Even if true, $1B is nothing in the federal budget. The federal goverent spends $1.9T on heath care costs.
The ICE budget is $37.5B. So, if it were true that $1B is being spent on health care for undocumented immigrants, one year of the ice budget could pay for it for nearly 40 years.
Maybe show them this… The supreme court is considering whether to hear a case that could be used to reverse it’s gay marriage decision from 2015.
This is true almost everywhere in the US.
So, escalation it is, then. I’m guessing this guy was the voice of relative calm and had pushed back on too many times.
The article addresses this. The legislation addresses it in even more detail.
The first three years are just for the department of health to research the problem and develop standards based on available and newly funded research. The next seven years would likely see schools phasing out problematic foods one by one as they find appropriate alternatives and end contracts.
Keep in mind that processed foods tend to be cheaper, too, so trying to maintain the same cost while replacing the processed foods will take time and effort.
Yeah, unfortunately I recognize that… The difference, not that it really makes one in the current climate, is that one side would have actually broken a long-standing law while the other would not. Hopefully if that cycle is repeated enough people would see who the liars are.
It probably doesn’t matter, though…

If we ever get another administration, they should clean house to remove those who ignored their oaths. Federal employees have sworn not to violate the Hatch Act and should be prosecuted to remove the infection from our government. As a former federal employee, I do not appreciate these roles becoming political in any way.
If it’s true that Trump is being lied to by his advisors in order to get him to act the way they want, that means there is a huge weakness in the scheme. If someone could show him definitively that his advisors are lying, it could cause him to turn on some of them.
Maybe he’s being fed false information. Given how critical this all is, I could see them commissioning entire fake newscasts to show him. Hell, they could probably just show him AI newscasts given how good he is at identifying fake images.
What, they decided that what the US is doing looks fun? This is an awful policy in the US and it would be an awful policy in Europe…
They’re going to let the shutdown happen but they’re not going to point the blame where it needs to go. They’re going to be spineless and let the Republicans blame them for the shutdown.
They absolutely have to shut it down. That said, if they lose the messaging game (they will) they will absolutely lose this fight.
They didn’t interpret it that way. They are using its ambiguity to justify weaponization of the DHS.
What are the consequences of a bad threat assessment? Hopefully it just means he’d never need to be close enough to Trump to smell his diapers.
This is stupid. That said, calling for the FCC to regulate Fox isn’t going to happen. They don’t have jurisdiction over cable channels. Find another way to get fox to fire their aspiring mass murderer.
And in a way that makes people believe that they’re doing good and that we can trust the billionaires to have society’s best interests at heart. They’re laundering their image while continuing to enrich themselves.
I didn’t realize this was happening. Where can I find out more about this?
So, essentially, one Mexican senator spouted off on Fox News about welcoming US military intervention. This isn’t a widely held position and is just the position of one extremist senator. Is that right?
As I keep telling people, they’re not upset about it because their media aren’t telling them about things like this, at least not in the same terms.
Dumb question. If they collect donations, how do they plan to get them into Gaza?
I worry that donation campaigns for Gaza are likely scams because they won’t be able to get the aid where it is supposed to go. I worry that the people leading this are just pocketing the donations.
Please tell me I’m wrong and these people are actually trying to use the donations well…
Complaining that something good isn’t good enough is certainly helpful. Maybe go find somewhere more appropriate to complain about all of the shitty stuff. Let people enjoy the small wins. There are few enough of them right now that spoiling them with doomerism just makes things worse for everyone.
I hope the lawyers keep quitting and no one replaces them until this administration has been tossed in the trash. I worry that if lawyers with consciences don’t come back, though, their positions will be filled by sycophants. I also worry that once the Democrats take back over they will be unwilling to fire the new right-wing sycophants.
