Southport inquiry to consider curfews for ‘potential criminals’

This is all we need. #Curfews for ‘#potential’ criminals - it will fit right in with #proscription of #protest groups and more. #Labour will love it.

OK it is only being ‘considered’ - but I bet it will be met with a joyous political response. A slippery slope.

Senate Minority Leader #Mitch #McConnell's office has been working behind the scenes to get House 🔸conservatives to drop their demands that a short-term funding bill include an immigrant voting crackdown, 🔸

A GOP showdown is brewing ahead of the ♦️Oct. 1 government #funding #deadline.♦️

Conservatives have shown a willingness to flirt with shutdowns to push their priorities, which McConnell's team wants to avoid.

In a recent meeting with other GOP offices about a short-term spending bill strategy, top McConnell staffers argued that adding a non-citizen voting bill would 🔥backfire.

One fear is🔷 such a move would open the door for Democrats to tack on their own voting-related legislation, 🔷two GOP aides familiar with the conversation told Axios.

The ⭐️John Lewis Voting Rights Act, ⭐️a Democrat priority that seeks to restore parts of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, was specifically discussed as a possibility.

The big picture: McConnell staffers have urged conservatives in the Senate and the House to keep the precedent of passing clean short-term-funding bills
and argued that using a #potential #shutdown to try to score political points is dangerous before the election, sources said.

Even if Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) could get a spending bill that includes the immigrant voting crackdown through the House, the measure almost certainly would be dead-on-arrival in the Democrat-controlled Senate and President Biden has said he "strongly opposes" it.

That reality helps explain the pushback from McConnell's team.

Their involvement in this latest push shows he's not taking a back seat in high-level negotiations even though he plans to step down as leader after the election.

The #House #Freedom #Caucus and other conservatives have been pressuring their leadership to attach 💥legislation that requires people registering to vote to provide a proof of citizenship 💥to any short-term spending measure.

Johnson is a big supporter of the measure, known as the ❌SAVE Act, and has signaled he's open to attaching it to a funding bill.

He told reporters Tuesday that he was "looking for every way to push the SAVE Act and to get it through the Senate."

Axios · McConnell’s big fear on the next budget fightBy Stef W. Kight

Zach Ocean argues that starting a service business is advantageous in the current market.

Unlike product businesses, service businesses can start generating revenue immediately without an R&D phase. Key strategies for growth include increasing charges, hiring, productizing services, and leveraging AI for automation.

Ocean emphasizes the simplicity of starting and the evolving opportunities for growth in the service sector.

www.zachocean.com · Now is a good time to start a service businessNow is a good time to start a service business. Maybe you should try it! A service business is one where your company sells its work output directly instead of selling a product. Dentists, plumbers, design agencies, pool cleaner, consultants: these are all service businesses. The opposite of a service business is a product business, where your company develops a product and sells it to customers. Your dentist pays for a practice-management software product and a bunch of teeth cleaning products like drills, mirrors, and suctions, but you pay for the service of a biannual dental checkup.

What is the #pandemic #potential of avian #influenza A(#H5N1)? Lancet Infect Dis.: thelancet.com/journals/laninf/

Although sequencing of viruses from patient & cattle in #Texas did not ring alarm bells regarding potential of HPAI A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b for sustained human #transmission, next flu pandemic—whether caused by an avian influenza A(H5N1) virus or otherwise—seems inevitable. Threat of a pandemic remains high, & we urge intl leaders to reach an agreement on a pdm accord before it is 2late.
