The Onion definitely needs a heads-up on acceptable trans terminology, but if you can get past that it’s damn funny.

This weekend GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham told a home state audience in South Carolina that government contractors should make layoffs before the November elections in order to “pressure Congress” into making spending cuts.

Late last night the U.S. House narrowly approved its version of the health care reform bill by a vote of 220-215. Only one Republican, first termer Rep.
