One of the most underrated features of CPAP is that when it’s cold you can bury yourself under the covers and use it like a little snorkel.

The solution to America's flawed immigration system is not the American Gestapo - it's increased pathways to citizenship.
There is honor in immigration. We must abolish ICE and invest in easier pathways to citizenship.

All Japanese hospitals are required to operate as non-profit entities. All surplus funds are reinvested into operations, infrastructure, or services—not distributed as profit.
Medical fees are strictly regulated by the Japanese government to maintain affordability and prevent profit-driven pricing.

Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner has suggested an effective playbook—
We should arrest rogue ICE agents at the state level, which would shield them from a presidential pardon.
This is the kind of hardline approach we need from our Democratic leaders.
