I also love America and believe in its stated values. And I understand that this pronouncement lands very differently when it comes from an organization that has intentionally been overhauled in order to curry favor with a jingoistic proto-fascist who says his opponents hate the country.

Some Dems are gonna be very weary of pursuing something like this in an election year when they currently have the GOP in a bind and forced to deal with health care, their single worst policy issue. I would even anticipate some House Dems sit out a privileged impeachment table vote.

I might do this on occasion, sharing with readers details they might not know about modern reporting. Most if not all Hill reporters use AI for fast transcription but I've stopped, because it can place a barrier on how you understand what you've just been told.

Last week I wrote about why this is in the "make up a dumb new idea to generate free PR" category of legislation. The enforcement is nonsensical. You don't renounce citizenship to the US govt, you do it to the govt of which you hold that 2nd citizenship, the US has no database of dual citizens, etc.

Keep seeing people say Avatar has no cultural impact and that no one ever quotes any dialogue from it. It's false. I quote Avatar literally every time I play golf. "I love this putter Ronnie! I love this putter" when I make my one good putt.
