  2. #House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries is using the so-called "magic minute" to speak for as long as he wants during debate.

    Also called the "leadership minute", it is a long-standing custom in the House that permits party leaders extended debate time on the floor.

    The record for the "magic minute" is >8 hours set by then #Republican Min Ldr #KevinMcCarthy in 2021 when he gave a circuitous speech against Biden's $1.75T bill.

    McCarthy broke Democratic congresswoman #NancyPelosi’s 2018 record.

  4. Deficit-minded #Republicans rejected the stopgap spending bill out of hand, since many of them will back only regular full-year appropriations measures.

    And #HouseRepublicans’ personal rivalries surfaced again in a callback to the #funding debacle that a year ago ousted #MikeJohnson’s predecessor, #KevinMcCarthy, from the speakership.

  5. Very awkward moment- Congressman Matt Gaetz tries to interrupt former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s interviews, taunting him “Hey Kevin, what night are you speaking?” via Joe Kahlil #rnc #rnc2024 #mattgaetz #kevinmccarthy #RNCinDisarray #gop #maga what amess .

  6. The #GOP quest to hold #Garland in #contempt of #Congress for refusing to respond to a #subpoena was not dampened by any sense of irony, even though the #Judiciary Cmte is chaired by Rep #GymJordan. Jordan famously refused to comply w/requests from the House cmte investigating the #Jan6 #insurrection, alongside Reps #ScottPerry, #KevinMcCarthy, #AndyBiggs, & #MoBrooks.

  7. #Fukushima #Nuclear Power Plant starts 3rd round of #wastewater release, potentially impacting #seafood quality in U.S.

    By Belle Lewis - November 14, 2023

    "The #FukushimaDachii nuclear plant started its third release of nuclear wastewater on Nov. 2 as scientists warn that seafood products from the #PacificOcean could be #contaminated

    "Although the International Atomic Energy Agency approved the 30-year water release plan, scientists and civilians in nations bordering the Pacific Ocean have questioned the safety of the plan, especially as it relates to seafood.

    "In a press release approving of the plan, the IAEA stated, 'the discharges of the treated water would have a negligible radiological impact to people and the environment.'

    "#PaulDorfman, member of the Irish Government Environmental Protection Agency Radiation Protection Advisory Committee and chair of Nuclear Consulting Group, explained that some scientists have questioned IAEA’s approval of the water release.

    "'I and others are concerned by IAEA’s attitude,' Dorfman said. 'Normally even low levels of radioactive pollution will find its way into local seafood, one way or another.'

    "In 2020, #Japan exported 332,926 kilograms of frozen scallops to the U.S. Japan exports many fish products to the U.S.

    "Samantha Valeriano, a psychology student from Hawaii, said she eats seafood about once a week. She does not often think about where her food comes from but wants to be more cautious following the nuclear water release.

    "'I think I would be a little more cautious of what I ate, checking labels a little bit more,' Valeriano said. 'I would be conscious of what I ate and where it came from.'

    "As the People’s Republic of #China has imposed bans of Japanese fish exports, the #USA has supported the Japanese market by increasing fish purchases.

    "In a press release, the #UnitedStates Embassy and Consulate in Japan explained that military bases in Japan will carry Japanese seafood as a way to buoy up seafood markets and undermine the PRC’s ban.

    "'United States elected representatives and senior government officials have stood in solidarity with Japan during this baseless ban,' the statement said. 'Another step to help provide additional sales to counter the ban was to start selling Japanese seafood at the U.S. military facilities in Japan, both through the commissaries and mess halls.'

    "According to the statement, government officials like former speaker #KevinMcCarthy ate seafood from Japan as a testament to Japan’s safety standards.
    However, other U.S. agencies, like the National Association of #MarineLaboratories question whether accurate research was conducted by the IAEA and Japanese Government to determine safety of seafood products.

    "They explain that the lack of data on potential health impacts is a cause for serious concern.

    "'Many of the #radionuclides contained in the #accumulated waste cooling water have half-lives ranging from #decades to #centuries, and their deleterious effects range from #DNADamage and #cellular stress to elevated #cancer risks in people who eat affected marine organisms, such as #clams, #oysters, #crabs, #lobster, #shrimp and fish,' the statement reads. [Not to mention all the critters that feed off them! Bioaccumulation works up the food chain!]

    "Eve Nagareda, medical laboratory science major from Hawaii, shared she wants to avoid seafood from dumping grounds even if levels are considered safe.

    "'I think I would try to go as far as possible from it,' Nagareda said.

    "Kylee Wasano, pre-communications disorders student from Oahu, agreed. She explained she feels that she might already be consuming contaminated seafood.

    "'I feel like I already am eating that, and I just don’t know,' Wasano said. 'Anything that could expose you to (radiation) you should be considerate about.'

    "As organizations weigh safety concerns, scientists turn to the water release process to determine potential effects."

  9. Instead of solving the debt ceiling impasse, #House #GOP auctions off used lip balm for $100k

    Amid sputtering #DebtCeiling negotiations & dire warnings of an unprecedented #default, House #Republicans spent time holding a fundraising auction in which lawmakers bid for a tube of #LipBalm supposedly used by House speaker #KevinMcCarthy
    #MarjorieTaylorGreene ultimately won w/a bid of $100k

  11. 🧵 4/6
    4th, #Republicans want to cut #GovernmentSpending on #SocialWelfare prgms incl #SocialSecurity, #Medicare/#Medicaid, #SNAP/#FoodStamps, & COVID relief. It's #ClassWarfare blaming poor for #nationaldebt. Yes #SocialServices is a fair % of the budget, but so is the military & they arent cutting that. Besides for every $1 the gov puts into SNAP we get about $1.79 in economic activity. It's true for other #PublicAssistance prgms like #TANF, #Section8 & others.

  12. It took 6 months for us to get our tax refund this year.

    Kevin McCarthy: "I know the night is late, but when we come back, our very first bill will repeal the funding for 87,000 new IRS agents."

    Great work, thanks Kevin. The 87,000 IRS agents is a nonsense talking point, anyway. See article. But still.
