Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.
And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

According to the Government’s own numbers undocumented aliens receive about 0.4% of all Medicaid spending. Less than 1 percent.
THAT is what the soulless and ignorant Republicans are braying about.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.
Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.
The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism
In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.
Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Why did Nazi Germany locate concentration camps outside of Germany?
Concentration camps were located outside of Germany because the Nazis wanted to maximize efficiency in carrying out their genocide while minimizing exposure and potential resistance within Germany. Now replace "Germany" with "U.S."

Proof that ignorance kills!
The parents of an unvaccinated 6-year-old girl who just died from measles in Texas say they have no regrets for refusing to vaccinate their child.
“The measles are good for the body... She’s better off where she is now.”
“The measles are good for the body... She’s better off where she is now.”

The measles vaccine has been proven to be safe and effective against the disease, which is highly contagious and can be life threatening.

Why? 10% of Americans are illiterate, & only 70% graduate HS, & of those, 50% go to college. The GOP has been dumbing down America for years. Vladimir Putin was right, saying, “Wars are won by teachers.” The dumbing down of America has been a success.
America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

End the filibuster! The filibuster is a Senate rule, not Constitutional, & is a vestigial tool of racism. Also, end the Electoral College! It was partly made for white male slave owners who didn't want a 2-party system when freed slaves could vote. We’ve now learned it’s too easily corrupted.
The structure of the Senate with the filibuster distorts the democratic process dramatically.
If you add the population of the fifteen smallest states together you get 19.5 million. This means that 5.7% of the population can stop any legislation.

I honestly don't know the answer to my question. In how many cases has the government maintained that DOGE is not an agency. Have they maintained in any case that it is? Have they refused to say in some cases? This particular bit of Hollander's opinion is crucial: they can't have it both ways.
Judge Hollander: Govt maintains DOGE is not an agency. If that's true, she goes on, then DOGErs cannot be detailed to agencies:

Abortion decisions should be wholly private & not political. Lost in the debate are ideas about "ensoulment,” "quickening,” & “first breath” related to history, medicine, religions, & the Constitution. Neither medical science nor the Constitution posit a soul’s existence or zygote’s birthright.

Sanders: Our life expectancy is about four years less than in other wealthy countries.
If you’re working class in America, you live 7-8 years shorter than people who are wealthy. Now, why is that?
The answer is not just healthcare. But it is the day-to-day stress that working people live under.
