GOV. @GavinNewsom tells @JDCocchiarella he’s saying NO to AIPAC: “I don’t take tobacco money, oil money, and I’ve never taken AIPAC money. There are certain absolutes that are the lines that have been drawn for decades for me.”
Pennsylvania is one of a number of states with policies that help with kids with catastrophic diseases get immediately on Medicaid — even if they’re outside of the income level for it — so that families don’t go bankrupt if their kid gets a disease like cancer . It’s fairly obvious why Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia would want to meet with him on cuts and it’s not because they wanted a free trip to DC as Fetterman texted his aid.
This WSJ story on John Fetterman is wild especially on him blowing off a meeting with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia who were concerned about Medicaid cards: “Behind closed doors, the first-term senator shows little interest in doing the job beyond cultivating relationships with conservative media figures and advocating for Israel.” https://t.co/92MOYMXW2W
In 1939 we could build subway lines so cheaply we built one for a single event, the World's Fair, and then promptly tore it down because state law prohibited new above-ground train lines.
Asheville just legalized duplexes in the two-thirds of the city where they were banned, and rents were already falling before that vote. Perhaps we should spend less time on hundreds of meetings that block much-needed housing, and build until renters are the ones that hold the power over landlords.
Being born in Arlington, Virginia opens up life paths not available to most people anymore. You can still be an adventurer, a military governor, a viceroy, etc.
ICE arrested Loreto Javar, a 76-year-old man with Stage 4 prostate ancer, during a citizenship interview despite holding a green card and having no criminal history in the United States. He has been in custody for two months now.
As Justice Kavanaugh put it in his defense of racial profiling by immigration officers: "If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter."
It’s hard to wrap your head around a world where California High-Speed Rail had to conduct environmental impact studies on monarch butterflies along existing tracks in the exact same county where this is allowed to happen.
Karla Ordaz Rodriguez was arrested by local police "in connection with a minor domestic incident in which she was the primary victim." Rather than await the outcome of the local case, ICE arrested her and detained her in one of its prisons away from her infant for weeks.
Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching.
Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.
I may have died and gone to heaven. Working out walking on a treadmill and have maybe the greatest trio of tv in front of me. 1) Rays vs Tigers game 2) golf channel 3) NHL network replay of 2002 Stanley cup final game five. If this is what true happiness is I don’t want to leave!
Really disappointing from Meeks. I cannot believe he actually opposes the war in Iran if he puts one of the only Dems who supported the war in Iran in charge of the subcommittee responsible for it.
