The Republican budget bill takes food from the poor to fund additional Pentagon spending and a massive tax cut for the rich. It is not "populist." It is the latest in a package of policies that will make you pay more for less.

Republicans want you to pay more for less

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Also I hope we're all on this same page
EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole
they were ALL wrongfully deported.
I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan'
but NO ONE should've been sent there

High school and youth sports are so valuable because they get at our basic psychological needs:
-We belong
-We can make progress
-We can have an impact
It's not about achievements. It's having a space to challenge ourselves in a healthy way.
Don't ruin sports, parents!

A publicly-funded study of the venomous saliva of the Gila monster is exactly the kind of silly sounding basic science John McCain and Tom Coburn used to rail about in the Senate, but it changed the course of medicine pretty substantially in the last 20y. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
