Senate GOP sellouts!

Thune "Willing To Give Democrats All The Things They Want" As Friday Shutdown Vote Looms

The Senate will vote for a 15th time today on a short-term funding bill to reopen the government - with a growing number of Republicans indicating that they're open to caving over Affordable Care Act enhanced subsidies.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) is offering Democrats post-shutdown votes on ACA and tax credits in an attempt to win Democratic support and end the standoff, which is now in its 37th day. "I'm willing to give Democrats all the things they want," Thune said Friday.

The comments come after Democratic support for a deal to reopen the government has failed over such promises - with Senate dems rejecting a Thursday proposal to pass a continuing resolution to three full-year appropriations bills that would fund military construction, veterans' affairs, the Department of Agriculture and the legislative branch.

Democratic senators discussed the proposal at a party luncheon and concluded that it didn't provide strong enough assurances that Trump and the GOP-controlled house would renew the pandemic-era (short term) ACA subsidies set to expire in January.

Thune needs at least eight Democrats to cross the aisle in order to reopen the government - and is five short of what he needs.

Senator Rand Paul OBJECTS TWICE to Senator John Kennedy’s Proposal to STOP Congressional Pay During Schumer Shutdown

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) objected twice to Senator John Kennedy’s (R-LA) proposals that would have blocked members of Congress from receiving pay during the ongoing government shutdown, legislation Kennedy says is necessary to make lawmakers feel the same pain as the Americans affected by Washington’s dysfunction.

Kennedy introduced his “No Shutdown Paychecks to Politicians Act”, calling for an immediate halt to congressional pay during the shutdown and the elimination of back pay once government funding is restored.

Kennedy argued that his proposal is both simple and fair, emphasizing that federal employees like air traffic controllers, military service members, and staffers are already suffering without pay. His bill, he said, would ensure lawmakers are not shielded from the same financial consequences.

Kennedy asked for unanimous consent to immediately pass his bill, but Rand Paul was quick to object.

Around the World, People Are Pleading With Elon Musk To Send His Space X and Rescue the Chinese Astronauts Stranded in Space

Musk for the rescue, again?

Space is the one realm where the Earthly conflicts become meaningless, and everyone is just filled with fraternal love for the heroes braving the ‘final frontier’.

Here on TGP, we are following the saga of the three Chinese astronauts – or rather, Taikonauts – who are temporarily stranded in space aboard the Tiangong space station.

And, whatever out personal opinions about Communist China, we are all rooting for their safe return.

The Chinese incident has made people remember NASA’s Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were stranded aboard the International Space Station (ISS) last year after the Boeing Starliner capsule malfunctioned.

“Musk’s SpaceX was credited with carrying out the rescue, and many online now believe the billionaire’s rocket company may once again be humanity’s best hope.

‘Send Elon,’ one user posted on X. Another wrote, ‘When you’re stuck in space, who you gonna call? Elon Musk and SpaceX’.”
