President Biden vowed on Monday to veto a House Republican bill that would provide $17.6 billion in aid to Israel, calling it a “cynical political maneuver” intended to hurt the chances of passage for broader legislation that would provide money for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and the U.S. border.

House Republicans fiercely oppose the larger bill, which was unveiled by a small, bipartisan group of senators over the weekend. It calls for $118.3 billion in spending and would overhaul some of the nation’s immigration laws to deal with recent surges of migrants at the southern border.

    Brother, you caught a real one.

    I am very confused.

    I try to live my life mathematically. I cite sources that claim firm numbers frequently.

    We are in a fucky time.

    Everyone has the ability to capture unimpeachable figures, but everyone with a grasp on the raw data has a dude an inch over their shoulder saying “100 bucks if you fudge it.”

    We got strong in tech and the first thing we did as a digital world was fire the QA people and the auditors.

    Seems like a great way to faceplant the gift of computers.

    But what can you do?
