  1. What depressed me, I think, was that #McGovern was the only alternative available this time around, and I was sorry I couldn’t get up for it. I agreed with everything he said, but I wished he would say a lot more—or maybe something different. Ideas? Specifics? Programs? Etc.? Well

    in the immigration prisons they’re being held in and to demand their release.

    The group of lawmakers, led by Rep. Troy #Carter (Louisiana), is the first from Congress to visit either Khalil or Öztürk since they were abducted by immigration agents last month and flown from their homes in New York and Massachusetts, respectively, to Louisiana.

    The group also included Sen. Ed ##Markey (Massachusetts) and Representatives Jim #McGovern (Massachusetts), Ayanna #Pressley (Massachusetts), and Bennie #Thompson (Mississippi).

  13. YES.
    Although, basing a vote on someone because they said they'd lower egg prices is beyond dumb.
    But, we're dealing with MAGA's..

  16. Lawmakers begin efforts to move around Johnson, force vote on Ukraine aid

    Pressure is mounting for Speaker Mike #Johnson (R-La.) to address aiding foreign allies as House Democrats and Republicans tee up opposing measures that would supersede House GOP leadership and trigger votes on bills funding #Ukraine, #Israel, #Taiwan, and the U.S. #border.

    Democrats and a separate bipartisan group of lawmakers on Tuesday began gathering signatures for competing #discharge #petitions, a mechanism that moves legislation out of committees and forces a House floor vote without support from leadership if it has the backing of 218 lawmakers.
    
The #Democratic #measure, led by Rep. Jim #McGovern (D-Mass.) had amassed nearly 180 signatures from the caucus as of Wednesday afternoon and would advance a national security package the Senate overwhelmingly approved over a month ago that allots🔸 $95.3 billion 🔸to assist foreign democracies.
    Democratic leaders believe that the large number of signatures compiled in less than 24 hours shows that Democrats would provide significant votes for Ukraine funding if Johnson were to put it on the floor.

    The launch of McGovern’s effort motivated a #bipartisan group of House members
    — Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), Don Bacon (R-Neb.), Jared Golden (D-Maine) and Ed Case (D-Hawaii)
    — to formally introduce their own petition Tuesday.

    The bipartisan petition extends funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan for one year.

    But unlike the Democratic petition, it also extends Trump-era border security measures used to mitigate the flow of migrants at the U.S. southern border, which are critical to earning House Republicans’ support.

    Though fewer than 15 lawmakers had signed on to the bipartisan measure as of Wednesday afternoon, the group continues to negotiate with party leaders and colleagues as it works to finalize legislative text with policies a majority of both parties could accept.

  17. @dajbelshaw interesting journey!

    What comes to my mind when comparing #5G with 4G: 5G has (by design) lower range and higher electricity consumption.

    Interesting is also the difference between classic copper #boradband and full fibre connection. The later is not only faster but also has a better #co2 footprint.

    So, your friend did a good catch with the full fibre connection.
