How is it possible that our great nation's leaders could turn a blind eye to feeding starving children? Food that was paid for with our tax dollars is now going to be destroyed. That is a level of spite and petty that knows no bounds.

House Republicans decided that tax cuts for billionaires are more important than life-saving services like Medicaid.

Noem Incorrectly Says Habeas Corpus Is Trump’s “Constitutional Right” to Deport People Noem’s comment raised alarm about the administration’s willingness to suspend the fundamental right.

When asked to define habeas corpus, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said, “Well, habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country.”

Palestinians Face Mass Starvation. US-Israeli Plan Would Further Weaponize Food. World Peace Foundation Executive Director Alex de Waal discusses the plan he dubs “surveillance humanitarianism.”…

Israel's plan to permanently remove international humanitarian organizations from Gaza and instate a joint U.S. scheme instead would only supply at most 60% of the population with minimum rations, meaning the current mass starvation would still unfold.

Texas’s State Senate has passed an anti-abortion bill that seeks to punish anyone who distributes abortion medication with huge fines — and it includes a provision forbidding any state court from reviewing its constitutionality.

If some of this reallocated money was spent on the mental health of members of the White House and conservative politicians, I’d feel better. SHAME!!

Student mental health grants had bipartisan support, but Trump is cutting them anyway There’s no good reason for the Trump administration to cut grants for student mental health programs. It’s happening anyway.

“After school shootings, many Republicans try to shift the public conversation away from gun violence and toward mental health programs that might make mass shootings less likely. Student mental health grants had bipartisan support.

“Trump is cutting them anyway.”

Margaret Thatcher said that the problem with socialists was that they always ran out of other people's money.

In the intervening years, what has become abundantly clear, is that the problem with capitalism is that the greed of the wealthy can never be satisfied & it's the poor who must pay for it.

Disability Advocates Alarmed by HHS Removal of Gender Dysphoria Protections The move reduces protections for transgender people who face discrimination in health care, education and housing.

Removing gender dysphoria from Section 504 significantly reduces protections for transgender people who face discrimination in health care, education, and housing. “This opens up those with gender dysphoria to discrimination in [...] pretty much all aspects of life, without legal recourse.”

And another... the art of the deal doesn't pan out for middle-class Americans. Many have seen their retirement funds decimated. There's no extra money to make deals on the stock market floor. The rich get richer, and those living paycheck to paycheck get farther behind. #hudsonvalleystrong

Trump “Border Czar” Says ICE’s Word Is Enough to Prove an Immigrant Is a Gang Member Hundreds of recently deported immigrants were labeled as gang members despite having no criminal histories.

Hundreds of migrants have been deported on the basis that they were violent gang members, even though nearly three-quarters of the people sent to a prison in El Salvador had no criminal record. Trump’s “border czar,” now says that nothing more than the word of an ICE agent is needed to prove it.

From Saugerties today:

This did not age well. . . .

Nothing so far…
