Not a liar.  The funding for the cancer kids was in the first bill, president musk canned it, then it was removed.  All true.

Do you have any idea at all how these bills work? They're not going to pass it just because 1 part is good, and the rest fat

If someone served you a filet Mignon on a bed of and maggots, would you eat the whole plate? Or would you throw it out and request just a filet without the rest of the schit?

Also, your entire statement isn't true. Can you pick out the part that isn't, or are you programmed to not see it?

Filet mignon is a not a great cut of beef.

Looks like they're gonna try again.

The new bill removes the unlimited debt that lil Donny wanted.  Not sure if musk will sign off on it or not.

Great to see Clownzo already get an L before taking office, with 38 Republicans turning against him. This gives me hope that there will be checks and balances to this looming circus.

The Washington Commanders’ plan for a new stadium in Washington, D.C., needs a recalibration.

The U.S. House of Representatives avoided a government shutdown by passing legislation that will extend funding into mid-March. However, the bill no longer includes language that would transfer control of the RFK campus in the nation’s capital from the federal government to the District.

Now we need the Senate to not cave in to his confirmation work-around and not confirm a lot of his wacky cabinet pics.

So I read a bit about this. There was a provision in this bill about transferring land that is close to DC to allow it to have a stadium and all the other stuff around stadiums.

It was introduced by one of the bigger goobers in Congress - James Comer. Same dope who struck out after spending years investigating Biden. He’s the chairman of the Oversight Committee.

There was no mention of funding for this stadium in the provision according to the article I read on ESPN.

So not sure why you would care about this issue or be celebrating it was removed.

It was fun to point out the musk oligarchy we now have and watch you and the others defend it.

In the end there are still some good people trying to do the right thing for America and stand up to this new regime.  I'll take the dub.

This is what I've been seeing a lot of when it comes to the cancer research bill.

@chamath

I find the pediatric cancer bill saga very fascinating. It was apparently passed in March and then went to the Senate where it languished. It was then pushed back into an omnibus CR in the house that was on its way to being approved before the bill died. Was that a tactic to save the pediatric cancer bill for later so it could be used to wrap an otherwise pork barrel CR with some surface credibility? I don’t know as I have not actually read the bill’s specifics but the naming of it, at least, is trying to tell the reader it is righteous and good. In any event, does this happen often? Is this how Congress works - which is to say, not at all except at the last minute at which point it uses a few branches of good work around which they hang all kinds of messy projects, kickbacks and favors?

What would be so difficult to put a cap on these bills to only one item per bill. If they are needed and are good for the country and keep the country on budget, they will be very easy to pass. A simple day's work and there you have it. If it's stupid, useless spending, then 90% of those voting on it will see right through the BS and call out the person who wrote the bill and investigate whose palms that guy is greasing and for how much profit to himself. Then start impeachment proceedings on him.

I would prefer that each bill is handled separately and that none are snuck in with a bunch of other crap.  We need transparency.  The government is suppose to be working for us.

The last one of those bills I read from start to finish was just insulting. When you see smaller things shoved in for $2M here, $4M there, sprinkled all throughout the bill, you just have to laugh. It's as if it's something from an SNL skit. But these people act like they are serious. 

This government has lost it's purpose years ago. Completely gone are the days of those being public service jobs. Even the concept of public service is lost completely.

This seems like a divisive thing to say not knowing the bills specifics. He implies here that the bill is not righteous and good. I think most of us don't want kickbacks and favors. Regarding the idea that each bill will be presented solo, this seems naive to me. In our 2 party system, each side has different ideas of what is good for the country. They need to compromise. With that comes you get this, we get this. This for lack of a better word is democracy. But yes, 1500 page bills are excessive, and can create a lack of transparency.

What i said was it was included in the first CR before musk wanted it out.  But it did eventually get approved.  Bad news for maga, good news for kids with cancer.
