Trump's unauthorized Venezuela attack won't help Americans | Opinion President Donald Trump didn't ask anyone's permission to take military action against Venezuela. He just did it, and it helps nobody.

Trump's unauthorized Venezuela invasion is reckless and absurd. And it won’t do a damn thing to help regular Americans now facing skyrocketing health-insurance premiums and high food prices.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.
