So House Republicans are fighting about the Medicaid cuts in the tax bill for the rich - not because it kicks nearly 9 million people off Medicaid - but because it doesn't kick enough people off Medicaid. Vote accordingly.

Opinion If SCOTUS is not prepared to protect human beings from being snatched off the street and shipped out of the country to torture prisons, it has no standing to represent the interests of any people in the country. It has no credibility.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.
