it feels like everything is designed to funnel money into antidepressant distributors these days

They're getting their return on investment after buying "our" politicians here in the States.

Holy shit, it doesn't feel like that was eight years ago.

No, Marjorie Taylor Greene is Nancy Mace's equal -- same mean-spirited, attention-whoring mindset.

I half-expected this to be in the Deep South, not a so-called "blue state".

Unfortunately, almost half of Minnesota's voters supported Trump, which kind of puts things in perspective.

Pathetic, and frankly her going along with it is not much better.

Agreed, but she is a politician, and that's what politicians often do.

The resolution, which would prohibit members, officers and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities that correspond to their gender identity, comes just a week after Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.) made history as the first openly transgender person elected to Congress.

If this bill passes, McBride should start relieving herself on Mace's desk.

Had the DNC not sabotaged Bernie Sanders' campaign in 2016, he may very well have been winding down his second term right now.

But, as always, the big money had to ruin it.

"When you elect a president of one party, often, states of the party that oppose that president have enormous ability to try to block or push back on directions that the president might want to go, especially if Congress can't function or pass legislation," said Barry Rabe, a public policy professor at the University of Michigan's Ford School and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

 

The special session responds to the public statements and proposals put forward by President-elect Trump and his advisors, and actions taken during his first term in office — an agenda that could erode essential freedoms and individual rights, including women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights. A special session allows for expedited action that will best protect California and its values from attacks. The special session will begin December 2, when the Legislature convenes.
