If the new House bagel caucus and bourbon caucus were to get the key players into a room full of bagels and bourbon, I honestly think we’d get a debt ceiling deal and end all this within three hours

get you a reporter like

Republican State of the Union rebuttals differed in more than just language

Republican rebuttals to President Biden's speech were not only given in different languages but touched on different GOP priorities and addressed varied concerns to each separate audience.

Sanders was once upon a been in the running to be Labor Secretary but Biden opted against the nomination because at the time the Senate was evenly split 50-50.

ICYMI:

is reportedly stepping down from his post. Asked

@SenSanders

who he thinks should be tapped in and he thinks Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants or former Sec Bob Reich. Asked if he wants it: “no, I like my own job very much.”

DEBT CEILING:

call on Biden to add new work requirements to food stamp program as part of debt ceiling talks (note Farm Bill up for renewal this year)

anyway, if i’m not walking proof that you don’t have to go to a name brand school to be a good journalist, idk what is

So many journalists went to a nice school that i think some are genuinely shocked when they find out i went to a CSU. more than that, i was one of not even that many kids who went to college from my HS graduating class

has new proposals for school nutrition standards. These are the rules on what can/can’t be served to students for meals. Tho the goal is reducing diet-related diseases, some say schools can’t meet the current standards because of pandemic pressures

The USDA wants to limit added sugars and sodium in school meals

The new standards, if implemented, would limit added sugars and sodium and emphasize whole-grain and domestically-produced products.

The once-every-five year farm bill is a hodgepodge of policies crucial for many sectors of the economy. But a very short timeline and infighting among House Republicans are raising questions over the feasibility of passing a large measure in time.

Overall, Florida has now spent nearly $40,000 to relocate each migrant from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard. To put this into perspective, if I was a San Antonian and wanted to make the trip on Valentine’s Day, it’d only cost $328.
