@RobSandIA These healthcare center closures are devastating for rural communities. Improving access to physicians and care is (or should be) definitely on the ballot this year.
Imagining explaining to the Founding Fathers that the president imposed tariffs without an act of Congress and then removed them at the request of the King of England
This is a pretty dishonest framing of what’s actually happening. There is no ‘Democrat DHS shutdown.’ This is a funding standoff over how immigration enforcement is handled, not whether DHS should exist.
Democrats have already supported funding most of DHS, TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, Secret Service, to keep the department running. Republicans rejected that.
And let’s be clear: asking for guardrails after agents shot and killed two Americans isn’t ‘open borders.’ It’s basic oversight. Democrats aren’t trying to eliminate DHS, they’re trying to put conditions on how enforcement works. That’s not the same thing, no matter how many times you repeat this lie.
Also, the Senate already passed a bipartisan bill that would have reopened most of DHS and paid workers. House Republicans refused to take it up. So claiming Republicans are the ones ‘fully reopening’ the department while Democrats are blocking it is backwards. Senate Republicans agreed with Democrats.
What you’re calling ‘defunding’ is actually a disagreement over policy and accountability. Calling it ‘open borders’ and ‘protecting criminals’ is a lie. Stop lying to the American people.
The spacecraft will travel forwards at high speed before eventually coming back again
Initial ascent is followed by continued ascent until ascent is no longer required
The trajectory has been optimised to go around the moon instead of into it
Interestingly, gravity will be used and also avoided
Landing has currently been scheduled for the end of the mission
NOTE: Astronauts will remain inside the spacecraft throughout
Look at the bright side! Pre-streaming television decades ago forced everyone to listen to/watch a hourslong bloviating #stateoftheunion speech on every network TV station, and the media rehashing all the talking points. Or we could find something else to do. #writingcommunity
