The #House passed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" on May 22 by a 1-vote margin…. The bill is now heading to the #Senate, where #Republicans hold a 53-47 vote margin. Several Republicans said they will seek to modify the #bill.
21 #Democrats from the House wrote to Speaker Mike Johnson on May 20 & urged him to strike the provision from the bill.
"This provision would neutralize valid injunctions & leave #courts #powerless to act in the face of open defiance," it said.

»Powerful – Adenas Schicksal« ist trotz des bedeutsamen Titels eher ein unwichtiger Teil der »Powerless«-Saga, den man als Fan durchaus genießen kann, aber nicht wirklich kennen muss, da das Buch keine neuen Facetten zum eigentlichen Hintergrund beiträgt.

Neue Fantasy-Rezi:
»Die Flucht« setzt die »Powerless«-Trilogie solide fort und bleibt ihrer Maxime treu, in erster Linie eine romantische Geschichte zu sein, in der die durch die Ereignisse des ersten Bandes zerbrochenen Bande durch unfreiwillige Nähe wider gekittet wird. Aber Hintergrund, Setting und Motivation vieler Personen bleiben weiterhin schwammig, es sei denn diese Elemente umkreisen die Beziehung der Hauptfiguren.

Lawrence O’Donnell pointed out the #power #plays that Elon Musk appeared to pull over President Donald Trump during their Oval Office press conference on Tuesday.
Musk stood over Trump,
“delivering a picture of presidential subservience the likes of which we have never seen,” said O’Donnell.
It was “the most #powerless image of a President of the United States ever created by a camera,” said “The Last Word” host.
Tech billionaire Musk, who Trump has tasked with slashing public spending via the non-official Department of Government Efficiency,
🔥did “everything he possibly can to tell the world, without saying a word, that ‘Donald Trump is not the boss of me,’” said O’Donnell.
Musk, the world’s richest person, also “violated” other White House norms by wearing casual attire, being present with his child and talking more than Trump.

5 Ways People Try to #Control Us
If you've been feeling #powerless in a current #relationship, this may be why.
@auschwitzmuseum You, We, Us... We must never surrender to this... ever... I mean even if you #Powerless, the flames in our eyes, hearts and minds... We must allow the winds of hatred to extinguish them.
And.... Honestly I have never felt such instability and volitility in the air. I hope I am wrong... Am I wrong?

27th finished book of the year: Powerless by Lauren Roberts 3.75 ⭐️ - While engaging and fast paced, and with a few sharp twists, I didn’t find the main characters all that interesting if I’m honest with myself. The premise of Powerless is almost summed up in the single word of the title - our heroine is hiding in a world of super powered humans, having to pass herself off as one of the Elite and hide the fact that she’s Ordinary. Yes, those are actually what they’re referred too - about as on-the-nose as Scott Westerfeld’s pointed use of Uglies and Pretties in his novels by the same names.
Pitted in a very Hunger Games-esque pageant for supremacy (killing non-mandatory) we see her get to know members of the upper-class Elite and find that commonalities with them, forming some new bonds and cautious friendships. The requisite enemies-to-lovers storyline is fun, teasy, and (with the dual-perspective of the two main-characters) very transparent. Perhaps because of this, I found that it began to feel a bit drawn out and over-stressed as the book progresses, wishing they’d just get on with it or not. While the ending is plenty dramatic and just as big of a cliffhanger as you’d expect from the first book in a trilogy, I can’t say I found it truly satisfying. However, I’m looking forward to reading the next one to see where things go. #powerless #laurenroberts #books #bookstodon #fantasy #romance #romantasybooks
