People caring for a sick or elderly relative are shocked to find out that Medicare does not cover the cost of a nursing home or subsidized care at home. Private health insurance doesn't pay either. The US spends far less money on long-term care than other nations.

Why is caregiving so hard in America? The answers emerge in a new film

Noem’s Goons crossed the reddest of red lines by attacking and handcuffing a U.S. Senator. In times past Senators of both parties would have rallied behind their fellow Senator and called Noem and her henchmen into the Senate to demand their resignations. MAGA Senators will do nothing.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

I elaborated on the point that the Big Beautiful Bill has a pretty direct connection to the ICE raids in Los Angeles: it provides $72 billion for detention and enforcement that would bring community crackdowns to a city near you:

The Big Beautiful Bill Will Bring ICE Raids to Your City
Senate Democrats don’t have to separate the crackdown in Los Angeles and the Republican bill in Washington. The latter will allow for more of the former.

- The starting wage is $22/hr.
- Paid parental leave is 1 year.
- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.
- All workers get pensions.
