ICE is planning to concentrate detainees into just a few, massive warehouse locations before deporting them without due process. They are building concentration camps. This is a Nazi regime. If you ever thought about what you'd do under Hitler, start doing it now, lest this escalate even further.
"The large warehouses would be located close to major logistics hubs in Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Georgia and Missouri. Sixteen smaller warehouses would hold up to 1,500 people each."

Now is the time to repeatedly let the American people know the cost and benefits of Medicare and suggest they might want to have the opportunity (option) to buy in to M4A and cut the insurance companies out of the healthcare management business completely. People are listening.

We are so beaten down by a Congress that is obviously bought and paid for by health insurance companies, that even the smallest crumbs of subsidies extensions THAT BOOST PROFITS for health insurance companies are seen as good things. Ridiculous. AND SHAMEFUL.
So the proposed Democratic health care plan in the discharge petition is simply to extend ACA subsidies for three years, with no public option, Medicare-buy-in, or filling in the Medicaid coverage gap in holdout red states.
We should aim so much higher than just subsidizing for-profit corporations.

I also have been assuming that the primary purpose of this conflict is domestic
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

The Kennedy Center was given its name by an act of Congress after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Pretty sure its current board, which includes revered fine arts dignitaries like Laura Ingraham, Pamela Jo Bondi, Maria Bartiromo, and Lee Greenwood, can't undo that law.
