Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Let me file that under fuck it.

He really is that stupid.

When we show up, we win.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Petty moves from a petty man.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Another SpaceX Launch

This post is in: 

About 3:47 Eastern, SpaceX is launching another rocket. This is an already-used-once Block 4 version, so it will not return to land. They are, though, going to try to recover 1/2 of the payload fairing, hoping to catch it with a small boat in the Pacific. Should be fun, if slow.

 

They are launching some satellites, two scientific and five Iridium satellites for the NEXT constellation.

    Trump spending cuts allowed to target kids’ health insurance
    By SARAH FERRIS 05/22/2018 11:03 AM EDT

    The Government Accountability Office on Tuesday delivered a victory to the Trump administration by greenlighting a proposal to claw back more than $7 billion in unused cash from the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

    In a report sent to congressional offices Tuesday morning, the GAO approved the vast majority of the administration’s $15.3 billion plan to cancel spending.

    With that legal approval, the White House’s plan for so-called rescissions will likely retain its filibuster-proof powers in the GOP-controlled Senate, easing the way for potential passage with a simple majority vote.

    Democrats have argued that the White House’s attempt to target CHIP — a mandatory spending program for kids’ health coverage — should disqualify it from that procedural advantage.

    One problem found by the GAO is related to a pair of Department of Transportation highway trust fund accounts, which the Trump administration proposed to cut by a total of $133 million.

    The GAO said that the Trump administration did not have authority to withhold funds from certain projects because the DOT secretary “has no discretion over the obligation of funds provided for the specified projects,” GAO wrote in its report.

    The House has already drafted legislation mirroring the White House’s request, which is expected to receive a House floor vote in June.

    Senate GOP leaders have not said whether they would take up an identical bill. Several senators, including Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), have raised issues with the Trump administration’s package, including the cuts to CHIP.

    In the Senate, a single Republican “no” vote likely would be enough to sink the package. Democrats are expected to unanimously oppose the bill in both chambers.
