NEW: 2 people in Michigan have just died from Cyclosporiasis — the first deaths reported from the outbreak sweeping the nation. This after Taylor Farms gave *$2 million* to Trump & Republicans as they postponed a rule that could've limited the spread of outbreaks like the ongoing epidemic.

stripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive

Patty Murray and Chuck Schumer decide to strike a “bipartisan” deal with … checks notes … Susan Collins to fund the Trump regime through December which appears to not to any include any safeguards against Trump’s meddling with midterm elections.

Screenshots of posts from Burgess Everett on X:

“The Senate's CR deal is out from Sens. Collins and Murray. Funds government through Dec. 11

Bill blocks a new rule that would allow the admin to cancel grants to, for example, blue states 

Collins says the bill "prevents the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s proposed rule regarding federal financial assistance from taking effect"

Murray: "his bill blocks implementation of OMB’s corrupt new grants rule for the duration of the CR. The proposed rule would systematically politicize federal funding and allow Trump officials to cancel grants at any time for any reason."

“Bill also extends surface transportation programs through Dec. 11 (was set to expire Sept. 30 

Also has health care extenders 

Bottom line is this is going to kick a ton of stuff to Congress's lame duck”

Fatima Ameaka followed all the rules and she still got scooped on a domestic flight, caged, shipped to another cage, and then released with a promise of trial. The labyrinthine paperwork system is already cruel, now it's punctuated with random kidnappings.

It’s a good thing for Trump that the US doesn’t recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC. Because-unlike the US Supreme Court-those judges wouldn’t grant him sweeping immunity which would let him cover up his war crimes

The New York Times reports the U.S. dropped a 2,000-pound bomb on a family home in Iran, killing a husband, wife, and their 2-year-old son. The paper found no indication of a nearby military target.
