Just listened to a CNN segment that Iran could activate its cells in U.S. to carry out attacks. And my thoughts immediately went to Trump shifting counterterrorism units to immigration and putting a 22 year, whose experience includes assistant in a grocery store, in charge of terrorism prevention

The first person arrested by the Marines is an Army veteran who was on his way to work at the Veterans Administration. It appears he was arrested for crossing a yellow line which the Marines did not realize was not designed to exclude federal employees from reporting to work.

The Medicaid cuts proposed by the GOP are awful on their own. But they could also reduce economic activity — resulting in a loss of 850,000 jobs across the country in both the healthcare industry and beyond. All for tax cuts that will mostly benefit the richest Americans.
