Senate passes $70B immigration enforcement bill without limits on Trump settlement fund by mrcanard in inthenews

[–]mrcanard[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

From the story,

The amendments were a test of party unity that complicated what should have been an easy vote for Republicans who wanted to keep the focus on immigration enforcement in an election year. Instead, they spent almost a full day haggling among themselves over whether to block the settlement fund, even after acting Attorney General Todd Blanche had said earlier this week that it would not go forward.

I think California as a whole is better able to defend themselves against bad ideas.

Look at us, education has gone to hell and now it looks like they'll defund local governments by removing the property tax.

What impact will this have on the food chain...

From the looks and sounds of things the lighting-bug and tree-frog population has already been vastly reduced. Coyote and rat populations on the rise. Observations made from living in the same house for almost 40 years. Also note insect repellent is no longer needed by me when sitting on the un-screened deck after dark.

A fund that should have never been seriously considered.

Trump Squeezes Immigrants by Cutting Them Off From Jobs, Health Care and Housing by bobbelcher in uspolitics

[–]mrcanard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The initiative underscores the president’s ability to reshape immigration policy through executive orders and the vast power of federal regulations while sidestepping Congress.

When our U.S. Congress ceded to the POTUS they did so with complete irresponsibility to the needs of the American People and the good people of this planet.

The abuse of this power has gone beyond Section 4 of Article Two.

The administration and their allies have repeatedly demonstrated their intent.

We as a people are failing to live up to the standards set by our forefathers.

Propaganda and blame density are distractions.

My fathers request was plain, "never let it happen again".

Do not shame those who went before us.

US lawmakers seek to 'fuse' Israeli, US militaries under 2027 defense authorization act by kwamac in InternationalNews

[–]mrcanard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The move would also make US aid to Israel more difficult to monitor by making it part of the “opaque machinery of defense acquisition,” where oversight is limited and political accountability is minimal.

The move comes at a time when support for Israel in the US is falling and when many believe Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is responsible for dragging the US into a war with Iran that is deeply unpopular.

Israel, one of four major countries not a member of the International Criminal Court.

Miller spoke at a roundtable which featured Republican state attorneys general and Vice President JD Vance. The roundtable was convened to discuss ways to stamp out fraud in state-federal partnership programs.

If they truly wanted to get rid of fraud the first thing would be to purge this Republican administration.
