The Senate vote is scheduled for 10 pm E(S? I DON'T KNOW @blanche )T or 9 Central I think it's going to pass? The three red state Ds are voting yes and I haven't seen anything about Rs voting no. I could be wrong though because half of the time this shit moves too fast for me lol.

But this isn't reconciliation, they need 60 votes. So they'd need 10 more Dems if those 3 Republicans hold.

So last time we got paid. I remember being worried with XH (active duty). But then they paid. This time seems different. That’s why I was wondering. I was hoping I missed something. I’m remarried and MH is also active duty. Oh! If you bank with USAA or Navy Fed you can contact them because before they have offered to front the money to AD.

I forgot about the 60, duh. It took me half of the night last night to remember. I think we could legitimately be looking at a shutdown in that I don't see them finding a compromise before midnight. But hopefully it wouldn't take them too long to get people on board with the 3 or 4-day clean CR that Dems proposed to give them more time to negotiate on DACA and the budget.

It's so incredibly sad. A letter from the family - Our family sat together this morning with the Medical Examiner – Coroner’s office and we were informed of their final analysis that Tom Petty passed away due to an accidental drug overdose as a result of taking a variety of medications. Unfortunately Tom’s body suffered from many serious ailments including emphysema, knee problems and most significantly a fractured hip. Despite this painful injury he insisted on keeping his commitment to his fans and he toured for 53 dates with a fractured hip and, as he did, it worsened to a more serious injury. On the day he died he was informed his hip had graduated to a full on break and it is our feeling that the pain was simply unbearable and was the cause for his over use of medication. We knew before the report was shared with us that he was prescribed various pain medications for a multitude of issues including Fentanyl patches and we feel confident that this was, as the coroner found, an unfortunate accident. As a family we recognize this report may spark a further discussion on the opioid crisis and we feel that it is a healthy and necessary discussion and we hope in some way this report can save lives. Many people who overdose begin with a legitimate injury or simply do not understand the potency and deadly nature of these medications. On a positive note we now know for certain he went painlessly and beautifully exhausted after doing what he loved the most, for one last time, performing live with his unmatchable rock band for his loyal fans on the biggest tour of his 40 plus year career. He was extremely proud of that achievement in the days before he passed. We continue to mourn with you and marvel at Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' incredible positive impact on music and the world. And we thank you all for your love and support over the last months. Thank you also for respecting the memory of a man who was truly great during his time on this planet both publicly and privately. We would be grateful if you could respect the privacy of the entire Heartbreaker family during this difficult time. Dana Petty and Adria Petty

I just saw a tweet that the WH will not support a 3 or 4 day And yeah, I am so used to focusing on 50 because of the health care bill and tax bill it keeps throwing me through a loop.

A ton of people will be going to work and working without pay until it ends. A ton of people will be furloughed with no back pay. All because a group of mostly white men won't make a DACA deal.

It's all lip service. They use the "troops" to gain support but in reality will let them be at war without pay for their own benefit. I wish they'd stop trying to use my husbands service for their own personal gains.

I’m remarried and MH is also active duty. You're not missing anything. As of now, they haven't passed anything to pay military. Although I did read the pay for Feb 1 was already authorized so that pay check should be coming but I haven't seen anything to confirm that. I’ve read that about Feb 1st as well in a couple of places.

That could maybe be a good sign? Yeah, I'm hoping the fact that none of them talked about it and this back-forth with Graham means that there is something there. My guess is they'll try to do a 3-4 day CR because it's Congress and they always kick the can. McConnell will have to bring the WH on-board (which honestly I think they would if the votes are there because they never hold to any of their statements).

Tucker Carlson apparently hosted a Canadian white supremacist who said: "In Arizona, a majority of the grade school children now are Hispanic. That means Arizona's future is as a Hispanic society. That means in effect, the border has moved north." Well things just got extra weird. "Since people are noticing Canadian muppet Mark Steyn again now that he's doing the white genocide beat on Tucker, a reminder that he cut an album where he sings Seth MacFarlane-style lounge lizard songs about cats" "The name of the album is "Feline Groovy: Songs for Swining' Cats". This is a from a guy who considers himself a defender of Western culture and civilization against a rising tide of color"
