Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

two doses of lethal drugs and still alive. heartbreaking and barbaric
A lawyer for Christa Pike said executioners have administered two syringes of lethal injection drugs to Pike but that she remains alive and breathing.
Kelly Gleason, an attorney for Pike, said she heard this from another of Pike's attorneys, Randy Spivey. Gleason said Spivey was in the death chamber with Pike but stepped out to call Gleason.
"She's alive and snoring," Gleason said.
Another attorney, Amy Harwell, is driving an emergency motion to the Tennessee Supreme Court, Gleason said.
"She needs immediate medical care," Gleason said.

PREFU says agency budgets are fixed in dollar terms. Each future Budget can add $2.4 billion in new spending, with no adjustment for inflation. Inflation lifts the tax take while those budgets stand still. A fixed budget buys less each year prices rise. The surplus is planned on that gap. #nzpol
