What happens if Congress doesn't fund the government?


If lawmakers can't reach a deal to avoid a shutdown, many federal workers would be furloughed, while essential functions like Social Security payments would continue.

@Piousunyn Exactly. Just take anything he says and flip it, and then you've got the truth.

Chris Murphy: "I read the headlines about the Liz Cheney criminal referral and almost every single one of them in mainstream media played this straight as if it was a normal function of legislative power, instead of telling the truth, which is that this is made up out of thin air."

Trumps sycophants are falsely attacking innocent Americans. Speak up now, while you still can

It’s #STFUfriday!

When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:

- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.

- Am I free to leave?

- I am not answering any questions.

- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."

- I want to talk to a lawyer.

US cops are generally allowed to lie to get you to talk.

There are movements in several states to ban such tactics. Support them. Start them.

In the meantime, STFU.

As with every #STFUfriday post, I'm a lawyer in the USA. These comments are based on law in the USA. (And they apply to all people in the USA, whether or not they are citizens.) Some US states provide more protections than this. /end

When I served on Vermont’s House Judiciary Committee, I was a strong supporter of a bill to prevent deception in police work. In part it made inadmissible admissions made due to threats, physical harm, or deceptive practices against juveniles.

It passed the house and senate and was vetoed by the governor.

@Piousunyn Interesting. Can you expand on that thought?

The word for Dec 20 is "Zen"

Post and tell us about a song with a title, lyric, theme or meaning related to the word.

First to come to mind is Pigs in Zen by Jane's Addiction, but this morning's listening is the very sweet new (!!!!!!) album by The Legendary Wolfgang Press, A 2nd Shape, which features a track called Reset Your Mind. Which is pretty zen, if'n you ask me.

Just because the alleged perpetrator of the terrorist attack in Germany is a Saudi national doesn't mean that he was not radicalized and steered by the Kremlin to commit that heinous act.
Most 9/11 terrorists had also been Saudi nationals.
Not directed by the Kremlin.

What happened today in Germany occurred one day after the anniversary of the terrorist 2016 Berlin truck attack killing 13 & injuring dozens more.

too little, too late... if they thought the battle with Rs was "uphill" before...

Lawmakers unveil draft paid family leave bills


“The American people have waited too long for us to solve a major issue that vexes nearly every family in the nation, and in dropping our discussion bills today, we’re putting Congress on notice that we expect their attention and action,” Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.), co-chair of the House Paid Family Leave Working Group, said in a press release.

The announcement follows a policy framework released by the House Paid Family Leave Working Group in January. Earlier this year, the group faced an uphill battle with the House GOP majority regarding funding. While Republicans tend to propose tax-based benefits, Democrats tend to lean toward direct government assistance.

The press release issued Tuesday said that the drafts do two things: They focus on incentives for states to create their own paid family leave programs, and they create a body and process to allow states to make benefits and practices that support workers and businesses.

oho, the Musk-Thiel plot thickens... how did I not know this?

LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman says he needed security after Elon Musk formed a ’conviction with no evidence’ that he was close with Jeffrey Epstein


Hoffman, who was part of the “PayPal Mafia” with Musk, now alleges his former colleague is “immoral and irresponsible,”

Jeffrey Epstein, the New York financier who was charged with sex trafficking dozens of minors in 2019 before he died by suicide

the media all do this... suicide (his in particular) in passive voice

just say HE KILLED HIMSELF

(whether he actually did or not is an entirely different debate)

Then, the fossil fuel industry spent well over a billion dollars towards getting Democrats out of power.

Now, Trump is threatening tariffs if European Union countries do not conduct a large scale purchase of American oil and gas.

Just like Putin, ordealmaker Trump is a gambler, but with even less braincells.

Until today he evidently hasn't learned a thing from Peter Navarro's #StupidEconomics.

As psychopathic & dementing as he is, all that matters to him is obviously just hurting people, no matter who & no matter the reason.

The reason Donald Trump has been rated the worst presidential office occupant in U.S. history is quite simple: 👇👇👇
