and more expires on Jan. 19. Funding for the rest of the government, including the biggest domestic programs and the Pentagon, runs out on Feb. 2. A shutdown remains very possible, with a host of thorny policy issues for congressional leaders to work through in extremely limited time, including conservative demands to attach GOP border reforms to spending legislation and Republican ultimatums holding up Biden’s separate request for more than $100 billion to aid Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan."

I saw a tweet about former Pres Obama featuring heavily in Biden's presidential campaign this cycle, but of course now I can't find it again.

I saw a quick clip on the news this morning of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse stumping in Iowa today and I just hate all of them so much and I can't describe the rage I felt thinking about our first female president being Nikki Haley.

I won't even consider it. I shan't. I can’t. I'll just be so pissed if it happens that way. But also if she won the primary it would be a pretty good repudiation of MAGA. But also she is patently terrible and doesn't deserve to be the first female president. But also I'm not scared of her or her brand. I contain multitudes and I hate presidential years.

My husband finally got to break out his new robot snow blower. Once he put the spikes on it cleared the 11" really well. Before that was a bit of a struggle. To be fair though, the snow was as tall as or even slightly taller than it. 😆

I will riot if Republicans get the first female president. It just wouldn't be fair for the party that literally hates women to be the first to get a woman in the Oval Office. Of course, their sexist, misogynistic base is why I'm pretty sure that will never happen. But still, riot!

They also got to pick the first female supreme Court justice (though I didn't have much beef with Sandra). ::stamps feet::

Oh lordy there are tapes. Wait, I feel like the article says there are not actual tapes - despite its misleading title. Unless I’m reading wrong?

Ok so if 14th says seditionists can't be president And some states say he's a seditionist Then rest of 14th says both houses of congress can vote that he's not seditionist.
So supreme court should punt it to the house and senate to Duke it out.

Oh this is so sad. I hope everyome recovers. 'At least 21 people were injured in an explosion that was most likely caused by a gas leak and substantially damaged a hotel in downtown Fort Worth on Monday afternoon, the authorities said. One person was in critical condition and two were in serious condition, Craig Trojacek, a spokesman for the Fort Worth Fire Department, said at a news conference. Eight others had minor injuries, he added. The authorities learned about the additional injuries later, including one person who went to a hospital on their own.' 21 Injured in Explosion at Fort Worth Hotel www.nytimes.com/2024/01/08/us/fort-worth-texas-explosion.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

All the headlines this morning about how 2023 was the hottest year on record and I keep thinking about the meme that adds "so far."
The people with the ability to actually do something about it aren't and it's going to keep getting worse.
Yes, I'm spiraling.

CNN is streaming TFG’s immunity argument, it’s a decent distraction from impending/ish severe weather

Pretty sure a lot of old boys club GOP voters wouldn't vote for her anyways because she has a vagina.
