  1. Congress is broken — and the proof is in the timestamps. Senators are routinely voting past 3 a.m., half-asleep, on issues that affect millions of Americans. Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer calls it flatly: "The dysfunction is getting worse." In March, the Senate passed a DHS funding bill at 2 a.m. — only for House members who were literally asleep to wake up and reject it. The department remains unfunded. Leaders are governing by exhaustion, forcing votes in the dead of night to override objections. This isn't democracy — it's survival mode. apnews.com/article/congress-ho

  2. #Today I'm getting my act together in the studio, to produce a cover version of a favourite song for my dear love to sing to, in a couple of weeks time at a local show.

    There will be no #procrastination, #impostorSyndrome, #selfDoubt or anything remotely #neurodiverse getting in the way, for I have spoken!

    Please cheer this frustrated musician along a bit; so much to offer, so long held back by #executive #dysfunction

    May nothing get in your way either 🫶 🧠 🎵

  3. In Gorsuch’s Homage to #Legislative #Power, a Subtle Reproach of a Neutered #Congress

    In his concurrence to the ruling invalidating #Trump’s #tariffs, Justice Neil M. #Gorsuch made a forceful case for the sanctity of the legislative process — & an implicit critique of its current #dysfunction.

  8. #webIndustry & #AI by @baldur

    "Even the #paidjobs when they happen have much lower budgets and are employing fewer people.
    This #dysfunction means that the “adjacent but still in the industry” jobs that used to pay for the #passionprojects are fewer and farther between. More and more people have to rely on unrelated day jobs (or spouses) to stay in the industry and the cold hard truth is that most of them will burn out and leave eventually."

  9. #Catiline Was Wicked

    The Catilinarian Conspiracy of 63 BCE was a symptom of #dysfunction in the late #Roman Republic. It foreshadowed the rise of Roman imperialism.

    Instability & Corruption

    The conspiracy emerged in a climate of intense rivalry and public corruption that was dominating the political atmosphere of the late #Republic.

  10. PRODUCTHEAD: This too shall pass

    » A pursuit of job stability can easily translate into an unproductive ‘inertia’ instead

    » Self-sealing arguments are no-win situations: every defence you make is co-opted the by other party as evidence you’re wrong

  11. Infiltrating #monocytes drive #cardiac #dysfunction in a #cardiomyocyte-restricted mouse model of #SARS-CoV-2 infection, J Virol.: journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1

    These findings establish a mouse #model of SARS-CoV-2 cardiomyocyte infection that recapitulates features of cardiac dysfunctions of COVID-19 and suggests that both viral replication and resultant innate immune responses contribute to cardiac pathology.

  12. The #Constitution means whatever the #JohnRoberts court says it means, even when that meaning conflicts w/the basic principles of American #democracy.

    It is against this backdrop of institutional #dysfunction & #judicial arrogance that President #Biden, fresh from his decision to leave the campaign trail in favor of his vice president, introduced his three-point package of #SupremeCourt reforms.

  13. The bill that cleared the #House sets up a clash — & likely a prolonged negotiation — w/the Democratic-controlled #Senate as the 2 chambers work to reconcile & merge their separate versions of the #legislation in the months ahead. Earlier Fri, the Senate #ArmedServices Cmte released its version of the #NDAA totaling $923.3B.
    
This is exactly what happened last year, a fact many Democrats lamented angrily on the House floor this week.

  14. I am interested to see the replies to this question:

    Why do you think some people have children but no grandchildren? Not even one. Especially In circumstances where there aren’t many boundaries to parenthood and multiple siblings?

    I made a conscious to not have any kids because of health issues and I wanted to end the inter-generation trauma once and for all.

    My siblings didn’t have kids but wanted them. They’re in their mid 50s now so it is highly unlikely to happen now. It’s almost like they subconsciously sabotaged every opportunity. They’re Gen X so it was still affordable to do the marriage and kids thing, and very much expected.

    It’s like evolution came along and stopped history repeating.

    Some people have many generations of #trauma/ #dysfunction and keep on reproducing. In most cases I’ve observed, nothing changes for the better. Why us and not them?

    Would be interested to hear your thoughts. Please be kind. I’m currently stuck with said parents and can’t get out thanks to lack of government services and help.

    My father is a #narcissist with #psychopathic tendencies (diagnosed by 2 professionals) while my mother stated off is a victim of his crap but eventually became a partner in crime. She at least has some #empathy but they are pretty miserable people. They of course have no idea why this has happened.

    Side note: If you are able to offer #housing or #advocacy to help a very ill person get out of here and finally allow me to move forward in life, I would be more than grateful ( I have been looking for an #advocate and and some where to live for soo long sooo long (I mean years) but no luck.They keep kicking me back & the only way is out.
    A lot of my health problems would be helped by not being in such an awful environment.

    P.S. This my second attempt at this post so I likely left things out. (Masto chewed it up 😔) Hope it makes sense.

    Also not be able to reply to everyone because running on very limited energy. Interested in your opinions though and am reading.

  25. Even in the #Senate, where Min Ldr #MitchMcConnell is a forceful advocate for #Ukraine #aid, some #Republicans are demanding additional $$ for #border #security in exchange for greenlighting Ukraine aid. (using human lives & #democracies as #transactional chits in #CultureWar #politics)

    “The reality is these issues are all connected, & …urgent. Our adversaries are cheering for #dysfunction. So let’s instead show them #unity,” Sen #Appropriations Cmte Chair #PattyMurray (D-WA) told lawmakers.

  26. here’s their 4th choice:

    Rep #MikeJohnson (R-LA) was “elected” the #Republican #speaker nominee Tues in an internal vote by the #GOP conference.

    Johnson is an attorney & former talk radio host who has served in the #House since 2017 & is the vice chair of the #HouseRepublican conference.

  31. Though one more #Republican was present to vote for him Wed, #JimJordan only flipped 2 of his 20 colleagues who opposed him on Tues. What’s worse is that in the past 24hrs, Jordan LOST support from 4 #Republicans, many of whom are pragmatic lawmakers focused on #governing & allies of #SteveScalise. Reps Mariannette Miller-Meeks & Vern Buchanan had both indicated previously that they would support #Jordan for at least 2 round of voting before flipping as they did today.

    #GymJordan #dysfunction

  32. A total of 20 #Republicans voted against #JimJordan on the first vote for #speaker, the exact same number who opposed #McCarthy on his first of 15 ballots. But it’s a very different group of 20 lawmakers, & it remains to be seen what Jordan can do to win them over.
