#Conservatives are typically loath to sign off on any #government spending patch aimed at averting a #shutdown, slamming those stopgaps as further evidence of a broken Washington [as they cause the breakage] stuck on a woeful fiscal trajectory.
After gleefully rejecting 4 continuing resolutions in recent months as funding talks wobbled, members on Speaker #MikeJohnson’s #RightWing flank now say #Congress needs one that lasts into next year after federal cash dries up at the end of Sept.
Their hope is that the Nov #election finally grants #GOP hardliners the necessary #leverage (read: extra votes) to enact steep spending cuts & #conservative policies across a slate of fiscal 2025 spending bills.
A Pivot to #China Saved #ElonMusk. It Also Binds Him to Beijing.
#Tesla & China built a symbiotic relationship, with credits, workers & parts that made #Musk ultrarich. Now, his reliance on the country may give Beijing #leverage.
Eliot in the kitchen in season 5 is one of my favorite scenes in the entire show. Christian Kane really sells the passion his character has for cooking, and I love it.
Parker: "So all those times I pushed Hardison off a building and he was like 'AHHH', he wasn't just being funny?"
Eliot: "I thought it was funny, Parker."
I'm the worst person to watch something with if I've already seen it. My poorly contained excitement at seeing a character is a dead giveaway that they're important and/or gonna die.
Hello kind.social folks, time to jump on the #introduction thing. I'm a robotics engineer in Massachusetts, been in the industry for six-ish years.
Been playing lots of #arkhamhorror and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes board games and TTRPGs. Been into #40k for the last fifteen years, trying to now get into #KillTeam, #boltaction and #gunpla
Just finished #gwitch and looking forward to the next season of #anime, open to recommendations. Started #leverage and out of lettersnow
Hi and welcome to all the new people!! I'll re-introduce myself - I'm Spider (they/them). I love #fandom - I don't create fanworks myself, but I try to leave positive comments whenever I can!
My main fandoms are #Pokemon, #Murderbot, #TAZ, and #Leverage. I'm also casually into a bunch of other fandoms - danmei, SPN, Black Butler, OFMD, Doctor Who, definitely some more I'm forgetting. And I'm hoping to re-start reading #ORV soon - I've really liked it so far! (I'm about halfway through.)
#ThiefJuice (#leverage, parker/hardison/eliot. My first #polyship) #Steter and #Hannigram (#TeenWolf and #Hannibal ; I like when the manipulative one finds someone just as clever who turns the tables.) #CodyWan (#StarWars#CloneWars gives so many options for weird identity and power dynamics stuff!)
... Orochimaru/Sakumo, maybe? I like seeing what people spin out of unexplored characters.
