I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.
During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.
He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.
This is a diseased society.

From elders struggling with high electric bills to lost economic development opportunities, Trump’s gutting of Solar for All is felt by all on northern plains reservations.
Native Families Were Promised Free Solar. Trump Took It Away
This story is published in partnership with Reveal and Mother Jones. It was sunny and warm for the end of November on the Rocky Boy's Reservation in Northern Montana. Joseph Eagleman was standing on a grassy hill looking at a 20-panel solar array in the backyard of a Chippewa Cree elder. It was built under the Solar for All program, a Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act-funded project that distributed $7 billion to build residential solar across the country.
