ICE has $75B dollars to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 new deportation officers

According to this article, there's about $50M left over from the East Wing construction on the White House.

Maybe a food program for the poor? New insurance you say?

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.
