  • " to raise the tax rate on the highest earners and the other to close the so-called carried interest loophole, according to a Republican leadership source, as well as two other GOP sources familiar with the call."

    To try to get Democrats on board? Or if the Dems vote against it, to use as campaign fodder?

  • A clear example of NPR's biased journalism /sarcasm.

  • Congressional Republicans aired some of their grievances about public broadcasting to Kerger and Maher at a public hearing in March. Such complaints have been common over the years, but the broadcasters have avoided funding cuts, in large part because members of Congress don’t want to be seen as responsible if a station in their district shuts down. Who wants to be the public official who killed “Sesame Street”?

  • That's what I thought, too, But according to that law firm's (https://cornerstonelaw.us/22nd-amendment-doesnt-say-think-says/) article,

    While the Amendment’s drafters spilled extra ink ensuring that someone who is elevated to the Presidency for more than two years of another President’s term due to that other President’s death or removal from office, it does nothing to clarify that one who is elected twice cannot rise to the Presidency again. In short, if the 22nd Amendment’s purpose was to ensure that there was a 10 year maximum on service for anyone regardless of how they became President, it could have said so.

    and with our Supreme Court in his pocket...

  • Gotta make those cuts! /s

    Cybersecurity is as important to national defense as the military is. And while they won't mess with the military, all they want to do is cut things they don't understand. They knee-jerk react to things and act as though they are making things better.
