Update: 217 nays, 207 yeas, 8 GOP NVs...looks like this procedural vote is going to fail

Not sure if the Speaker's vote is included in this tally, but I assume so.

ICE warns FIFA Club World Cup attendees to have their papers handy





I feel like I'm living in a Twilight Zone episode...

Call your Senator...say no to the sale of public lands.

They're trying to sell three-quarters of my state to hedge funds.
We're looking at privatized access to most of our national parks...and open-pit mines all over the West.

A quick look at some of the public lands they they want to sell.



I contacted my Senators (both Dems). They'd best vote no if they want my vote next time.

SSN payment pending...WTF

Normally my social security payment posts on the third Wednesday of the month which would have been 21 May. On Friday 23 May my bank showed a deposit from SSA pending until 28 May. So my payment will be eight days late when it posts. Anyone else seeing this?

Why did they make a late deposit that wouldn't clear for five more days?

Solid advice from a cat lady. Grammie from North Carolina (Antonia) has a message for voters.



Your vote is your business...nobody else's.


You don't have to go into the voting booth with your husband and vote the way he does, because that's private.


As a Christian, I believe we should call out lies.

RNC attendees refused service at Milwaukee Subway for anti-LGBTQ messaging

Several RNC attendees were refused service at a Milwaukee Subway when they entered the business wearing inflammatory messaging on their t-shirts. The video went viral with the author claiming they were denied service because they were Christians. Unlike the original video, this one shows the shirts they were wearing.

Ever wonder what Bannon's threat of flooding the zone with shit would look like?

Wonder no longer.

Biden rode the train to work as a Senator for decades, because he was a dedicated public servant. Trump scammed people from money and raped underage girls for decades, because 'they let you do that when you're rich.'

It seems as if the entire world is calling for Biden to drop out of the race...it is not. It's only Bannon and Putin and Guo and Thiel and Musk, et al.

The End Of The World Ain't What It Used To Be - Fallout, 1st Scene, Prime Video

Fallout is a game franchise consisting of some eleven games and spin-offs by seven different developers. The series is set in a post-apocalyptic timeline that diverged from ours some time after World War Two. The series retro-futuristic setting and art work are influenced by the post-war culture of 1950s United States.

In this divergent timeline as the fear of nuclear war increased the Vault-Tec corporation began constructing a series of underground vaults, ostensibly to guarantee survival of at least a portion of our civilization. Unfortunately the corporations that existed in this alternate future were wholly unscrupulous and devoid of morality. In actuality, the corporation built the vaults with the intention of conducting a wide ranging variety of experimentation and behavioral studies, most of them quite dark in nature.

In our new Amazon Prime series, the protagonist (Ella Purnell) is a vault-dweller. Events require the heroine to venture forth from the relative safety of the vault into the bleak, apocalyptic world above. In this carnivorous future, the naive vault-dweller is 'fresh meat' and absolutely out of their depth. She will be our guide through the wasteland and we will watch as she has to adapt to her new surroundings. She will also find her own guides during her journey. One will be Cooper Howard/The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) a former movie actor and survivor of the holocaust, now become bounty-hunter. This guy's going to steal the show.

Keep in mind that the games are extremely sarcastic and a great part of the series charm is how it parodies our society, much like Grand Theft Auto. The snark light will be on.

Series is dropping all in one batch two weeks from today.
