  • So, the enhanced credits were first born during Covid, during a budget reconciliation requiring a simple majority. They expired and weren’t renewed with the Big Beautiful Bill, also during a budget reconciliation requiring a simple majority. It would take at least four republican senators, counting our eggs MS and AK. We have like no midline republicans anymore, so divergence is highly unlikely. So we will probably have to wait till the next budget reconciliation.

    Republicans really just spent two years doing nothing but tearing down what was painstakingly built in the previous administration.






  • I remember being a kid and walking to special service events where protestors were outside denouncing csa. On one hand, they didn’t factor into my decision to leave the church - you’re told they’re the devil and evidence the church is right and then you forget about them. Disruptions also made the service far more interesting. On the other hand, I would hate for the church to go uncontested. Imho this is kind of a nothingburger. Ofc on principle I vote protect the protests, but I don’t think I’d waste a lot of energy on this one.
