BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

In a shocking twist we all saw coming, the GOP has voted to let the ACA/Obamacare subsidies expire.
People will die without insurance, but that's a risk pro-life Republicans are willing to take.

Refuse to let Trump bully you, Indiana. Stand strong. Unless it's directed at a person/people who are in your tribe, it's not moral courage.
Indiana Republican State Senator Greg Goode, a key swing vote who Trump attacked by name and was victim of swatting attempt, indicates he's voting no on mid-decade gerrymandering. Increases likelihood bill will fail. He denounces "Threats of primaries. Threats of violence. Acts of violence."

If I were an Indiana congressperson this would really piss me off. I'd be more determined than ever to stand up against something I knew was wrong. The mob boss approach works best on people you have kompromat on, not people just trying to do their jobs.
