I don't see how it's possible to remain ideologically consistent when supporting both the abolition of the Senate and DC statehood.

You could be in favor of shifting to a more representative body ala a parliamentary system or something similar.

My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

DC would have reps apportioned by their population in the House still.

So you could support ending the Senate but also giving them representation in the House

IDK I haven't thought too much about it TBH

Huntsville has been a center of the US space program since the 50s, it makes sense for the Space Force to be headquartered there.

libs have been poised to reclaim space force for a while. Netflix whipped up a whole show about how space force is actually awesome and the only problem was orange man bad, complete with Steve carell and John malkovich talking down to an AOC stand-in who thinks maybe we should feed people with that money instead

NewsChannel5, Nashville posted:

Morris also called any continued construction a "willful violation" of TVA regulations.

However, in early February, NewsChannel 5 cameras caught work happening on the mine site. Despite the violations, the TVA said it doesn't have the authority to force construction to stop.

"TVA has notified VSG (Volunteer Sand and Gravel) in writing on two occasions to cease and desist the operation pending another permit application. TVA does not have authority to force the work to stop, but will continue to pursue permit compliance using available options through our process," A TVA spokesperson said in a statement.

Garcia worries the lack of enforcement will send the wrong message to other mining companies, and is now urging the TVA to take the company to court.

The Biden admin wants this Neera nomination so loving bad for some reason. I can't figure since she's just some Hillary Clinton hanger oner that no one outside of leftwing twitter that hates her gave a poo poo about until a week ago when every useless blue checkmark desided she was the line in the sand worth defending instead of health care or covid payments.

I think she's gonna get in just because they seem to really have their honor tied to it somehow and will twist Manchin's arm.

that day of the Nevada primaries, I was driving my mom back from a doctor's appointment for her bad hip, and I was telling her "y'know, after Bernie wins, maybe we could visit [my sister] in California? I haven't been stateside since '98, and we can think about getting you and dad to migrate so you can retire somewhere nice"

It's not easy at all. Admitting one new state, much less two, disrupts the power structure in DC and every single Republican and Republican-appointee will rightly see it as a direct threat to their influence and fight it to the death.

they can just tell the republicans no and stop listening to them, but since the dems don't actually want to be in control long term they don't want dc/pr
