The #HouseFreedomCaucus issued a series of ultimatums Monday, outlining the demands it wants met before the right-wing group’s members will support a measure to raise the U.S. #DebtCeiling and continue to fund the federal government. Among them: an end to the myriad criminal cases pending against former #President #DonaldTrump as well as ensured passage of a draconian #immigration law and an amorphous demand to end “ #woke ” policies in the U.S. #military. “

« #Fitch downgraded its #CreditRating for the U.S. government, from AAA to AA+, two months after the debt-ceiling crisis was resolved. “In Fitch’s view, there has been a steady deterioration in standards of governance over the last 20 years, including on fiscal and debt matters,” the rating agency said Tuesday. Fitch said the U.S. appeared to suffer from an “erosion of governance,” pointing to the #Washington #brinkmanship over the #DebtCeiling as an example.»

By Ariane de Vogue and Ella Nilsen, CNN
Updated 2:06 PM EDT, Thu July 27, 2023
"The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for construction of the controversial Mountain Valley Pipeline to proceed, granting an emergency request from backers of the project that has the support of Congress and the Biden administration.
"The justices agreed to lift lower court orders that froze construction of the project while legal challenges play out.
"The Supreme Court’s order is a victory for #WestVirginia Sen. #JoeManchin, a conservative Democrat who has championed the project and pushed for it during #DebtCeiling negotiations in June.
"In the brief order, the court offered no extensive reasoning and no dissents were noted.
"The order came as the White House announced new actions to combat #climate-fueled extreme heat, which has been baking cities in the Southwest for weeks before moving Northeast on Thursday.
"Despite #ClimateActivists urging the Biden administration to stop approving #FossilFuel projects like the #MountainValley Pipeline, White House officials have been supportive of the pipeline since it was first introduced in Congress last year. More recently, administration officials including White House senior adviser #JohnPodesta and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm voiced support this year for the pipeline’s approval.
"The White House did not immediately return CNN’s request for comment on the Supreme Court allowing the pipeline to proceed."

Tucked into last month's deal to raise the #DebtCeiling & avoid default was a provision Sen #JoeManchin insisted on in exchange for his support. In explicit terms, #Congress not only approved the #MountainValleyPipeline, but "#Section234" of the debt ceiling bill also took away the ability of #FederalCourts to hear any remaining challenges to it (um, what?).

the entire #DebtCeiling 'crisis' was a classical farce in 3 acts:
"the deficit equals 5.8 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023, declines to 5.0 percent by 2027, and then grows in every year, reaching 10.0 percent of GDP in 2053. Over the past century, that level has been exceeded only during World War II and the coronavirus pandemic. The increase in the total deficit results from faster growth in spending than in revenues." https://www.cbo.gov/publication/59331

I don't think it has. I hadn't noticed that the map was that old.
Here's a more recent map from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. I also noticed that they have been mandated by Congress in the #DebtCeiling legislation passed earlier this month to study better interconnection or something along those lines.
Unless Texans start voting in greater numbers they'll most likely still lose out.

If you thought the #DebtCeiling deal meant that #Congress had its act together on the #budget, House Republicans have other ideas. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/6/24/2177239/-Forget-the-debt-limit-deal-the-Senate-House-funding-bloodbath-is-about-to-begin

@hosford42 @thekitmalone But then again the #USA also needs a lot more of updates.
For example, the whole #DebtCeiling bs should be abolished as it's the legislative equivalent of forcing someone to run through a minefield at gunpoint whilst being blindfolded and handcuffed.
