Only Kinzinger and Cheney voted in favor. I thought we might get Meijer too.

I am getting perhaps irrationally irritated that there are so few Republicans that had even the smallest of spine to support the committee.
Is the Senate involved at all? I'd be curious to see the vote split there.

jaygee , I feel the same. I’ve been a big fan of Rep. Omar’s, but I do think she has some anti semitism leanings lately. It’s very disappointing. And if she doesn’t, she is not being careful with her words because there continually are questions about what she means. Also Dean Phillips is a Dem Congressman from her state and is Jewish and WOOF.

but also, the main reason we've arrived at this "partisan committee" is because the Senate voted down the independent commission. So, like, yall had your chance to do this in a less partisan way.....

Republicans: No bipartisan commission, there's no need to rehash this. Also Republicans: WTF OMG Y U NO INCLUDE US, this is so partisan... so we now have a convenient excuse to ignore it. Go us!

Schumer could establish a select committee in the Senate as well. If he has telegraphed plans to do that, I have not seen it. Fun fact, select committees are established by resolutions that are then voted on, so any member can propose a select committee, but the caveat is that leadership have to bring it to a vote.

Wowwwwwww H and I just realized when I wrote up the dry erase calendar in the front hallway I put the wrong number of years and we didn't notice for the whole month. A+ work, DC, you forgot how long you've been married.
I also have to do the math to figure out how old I am every time. Oy.

The combo of the climate change news recently and the Toyota news means that we're now looking to lease a 2022 Hyundai hybrid small SUV instead of buying. The Hyundai hybrid SUVs are so new we can't afford to buy and Toyota's the only one with old enough hybrid SUVs in our range. I've never leased before but I think it'll be a good fit for us if we want to buy it at the end of the lease. And if not that specific one, there would at least be more hybrid options available at that time. I'm a million hours late but you might want to look at the Kia Niro hybrid. I love it.

Plus, 2020 should somehow not be counted and also counted extra if you were locked up with just immediate family. Parenting in the pandemic is/was WOOF.

Felt like a bonus year when I finally figured it out! my math is solid this year only because I’m 40. Thank you, round even numbers.

This very much sums up my feelings. I'm really disappointed, though not surprised in my alma mater.

We got married in 2010, so that helps, otherwise I would have no idea, because most of the time I would be like a "ahh 6 years ago?"
