@CoffeeAddict Ukraine funding deal in action.
Might want to filter #uspol and #harriswalz2024 if you don’t want USA political content until at least November, please call me out if I miss a tag on a non-reply post.
See pinned intro below. He/him.

@CoffeeAddict Ukraine funding deal in action.
@CoffeeAddict yeah I agree its in Dems best interest to get a deal with Johnson assuming the GOP doesn’t implode further. Ukraine Aid, allowing the Biden inquiry to end, some bipartisan border bill, a return to higher count needed to recall rule, and some sort of rest of year bipartisan budget keep the lights on bill would be great for everyone.
@CoffeeAddict with MTG throwing in another speaker recall, and the majority down to only 217 now, I wonder if we’re going to see the third Speaker fight this term.
@CoffeeAddict wow that’s huge news!
quarterly reminder that you can follow and interact with this magazine’s threads on Mastodon even though it still has yet to support group actors by following @nl_kbin_booster which simply boosts the threads.
@theinspectorst it looks great, but I’ll probably wait for the stream. Too much hassle getting to the cinema for above PG movies at this point in my life.
@theinspectorst wow good on Germany for lowering its legal immigration requirements, though sucks about the legislation for asylum seekers.
@CoffeeAddict @theinspectorst would the MAGAs actually work with her or would they treat her with the same love as they did McCarthy?
While there aren’t any specific rewards yet here, it’d be a good way to advertise this magazine there with the DT sticky, sidebar, or banner rewards and kill mosquitos at the same time!
Or if you don’t care about spreading this magazine, you can still kill some mosquitos and save some lives!

@CoffeeAddict I really hope he gets the boot next election cycle for being so anti-military. There are plenty of other republicans in Alabama that should be favorable enough on other GOP viewpoints that could primary him, or if we get really good luck, a moderate dem win?
@theinspectorst CAFE just needs to be revised to not exempt trucks and have weight/size penalties… Compact cars can tow a decent amount now, work vans are better for many trades, and there are existing ag programs and zoning statuses that can ID farmers if we want to throw them a bone.
@CoffeeAddict sounds like we’re getting closer and closer to the “soft landing” becoming reality after all.
@CoffeeAddict any early polls on how this is being perceived by voters?
@CoffeeAddict that being said, I think Israel being a mess will make mil spend increase bill more likely to pass than when it was mostly for Ukraine.
@CoffeeAddict all I’m sure of is that congress is going to continue being a mess through the next funding bill date. My money is (unfortunately for the lives this will directly put in danger) on another CR without Ukraine or Israel funding unless we can get a deal to add both.
Monthly reminder: while viewing in KBin will give the best experience, you can also interact with this Kbin Magazine in Lemmy, Mastodon, and other Fediverse applications too.
If the app you use doesn’t support ActivtyPub groups, following the magazine will only subscribe you to the Kbin’s microblogging section. If you want to follow the thread posts, you can get access to them by following the @nl_kbin_booster bot.
@theinspectorst what an despicable person. Hopefully the br’ts can recall him or throw a huge protest over this.
@Reshirams_Rad_Slam @nostupidquestions this would be possible if someone made a platform that implemented the same APIs for both mastodon and lemmy, but would fail if there was a platform they didn’t implement say Loops and you tried to log into their app. A few fedi microblogging platforms like Plemora already implement Mastodon’s api to allow using the Masto apps with their instances for free.
Federated identity is something being worked on, but will be likely be seperate to AP itself.
