Dems are turning on Schumer, the moment is ripe to insert Bernie into leadership.

I'm curious, does insurance cover your child's treatment if you refuse to vaccinate? Seems like they wouldn't, but I'm not familiar with the law.

I use Paint.net usually and there are plugins people make that you can install. Does GIMP not have that?

The money from federal grants mostly goes towards vulnerable student populations like special education, English learners, and poverty. So the most vulnerable students will probably feel these cuts the most, unless states step up to address the gaps.

Being that he renewed his Green Card recently, it would make no sense that his very minor record would pose any issue, otherwise the government could have denied his renewal.

 

The Trump administration said the president actually signed the proclamation contending Tren de Aragua was invading the United States Friday night but didn’t announce it until Saturday afternoon. Immigration lawyers said that, late Friday, they noticed Venezuelans who otherwise couldn’t be deported under immigration law being moved to Texas for deportation flights. They began to file lawsuits to halt the transfers.

“Basically any Venezuelan citizen in the US may be removed on pretext of belonging to Tren de Aragua, with no chance at defense,” Adam Isacson of the Washington Office for Latin America, a human rights group, warned on X.

Seriously, how many crimes will he commit before something stops him? Who polices the president? Ohhhhh right, it's Congress. The courts can check his orders when someone sues, but they don't charge him with crimes. I guess it could be possible for a blue state to arrest him when he commits a heinous crime within its borders, but I won't hold my breath

I agree. I know there are tens of thousands of international travelers entering the US daily and he was a single case, but the question remains, why? The article mentions a DUI on his record from a decade ago as well as a marijuana possession charge that was dismissed when legalization passed. So, is that literally it? It's fucking insane that they are violating his rights like this and fucking torturing him.

They're called "undocumented" because it is not a criminal offense to enter the country, but a civil one. Some also use "unauthorized" which is probably a little more accurate.

He's a ketamine abuser, so it checks out.

Short-term side effects of ketamine use may include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, feeling strange or “loopy,” difficulty speaking, numbness, blurred vision, or nausea. Ketamine may also cause changes in blood pressure and heart rate.11

Studies show that unsupervised ketamine use may have serious health risks.1 These include respiratory depression, which is dangerously slow and shallow breathing. A NIDA-funded study found that problems related to ketamine use reported to poison control centers increased 81% from 2019-2021. The use of other drugs along with ketamine, especially opioids or GHB, another club drug, led to the most health problems, some of them life-threatening.12

Long-term, heavy ketamine use is associated with memory problems, depression, and anxiety.13 At high doses, ketamine may cause psychosis, a mental illness that causes a person to lose touch with reality. Frequent recreational ketamine use can lead to delusions that can last to up to one month after a person stops using it.14

Long-term use of ketamine may cause gastrointestinal problems, including abdominal pain sometimes called k-cramps5. Ketamine use can also cause ketamine-induced uropathy, a treatable but potentially serious condition that causes symptoms like those of a urinary tract infection.15,16

CNN spoke with more than a dozen members of Congress, operatives and multiple people in touch with both Obama and Pelosi, many of whom say that the end for Biden’s candidacy feels clear and at this point it’s just a matter of how it plays out, even after Thursday night’s news conference.

 

Eighty percent of voters say President Joe Biden is too old to run as former president Donald Trump now leads Biden by six points following last week’s debate, a new poll finds.
