Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

Man who alleges Mountbatten abuse launches legal challenge Arthur Smyth is suing five state institutions including the Department of Health and the PSNI.

Prince Andrew now being called Andrew Mountbatten Windsor seems oddly fitting as the โ€œMountbattenโ€ comes from Lord Mountbatten, the great uncle and mentor to King Charles, who was also a child molester.

Hard to explain it all in a short post but the bottom line is healthcare in the US feels more like a system of extortion, not healthcare.

Yup. About $1500 a year increase. Insane.

Senior citizen here. Just went to Medicare to sign up for next year's drug plan. Put your seatbelts on. EVERYTHING went up - a lot, and I don't take anything but the usual blood pressure and statin meds.

The healthcare system in this country is an abomination. Another thing we should be ashamed of.

The increases are dreadful, but what a fucked up country where you don't get free healthcare

$1500 increase for our familyโ€™s insurance through work next year. And weโ€™re the lucky ones.
That kind of increase is insane.

Republicans clearly do not have the best interest of Americans at heart and should be removed from the political floor.

Thousands of you shared heartbreaking and maddening stories with me about rising health care costs. But the fight is far from over.

If you're willing to record your story, we can make sure GOP lawmakers see and hear the direct impact of their policy failures: wintheera.myctbl.com/share-your-s...

A tweet from the official Department of Homeland Security account tags @SenatorDurbin and reads:
โ€œ.@SenatorDurbin, this is SHAMEFUL. Want to talk about TERRORIZING? How about condemn the terrorist attacks and mass assaults against our law enforcement.โ€
It continues:
โ€œOur @ICEgov officers are PROTECTING our communities from illegal alien gang members, rapists, and child sex offendersโ€”that YOU are supporting. You should be thanking our brave men and women of @ICEgov instead of demonizing them.โ€

Just found out my private health insurance is going up $1500 for next year.
Thatโ€™s nothing compared to what many other Americans are about to experience.
To people outside of the US that has got to sound insane.
And they wonder why we donโ€™t travel more.

While neither man is in jail, as they both should be, at least the UK took steps to penalize a child rapist, Prince Andrew, I mean, Mr. Windsor, whereas the United States continues to protect one, Donald Trump.

Next time a Republican claims this is a โ€œDemocrat Shutdown,โ€ they should be reminded that Russell Vought, the presidentโ€™s top budget adviser, encouraged the GOP in Congress to shut down the government because itโ€™s easier to dismantle the government when it is closed. He's on record liking shutdowns.

Full vetting? After seeing the ICE Gestapo goons in action, Iโ€™d be surprised to find there is ANY vetting.

California โ€“ this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

Californiaโ€™s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, weโ€™re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

FACTS about SNAP:
