All About Gay Cakes Bout Gay Cakes! Wonkagenda For Fri., Sept. 8, 2017

It's Friday, Wonketariat! Let's start off with some mystery bonus nice time! Now here's some of the things we may be talking about today.


Russia's attack on the 2016 election came in three parts, fucking with social media, fucking with the DNC, and fucking with states -- and they haven't stopped fucking around. [Morning Maddow]

The House is delaying the spending bill that includes Harvey aid until next week just in case Hurricane Irma fucks Florida seven different ways on Sunday.

Governors just want to fix lingering problems with the ACA before health insurers threaten to back out of market places (again), but nobody can agree who has to pay for all those band-aids.

Senate Republicans are signaling that they're done trying to kill the ACA (for now) as they're still trying to lick their wounds from the last beating.

The Senate Appropriations Committee is giving the State Department $51 billion Ameros, and that includes billions for humanitarian aid, $10 million in funding for the UN climate change agency, and an amendment to overturn Trump's ban on Not America women's access family planning services. SUCK IT, REXXON!

Jeff Sessions doesn't think gay-hatin' bakers should have to make gay cakes for gay weddings if they don't like the gays so he's on his hands and knees begging the SCOTUS to think of the children.

Republicans are seriously freaking out about Trump's two-timing double-cross with Democrats on the debt ceiling, and they're worried how easily he might cave under real pressure.

Newt Gingrich is scheming to return as House Speaker in the wake of Trump's failure to shut down the government. He's either the turd that won't flush, or he can't get laid in Italy.

The "deep state" is just a bunch of nerds who like to snipe at each other from windowless Washington basements, not a bunch of super spies who secretly call the shots and guide public policy, and the "good guys" and "bad guys" are always switching sides.

Ted Cruz is getting ready to run for reelection, so he's putting on his happy face, and hoping you forget that he's a pathological liar who has shut down the government, killed universal healthcare, tried to deny federal aid to New York and New Jersey, and ate that booger on TV.

Some racist pig fucker(s) in Topeka, Kansas, greeted their new Habitat for Humanity neighbor with racial slurs spray painted on the lawn. The problem's not the slur per se; it's the GODDAMN WAY THE TOWN IS TREATING HABITAT FOR HUMANITY AND THE PEOPLE WHO EARN THEIR GODDAMN HOUSES.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wife, Sara Netanyahu, is going to be indicted for fraud over ALLEGEDLY spending many Ameros that belonged to the state on some fancy parties, and then trying to hide it. As her defense, she is literally blaming the butler.

One of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's kids and his brother-in-law are denying allegations of smuggling $125.4 million Ameros worth of crystal meth from China, even though Duterte's kid ALLEGEDLY has a tattoo on his back that ID's him as a member of a drug cartel.

Overnight a huge 8.1 earthquake ripped through Southern Mexico, scaring the crap out of people, killing at least six. No es bueno. :(

Somebody hacked credit reporting agency Equifax, making off with the records of 143 MILLION people -- making it arguably the worst data breach in history as it compromises the socials, birthdays, addresses, even drivers license numbers of 44% of all Americans. TO make matters even worse, it seems like Equifax executives dumped their stock upon learning of the breach. The good news is that the hipster youth can't get credit due to unpayable student loans.

A couple of Senate Democrats bought you an extra month to tell the FCC why net neutrality is so damn important. You can do that here, provided you're on your best behavior!

APPARENTLY the Daily Stormer has a style guide for how to write like a Nazi, that includes when not to give Alex Jones and Mili Yano-whatever reach arounds for being "pro-jew shills."

The FBI file on Breitbart is almost 1,500 pages thick, and you can only read about 20 pages of it as the rest might reveal snitches, investigations, or how Steve Bannon sucks his own dick.

Dame Peggington Noonington hath opined that one Donald J. Trump is no Ronald Reagan, no matter how many times one Mr. Trump consumes digestible tidbits about the Gipper. Nay, Dame Peggington suggests that Mr. Trump hath made a deal with the Democratic Devil. [Archive]
