Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.

The science behind gender-affirming care has been endorsed by every major medical organization. This isn't about science or medicine. It's about the discomfort many non-trans people feel over the *existence* of trans people.

The Department of Health and Human Services announced several different plans to further restrict gender affirming care to people under 18 across the country.
If finalized, these actions could effectively make it impossible for transgender minors to receive most affirming health care at hospitals.

EB-2 is an employment-based visa for people with either "exceptional ability in their field," or an advanced degree such as an MA or a PhD.
But there is a national interest waiver that bypasses the requirement of a job offer, and it's this loophole which Trump is driving a truck through.

The President's Affordability Tour begins with a central message: Cheer up. You can easily do without and enjoy it. And it teaches your entitled kids a healthy lesson. Also steel. That's a real need.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

The US government is engaged in a policy program of mass exclusion.
It is not a ‘crackdown’—which means strict enforcement against lawbreakers.
It seeks to exclude refugees, students, and family members immigrating lawfully, and to exclude US citizens smeared as undesirable.
