Or they're getting bribed and care more about that, or care more about the hate than anything else

Fed to alligators actually

Meanwhile, the plan is to feed everyone who isnt white enough to alligators.

The fact that a LOT of people are doing this seems to be affecting at least some Republicans.. It only takes flipping a few votes to kill this bill.

For most US citizens, losing citizenship means being stateless. Nobody will advocate for us when we're in CECOT

Don't hope...call your congress critter

This bill is closed and likely to see a final vote within a couple hours

Yes, but the city officials had their boss replaced by state with one who had a mandate to cut spending. Wikipedia does a better job of getting that part right:

In April 2014, during a financial crisis, state-appointed emergency manager Darnell Earley changed Flint's water source from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (sourced from Lake Huron and the Detroit River) to the Flint River.[7] Residents complained about the taste, smell, and appearance of the water. Officials failed to apply corrosion inhibitors to the water, which resulted in lead from aging pipes leaching into the water supply, exposing around 100,000 residents to elevated lead levels.

The problem started in 2014, when a state-appointed administrator took over and stopped measures which had been used to limit corrosion, sharply increasing peoples' exposure to lead from the old pipes.

Be nice if she had made the flip before voting for the bill instead of after

Only enough to get 3 out of 53 Republican Senators to vote against it. That's a few percent. Not enough to stop it, which is what matters

They never really cared about that. The modern anti-abortion movement was dreamed up after pro-segregation churches lost that battle and needed something else to fixate on.

They're not doing anything like dismantling the telescopes; just stopping a tiny instrument that is mounted near them from being used.

The idea is to force people to pay for private forecasts

Im taking this down because its misinfo.

If this bill passes in its current form, yes

Because most of it would show up as having been written by corporate lobbyists

They are trying change things, but there's a good chance basic stuff like measuring CO2 concentrations would continue normally with a nonzero budget

The Republicans are pretty uniformly in favor of that part.

They had a corps of competent people with civil service protections who were getting paid out of that budget. They avoided committing fraud during the first Trump administration
