  1. I wonder if they just took out the tax increases how much of the 'moderate' opposition would just disappear, at least in the House.
  2. The ranks are meh, especially Specialist being used 4 times. BSG officer ranks or bust, with RAF flag officer ranks (Space Commodore, Space Marshal) And changing 'Wings' to 'Deltas' is also dumb, they should have gone with Regiment. If Space Force is going to last it needs to get into Cyber as well. Oof
  3. Hearing on updating SSI, man the Republican ranking member doesn't get it.
  4. Not only what gets cut but does the cut make the policy nonfunctional. The Home Care component was $400b to achieve 2 objectives: clear the HCBS waiting lists and raise wages for HCBS workers . $190b can't do both and probably can't clear the waiting lists. Worse, the States probably won't take the money if it is too little or has a sunset. The COVID bills had a lot of HCBS money but because the money was temporary the money went to hazard pay and PPE, not getting people out of Nursing Homes.
  5. I'm surprised this is all we've seen, I guess they're saving it for the Netflix thing?
  6. The US is going to start looking for another yard to build Frigates soon and Bath is a likely bidder so they'll be more busy soon. Besides the subs the Australians are also building these with British assistance.
  7. Buying Tomahawks for their Destroyers too, along with other goodies. Australia buying Tomahawk missiles for air warfare destroyers - Defense Brief DEFBRIEF.COM After the shock announcement that it would walk away from the purchase of French submarines and instead build nuclear-powered submarines together with the US and UK, Australia announced the purchase of new missile systems for its armed forces. More specifically, the country's prime minister said
  8. Maybe trying to pack an entire agenda into one bill is a bad idea... Infrastructure Summer: The Sophie’s Choice of the Reconciliation Bill - The American Prospect PROSPECT.ORG Democrats may have to decide whether to do a few things well or a bunch of things not so well.
  9. As they should, but it should set off political alarm bells that the house is on fire and the political institutions should deal with it. If it doesn't, that's on us.
