Canada received a request for aid from Jamaica & quickly went into action. Plus tradespeople from Maritimes are already there. That is who we are. Any country in need can count on us.
It goes for USA too. If a mayor or governor ask our assistance we will be there.

Kristi Noem says “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained."

Tell that to George Retes. This U.S. Army veteran and American citizen was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by ICE while simply trying to get to work.

“High risk pools” are groups where insurance companies put those with preexisting conditions. Don’t let them hide the ball.

Colin Seeberger comments, “He’s talking about making people with preexisting conditions pay more. Here we go again.”
Below is a tweet from Aaron Rupar quoting Senator John Kennedy saying: “Bringing back high risk pools, which have been outlawed under the ACA.” The attached CNN screenshot shows a split-screen interview with Kennedy and the anchor discussing Republican healthcare ideas.

The International Space Station marks a quarter-century of continuous occupancy this weekend, boasting a guest list of nearly 300 — mostly professional astronauts but also the occasional space tourist and movie director. https://to.pbs.org/3X43jZT

International Space Station marks 25 years of nonstop human presence in orbit

With only five years left at the complex, NASA is counting on private companies to launch their own orbiting stations with an even bigger and wider clientele.

The Trump administration is restricting the number of refugees admitted annually to the United States to 7,500 and they will mostly be white South Africans, a dramatic drop announced Thursday that effectively suspends America’s traditional role as a haven for those fleeing war and persecution.

Trump sets 7,500 annual limit for refugees entering US. It’ll be mostly white South Africans

No reason was given for the numbers, a dramatic decrease from last year’s 125,000.

The Justice Department’s decision to sideline two US attorneys and remove mentions of Donald Trump and the US Capitol attack from court papers before the sentencing of a pardoned January 6 rioter is being viewed by former and current career prosecutors as an alarming whitewashing of history.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Trump just ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing, a move that could reignite a dangerous global arms race.

He's also furloughed nearly all federal workers responsible for overseeing and safeguarding America's nuclear stockpile.
