Left vs Right:
The left would provide Medicaid to a 1M people who need it, even if that meant there were 1K fraudsters cheating the system.
The right would take away Medicaid from 1K fraudsters cheating the system, even if that meant taking it away from 1M people who need it.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, Iโm not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Trump in Iowa says Iran called him after the B-2 strike to ask him if it could fire missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. โGo ahead,โ Trump says he told Iran. All 14 Iranian missiles successfully intercepted by U.S. Patriot PAC-3s.

Also, since (I'm guessing) most seniors take the Standard Deduction rather than itemizing, this deduction will not have any effect at all.

Ok, that makes sense. I was thinking a tax credit rather than a deduction from AGI.

Isn't it a deduction that *in effect* eliminates the tax for some seniors?

I truly hope this puts a definitive end to the perpetual insistence by Democrats that they can compromise with Republicans. You can't. These people are extreme, depraved, and shameless. They just stripped healthcare from 17 million people to give themselves a tax cut.

I donโt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make whatโs happening now look like childโs play. And people are disappearing.

Heck, all we have to do is write a "Jesus is Good" bill that includes things like feeding, clothing, and providing shelter for the poor, and dare the GOP to vote against "Jesus is Good."

You might find this picture morbid or eerie- odd in its own way, with unsettling details. Why is there a body on a door? Why is there no casket? And why is this happening in a lawn? It's a short story - one that makes the distant, abstract feeling of war suddenly tangible:
