Probably pretty relieved about that now, considering the supersized venomous ginormobugs they got there, huh?

At 17, Hannah Cairo Solved a Major Math Mystery | Quanta Magazine After finding the homeschooling life confining, the teen petitioned her way into a graduate class at Berkeley, where she ended up disproving a 40-year-old conjecture.

Delightful story about a 17-year-old homeschooler who disproved the 40-year-old Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture. She decided to apply straight to graduate school, skipping the rest of high school and college. When she finishes, a PhD will be her first degree.

I’d frankly be disappointed if it wasn’t all of these things AND that one of your countrymen also had one as a pet. With a proper name like Fluffy. Because Australia.

Absolutely not. Please undiscover this promptly and then go sit in a corner and think about what you did.

What if we just let them guard each other and we sit outside from a safe distance with a really mean dog and a flame thrower?

Who’s to say they will ever have to face those voters again? 18 months is a long time from now…

It would still be part of the same legislative day. Magic Minute and all…

The didn’t do a deemer because it would have been sooooo nuclear.

And yet here we are. Over recissions.

But more about the Massie DP.

18.07.2025 02:20 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

That’s what this is about. Pass recissions package without having to push into being in session on Friday - hence the β€œDemon Pass”- and get out of town for recess before Massie can move forward on forcing a vote on Epstein files.

Still think this is all much ado about nothing?

Also…this is about the calendar.

Rep. Massie advised a discharge petition that would force DOJ to release Epstein files. It β€œripens” 7 legislative days after it’s filed. If the House is in session tomorrow, it would ripen on 7/24. If they’re out tomorrow, it doesn’t ripen until after August recess

OK this is something. Stick with me here. The way this is constructed, if the Rule passes, the recissions bill passes. It’s not part of an underlying bill. It’s deeming itself without ever being debated.

I’ve seen plenty of deemers tucked into other bills. But not their own bill. This is WEIRD.

18.07.2025 02:19 β€” πŸ‘ 40    πŸ” 18    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 2

The House is coming to the floor and debate the Rule that just cleared Rules committee…and if the Rule passes a floor vote, it will automatically deem the Senate recissions bill passed.

No debate. No nothing. Just a deemer attached to a Rule.

It clears that vote, CPB and PBS are defunded.
