By the way, I’m sure you know this. Adding work requirements for social benefits does not increase employment. That’s never worked. Work requirements only erect hurdles making it much less likely that recipients will receive the benefits they are entitled to. Sen. Hawley: These are cuts!

Brilliant! Trump certainly knows how to use the art of the deal to strengthen his leverage in trade negotiations with China. China will now surely give him everything he wants on tariffs!

This is completely absurd. As the court of appeals reads the statute, there is no limiting principle to the definition of the word “rebellion“. If Congress wanted the president to have unlimited discretion, it could’ve said so. But it limited him to instances of a rebellion, ignored by the court.

Why believe Netanyahu now? Especially when western intelligence services have concluded that Iran may be enriching uranium but it’s not now developing a nuclear weapon. The man who cried ‘bomb’. Benjamin Netanyahu has been telling the world that Iran was creating a nuclear weapon.

Despite years of evidence to the contrary, when Trump said he’ll decide on bombing Iran in two weeks, mainstream media still report as fact that he will decide that question in two weeks! Watch👇 Two weeks is Trump’s way getting media to forget his blunders. Move on. Chase some other rabbit for now.

Every bit as descriptive of America now as in 1957, and maybe even more so. Good to be in America “If you are white in America“ And we can celebrate Stephen Sondheim’s lyrics now (in Pride Month!) for the powerful anti-immigrant racism they spotlighted then with a truth still powerful today.

NPR… …reported several times this morning that 14,000 foot Torrey’s Peak is EAST of Denver! I would think most people on your staff would know that only flat plains are east of Denver all the way to the Ozarks.

Netanyahu is attacking Iran for personal and selfish reasons. He fears a nearly negotiated deal between the U. S. and Iran limiting Iran’s nuclear development. He wants to cement the loyalty of right wing cabinet members to assure he remains Prime Minister after recent cracks in his support.

Why are there so many undocumented people in America? Perhaps 1 million in Los Angeles County. Because since 1988 Republicans in Congress have blocked four major efforts to reform immigration laws. Memorably, Speaker Boehner refused to permit a vote on one and Trump blocked most recent in January.

Trump officials and Chinese are today in London negotiating trade. But the Chinese have Trump over a barrel. They have cut off exports to the United States of rare earth minerals that are critically important for American manufacturing, especially cars. Trump has no leverage. He will cave!

TRUMP: We are going to mass deport the worst of the worst, the criminals, the rapists, escapees from insane asylums. NEVERMIND. There are too few of them and they are too hard to find. NOW MASS DEPORT laborers, roofers, waitresses, cooks, students, grandmothers, volleyball players, taxpayers all.
