They would never let me into this country if I weren't already here
In addition to 5 years of social media history, CBP would also require tourists to provide all phone numbers used over that period, any email addresses used in the past decade, DNA and iris scans, and the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members

The GOP just blocked extending the ACA subsidies - again.
Making people’s healthcare skyrocket while you control the White House and both chambers of Congress seems like a great move for the midterms.

At some point if you’re the government, & you understand what doing justice means, you let this case go. If a grand jury won’t indict, a trial jury definitely won’t convict. But it’s hard to move on when the boss wants to get revenge. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Administration fails again to indict N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James
A grand jury has refused to indict New York attorney general Letitia James, the second panel to refuse to do so, dealing a major setback to President Trump.

The vote on extending ACA subsidies has failed (political theater as expected). Republicans simply do not care about the plight of everyday Americans. It is almost guaranteed that Mainers will be crushed by increased premiums now on top of the existing affordability crisis. People deserve better.
Competing health care plans fail in the Senate as ACA premium hikes loom
The outcome was widely expected after Democrats and Republicans released dueling bills. Congress is under pressure to address health care costs before federal subsidies lapse at the end of the year.
