Mine was doing a similar thing with a blood pressure testing kit. About a month later, they sent me a check because they have to spend a certain % of premiums on health care and are required to refund extra. They just wanted to spend money so they didn't need to, and probably inflated the cost.

matt yglesias' primary claim about politics is that to win elections, democrats should adopt the strategy which has given starmer a 13% approval rating in the UK

I've given it some thought, and I think the funniest possible outcome is if they somehow decide to impeach Bill Clinton again

Editorial note for anyone writing about Epstein, there is no such thing as an "underage woman."

the key problem here is that the threshold for "publishable info" is a moving target and it moves to Trump's benefit

if RaΓΊl Grijalva had signed the discharge petition before dying then it would still count now!

a member's signature still counts even if they subsequently vacate the seat. Even if Sherril had already resigned before Grijalva was sworn in, her signature would still count

Sending in Seal Team 6 to assassinate Lauren Boebert would *not* remove her discharge petition signature.

"However, a hard majority is necessary for a discharge motion because the death or resignation of a signatory of the motion does not invalidate his signature."

imho an underappreciated benefit of Dem redistricting is that newly lame ducked blue state Republicans are much more likely to something like signing the discharge petition.

if Mace or Boebert withdraws their signature, I wouldn't be surpised to see someone like Kiley sign it

Then Massie or Khanna will give notice of intent to discharge the petition, starting the clock on Speaker Johnson to bring to the floor within two legislative days. So December 2 or 3, roughly.

Potential hiccup: a deemer in Rules that either turns off the DP before it can come to the floor, or…

DISCHARGE PETITION TICK-TOCK

Rep. Grijalva will sign the petition Wednesday after she’s sworn in and makes remarks on the floor

Her 218th signature starts the clock on the 7-legislative day wait until it can be called up, which means it would likely ripen on Tuesday Nov 25 during the pro forma

88. It’s close enough and requires less finger movement.

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.

And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?

Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

i think an especially depressing part of this whole saga is that "we need to win primaries so establishment dems are replaced by true progressives" is a thing we've done before but one of the progressives we worked hard to install over the establishment pick was fetterman
