Republicans are telling SNAP recipients they will starve to death unless the Democrats agree to let them take away their health care.

So which will it be: Die of hunger or die of disease?

Technically, both are correct. We are not building a base for the Qataris, but we are building a facility for them on an existing base, to house their pilots during training. We've done for other countries for decades.

I love that my doctors are competent and caring. As it happens, almost all of them are women.

Unfortunately, only members of the executive and judicial branches are liable to impeachment. The Senate could expel one of its members, but I don't see that happening here.

This assumes that precedent still has meaning, and that the law applies equally to all. Both are highly questionable with this supreme court.

Correction to my earlier statement. Poland is now saying that Russian drones did enter their airspace and that they shot several down. While a violation of Polish territory and an act of war, it is too soon to describe it as an "attack on Poland." A "test" would be more accurate.

This may have been accurate at the time I wrote it, but now CNN, BBC, and other sources have verified that Russian drones did invade Polish air space and the Polish and NATO warplanes scrambled in response. Several drones have been shot down.
