What is up with that headline? Democrats may give??? Repubs got a trifecta and they have the supreme court. Democrats have little say in the matter.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You know that this term isn't over yet? Congress can still pass laws- well, for the like one or two more weeks they work this year before taking off for Thanksgiving and like three weeks for Christmas, anyway.
You know Republicans have the house, right?
That’s the point. Many Senators are taking their holiday leave early in defeat. Republicans could potentially begin legislating now if they have majority.
Under the bill, the Treasury secretary would issue notice to a group of intent to designate it as a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Once notified, an organization would have the right to appeal within ninety days, after which it would be stripped of its 501(c)(3) status, named for the statute that confers tax exemptions on recognized nonprofit groups.
The law would not require officials to explain the reason for designating a group, nor does it require the Treasury Department to provide evidence.
"Your appeal is denied without comment."
So churches will have to pay taxes now? Fuck yeah!!!
Biden should go full dictator, eliminate elected leadership, purge the Supreme court and suppress uprisings. Trump is already planning to do this, and a civil war is already coming might as well peel the bandaid off now and do it on our terms.
All Biden needs to do is declare the 2024 election invalid on the grounds that trump as a convicted felon is not eligible to be President (because he fucking isn’t) and call it an official act.
It’ll be just as legal as anything else Trump is planning to do starting January.
And replace Supreme court justices, and call it an official act too.
Yep. Absolute immunity.
Something tells me that NONE of the actual terrorist supporters - which are entirely on the right wing by the way - will get messed with in any way, whatsoever.
Nonprofits, believe it or not, include many hospitals. It’s a tax loophole for corporate. They get the money back as bonuses.
I think he’ll leave corporate America be on this.
This is so ignorant and naive. Totalitarian means total control. Previous laws and regulations are moot.
Then maybe get that surgery you’ve been putting off NOW. Before January.
I’m listing each medical institution I’ve worked with and associated with in the back of my brain and the only locations that come to mind as not non-profit are university hospitals. Most hospitals work the non profit angle. I encourage you to Google your 3 closest hospital systems and see what you come up with regarding non profit status.
The university hospital issue strikes me as something we should all be considering right now, the contribution of university hospitals in practical hands on research via the educational half of their institutions. Many an experimental or top line not available elsewhere medical treatment is found at a university hospital. The other piece of university hospitals is they are magnets for degreed talent, including doctors, mid-levels, and nurses.
If anything, I see him leveraging on it, like using section 230 to make YouTube not moderate anything.
Lol like most people have any choice about when to have a surgery
Depends. Knee replacement is one where you typically decide when, and it can be life changing. Gastric bypass. Shoulder replacement. Maybe that lumbar discectomy to potentially solve back pain. Movement altering lipoma removal.
My experience has gone from "everything can be done in a few weeks or some months" to 1.5+year waiting lists over the last decade and what I was getting at.
Fair enough.
