CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Correct. It was a CR. Removing the Pharmarcy provision removed over 1,000 pages from the CR.
Thak you Elon.

My bad. I must have been thinking of another article that I read on the subject, which mentioned the cutting pork projects like renovating a stadium in DC.

Except that wasn't in the bill anyway. There was a provision shifting administrative control of the stadium and some surrounding property to the DC government, but there was no money attached to it for renovations. It was something Elon lied about.

Maybe they believed the lie that Elon spread. Here's the relevant language from the bill itself.the renovation and relinquishment of Robert F. Kennedy Stadium to city officials in Washington, DC.

The language in that section is confusing. They often write them that way on purpose.
Maybe Newsweek is confused too.
In the early morning hours of Saturday, the RFK Stadium Bill was quietly passed by the senate. This bill will lead to the renovation of RFK Stadium, which can be come the new home of the Commanders following their lease ending in 2027.

Reading the bill, I think I understand where the confusion is coming from. It allows for the stadium to be renovated, which requires federal permission since the federal government owns it, but doesn't allocate any money to it.The language in that section is confusing.

It continues to lubricate the skim of public funds for corporate profit. Just a small preview of things to come.

Do we really have such low hopes for the incoming administration that keeping the government from shutting down is a "triumph"? Isn't that pretty much the baseline for what we should expect rather than something to celebrate?

Also, it is weird that this one particular (false) talking point keeps getting repeated rather than us reading a long list of "pork" in the funding bill. If there's literally one (false) example for these talking points to recycle, it's almost as if there might be some disconnect between the claims about the need for more efficiency and the actual need.
