Members still have to work out the agency-by-agency allocations and whatever policy riders each side can stomach. David Berteau, president and CEO of the Professional Services Council, joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin to give the industry view. Interview transcript: Tom Temin: And this is really going much further than the NDAA with its Title 800 procurement reforms year after year. This is kind of a big, important bill, isn’t it, David?

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, MoveOn Political Action highlights opinion pieces from across the country highlighting the dangers of third-party candidates and encouraging voters to support Kamala Harris. The leaders lay out the risks that any vote for Jill Stein or another third-party candidate could pave the way for Donald Trump and his MAGA allies to enact their dangerous Project 2025 plan.

In November of last year, 18-year-old Chloe Cole became the first detransitioner to file a medical malpractice suit against Kaiser Permanente as well as the doctors who advised her to undergo gender transition procedures and performed them over a five-year period beginning when she was 13.

The Only Sin That Republicans Can’t Forgive

Only, Can't, Forgive, Republicans0 comment

The fall of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy today demonstrated again that the one sin that cannot be forgiven in the modern Republican Party is being seen as failing to fight the Democratic agenda by any means necessary.

He referred to the case of Douglass Mackey, who posted a satirical meme about voting by text message and is now facing up to 10 years in prison after being convicted by a New York state jury. Then he noted Kristina Wong, who similarly posted a meme about texting your vote, and yet has faced no legal consequences.  …
