It's been four and a half years and he can't stop crying about people that are still crying, "how can a chaiwala become a PM?"
2014: "They won't let a Chaiwala become a PM!"

2015: "They don't like it."

2016: "A Chaiwala who became a PM. They don't like it!"

2017: "Chaiwala... PM... You know the rest."

2018: "They still don't like it!"

2019: "They wont let a Chaiwala become a PM... For the 2nd time!"
<Meanwhile, in an alternate universe>

Modiji: "They don't want Chaiwala to become PM."

Public: "Naah. We're cool."

Modiji: "What... No you don't. It's disgusting, RIGHT?"

Public: "Nope. Well done sir. PM and all, badhiya."

Modiji: "Ohkay... Um. Now I have to be PM, I guess."

ALERT!
Supplementary List of Business in Lok Sabha is out.

Two bills listed for introduction, including the Constitutional Amendment Bill for 10% Quota. What's more, it is also listed for consideration and passing TODAY!
#SansadWatch
They seem to be in the mood to bulldoze this bill through. It's a super important Constitutional Amendment, mind you.

No time will be given to MPs for filing amendments. The Bill was circulated TODAY! Parliamentary practice is being thrown out the window.
#SansadWatch
In his interview to @smitaprakash, PM Modi had said that there should be deep discussions in Parliament on every aspect. But when his Government introduces and pushes through bills at such short notice, what they heck is he even talking about?

Whattay farce.

Lok Sabha resumes with hearty Happy New Year cheers.

Slowly and steadily they get replaced by random JUSTICE JUSTICE chants.
#SansadWatch
Can't quite figure out which party is screaming in Lok Sabha. INC MPs are asking supplementary questions & you can see their MPs sitting quietly in the background.
House adjourned to meet at 12 pm.

Aadhaar Amendment Bill to be introduced in Lok Sabha today. This will probably be cleared and certified as a money bill.

Because, you know, who gives a damn.
#SansadWatch
Reports indicate this Bill circumvents the SC Judgment. It will again allow private companies to use and exploit Aadhaar.

Thread. 👇
This bill has not been introduced yet. A draft should be available to the public but... well, it isn't. After introduction today, sufficient time needs to be given to MPs for filing amendments.

If it is bulldozed through shamelessly, it's fraud.
Pure and simple.

every single word of this is designed to confuse and deflect and write around the fact advance is killing the best designed paper in america and taking 30 jobs with it and ultimately will solve nothing cleveland.com/news/2018/12/t…
the first ten paragraphs are a gigantic word bolus that lead into this (which is also effectively the death of the plain dealer union as well)

In just a few hours I will depart for Maryland for New Horizons' New Years flyby of the Kuiper Belt Object (486958) 2014 MU69. Before I go, I thought I would re-tell some of the stories about how we came to know about this little world.
I wrote a piece for NASA that tells some of these stories, and you can read it here: blogs.nasa.gov/pluto/2016/06/…
I'll be making some new illustrations as I go along here, so bear with me.

20 yrs ago today on December 16, 1998 Pres. Bill Clinton launched Operation Desert Fox, an illegal, unjustified military attack on Iraq in which the US attacked 100 targets with cruise missiles. I there in the middle of the bombing to witness its effects. Here's my story 1/
The attacks took place after seven years of US-backed UN sanctions on Iraq had led to the deaths of at least 500,000 Iraqis. That October the head of the UN Oil for Food Program, Denis Halliday, resigned, charging that the sanctions were genocidal. independent.co.uk/news/un-aid-ch… 2/
Pres Clinton unilaterally and illegally bombing Iraq throughout the 1990s, ostensibly to enforce a US-declared no-fly zone over Iraq, killing hundreds of civilians. US media accounts rarely mentioned them, so ingrained was the belief in the US right to attack Iraq. 3/

Americans want to be popular & on the edge of fashion / technology etc . That people will bring devices into theirhomes 🏡. Allowing themselves to be listened too at will .
Facial recognition selfies. Now we all know the reason behind them.Yet no one will stop using them .
People are so consumed with LOOKING good to others .. never realizing they fall into the trap of what society deems ... right .
#clothes - #homes - #cars - #schools - etc

Who are the #people telling the rest of us how & what we should have to look like we are successful.
Yet If we get mad 😡 or upset 😠 & start to ask questions —demand justice for America.Demand we stop being used for our resources. ( WELFARE )

People call use names bigot - racist - sexist - etc

They say if we love our COUNTRY we are somehow the extreme.

Hold fast & STAND 🆙

After four and a half years, today is my last day covering the Senate Intelligence Committee. I am here to report that I never actually did secure a chair.
Covering Senate Intel, though, has been crazy and frustrating and a hell of a lot of fun. I learned a lot. And since there's heightened interest in this otherwise quiet Hill fixture, here's some random stuff I learned.
1. The concept of "who watches the watchmen" is so important. SSCI is *the* external oversight check on some of the administration's most secretive programs. Someone (ie, journalists) needs to make sure they're doing it well.
