When Presidents propose a bill or plan, congress still has to draft and pass the bill in full, bc it includes more than just "issue this check."
So ask your congressional rep where your checks are, because it's on congress to get it through.
Nah. Where\u2019s the $2000?

The same Congress y'all said needed to be turned blue before things could get done? Oh okay. https://t.co/ShJ9qEwKKz

Naima, don't do this. Trump showed us the power of executive orders and the bully pulpit. There's nothing wrong with Dems learning from him.

They could have started working on it beforehand in the house when the new term started.

The Senate wasn\u2019t going to until the inauguration because of the Turtle.
FYI: We didn\u2019t have a Treasury Secretary until last night. You kinda want one of those in place before you start trying to craft fiscal policy.

To put it another way for @MelAnthony15, EO\u2019s are strictly the President using his or her powers to execute laws already on the books. The President has breathing room to execute the law as they interpret it, and if the President overreaches, they can be sued...

Or Congress can write a new bill (that has to be signed by the President or passed with a supermajority to override a Presidential veto) to override an executive order.

The President has an agenda/priorities, but only congress drafts actual law.
Then, there's the stark difference between how House and Senate operate.
Honest question: why do you feel the need to do all this? do you not feel also lied to by your president? why are you so on here carrying his water for free

Also important to note that Congress has the power of the purse. Biden cannot draft an executive order that has dollars attached to it. That has to be done through legislation.

MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)
1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)
2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).
These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.
Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.
3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

Ask: \u201cWhat needs to be true for you to be all in?\u201d
You'll usually get an explicit answer that you might not get otherwise. It also holds them accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
