Well said!
McCarthy just engineered passage of a bipartisan debt ceiling bill with a four-seat majority, a Dem WH & a Dem Senate. And the Dem tally of yes votes in the House is a heck of a showing for Biden as well.

Today we remember the passage of the Cullen-Harrison Act as we celebrate National Beer Day! This legislation allowed for certain beer & wine to be produced, distributed & sold to consumers. It wasn't until the ratification 7 months later that all forms of alcohol were available.

Reviews are in from Carnavoid 2023! @goodshipzoomst gets high praise “Zoomst had the greatest audience engagement of all the opening bands.” @technicolorsmooth
Earlier this month, an audience full of tye-dyed fur, alien jumpsuits, top hats, bowties and felt alligator tails came to see genre-defying bands for Carnavoid 2023. Contributor Ben Froman elaborates on the surreal setting in the link below: offbeat.com/news/carnavoid-2…

#OTD in #history, 2000, Bush was certified the winner of #Florida's electoral votes by the state SOS. #SCOTUS later stayed Florida's recount, giving Bush the #WhiteHouse. Though the result angered many, Gore's concession proved the importance of our peaceful transfer of power.
