NEWS: House Budget Committee votes 17-16 to advance the big Trump agenda bill. The four Republican hardliners who blocked it by voting "NO" on Friday fold — and vote "PRESENT." One of them, Ralph Norman, said there have been "changes" but wouldn't say what they are.

We can multitask, thank you.

I'm not going to hold my breath that this thing ends up failing but there's still a ways to go on this and it's still not a sure thing. Senate will have something to say, for one.

What made it shocking was that this was meant to be an easy part. The fact they stumbled over this, shows just how in trouble the bill is

I mean, cancer matters (always) and i do feel for him and his family, but yeah, lots of other shit to focus on.

Hard agree. I got so mad I went on all the major news sites and made a point of clicking on the only actually important articles.

But I wanted to hear more from DIYoncologists

you could drop half of politico's staff and most of axios' staff off a bridge and the biggest and most important problem we'd have to deal with is tracking their bodies downriver. you shouldn't do this, you should just stop reading them for anything other than filth.

You could drop half of politico’s staff and most of axios’s off a bridge and it would probably improve political reporting.

Why it matters:

* we’re sliding into authoritarianism and they’re still bleating about asinine bullshit.

* it would probably improve the water quality in rock creek park

They are fucking ghouls. They would better serve humanity as Soylent green.

I don't know about you but I'd rather not let those waste of space in my body

At least half of the staff at The Hill, too.

listen, i'm not a politics reporter, which means i am obligated to care about the outcomes of what this congress does, and, i don't know, maybe you should care about it, too, unless your job specifically incentivizes you to amplify useless trivial horseshit in a way that obscures real stories
