We’ve already given so many examples of how the 1,500-page continuing resolution has nothing to do with keeping the government operating until March. We wanted to give this one special attention because someone went to a lot of work making an acronym for this act. Take for example the PATRIOT Act. The worst example we’ve seen so far comes from the January 6 select committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson, who proposed stripping Donald Trump of his Secret Service detail with the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act, or the DISGRACED Act.

This continuing resolution includes something called the Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act, also known as the TAKE IT DOWN Act. Is this what congressional staffers get paid to do? Think up ridiculous acronyms? In short, you can be thrown in jail for two years for posting “nonconsensual intimate visual depictions.”

What does this have to do with hurricane relief or aid to farmers? And what do either of those have to do with funding the government? Take all of this crap out and make it into individual bills.
