[55] Congress was forced to remove both of the opposed elements of the bill and include funding of the Nicaraguan Contras as a compromise to end the shutdown.[53] Economists believed that the short period cost taxpayers an estimated $65 million in back pay.[38]

after Reagan mounted opposition towards the inclusion of a water projects package and a civil rights measure within the proposed appropriations bill that day. The shutdown covered around nine of the 13 appropriations bills that had not been passed at that point.

Was this Jay from back in the day? Always digging in on synths and drum machines?

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

Please start looking at and reporting on ‘measles immune amnesia’. Measles is one of the few infectious diseases that also infects and coopts immune memory cells that know how to fight other diseases. Lots of research on measles wiping these out, and resetting the immune system to a ‘newborn’ state.

There’s a little spigot that transfers to a select group of investment banks, sovereign funds, hedge funds, private equity & now crypto accounts.

Call your senators and let them know if they join Schumer here you will never give them another dime or another vote and you’ll devote your time and money to anyone who primaries them.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.
