Less than a week after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to halt government payments that subsidize insurance plans for low-income Americans, Senate leaders agreed "in principle" to a bill that would cover the payments for two years.
Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee announced Tuesday that he reached an agreement with Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., the committee's ranking member. The senators each made brief presentations on the deal at lunches with their respective parties.
According to one source with knowledge of the bill, the agreement contains $160 million to restore outreach and enrollment funding for the Affordable Care Act.
Trump commented on the prospect of a deal on the payments during a joint press conference with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras Tuesday afternoon, claiming that the White House has been involved in negotiations, but called it a "short-term solution."
"It will get us over this intermediate hump," said Trump, who continued by claiming that Republicans "have" or "are very close to having" the votes to eventually pass their long-held goal of a comprehensive reform bill.
I actually think that last part is becoming less true everyday as the American people become more and more concerned at what will happen if the Republicans actually succeed in repealing Obamacare.
And speaking of Obamacare it seems a little odd to hear that the White House has been involved in this deal. Especially considering what Trump said just the other day.
Well apparently there IS still such a thing as Obamacare, and it appears that the Republicans are becoming more and more afraid of touching it.President Trump: “Obamacare is finished. It's dead. It’s gone …. There is no such thing as Obamacare any more” https://t.co/CLbWiYUkSp— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) October 16, 2017

Sci-fi Author Shuts Down Anti-Abortion Activists With The One Question None Of Them Will Answer
ReplyDeleteScience fiction author Patrick S. Tomlinson this week explained how opponents of abortion rights can be shut down with one simple question about whether 1,000 embryos are more important than the life of a single child.
In a series of tweets on Monday, Tomlinson revealed the scenario that he says has repeatedly stumped so-called pro-life activists.
Tomlinson said that he asks abortion opponents whether it makes more sense to save one child from a burning building or a vial of 1,000 embryos.
"They will never answer honestly, because we all instinctively understand the right answer is "A." A human child is worth more than a thousand embryos. Or ten thousand. Or a million. Because they are not the same, not morally, not ethically, not biologically," he wrote. "This question absolutely evicerates their arguments, and their refusal to answer confirms that they know it to be true."
"No one, anywhere, actually believes an embryo is equivalent to a child. That person does not exist. They are lying to you," he added.
On Tuesday, Tomlinson said that he woke up to a "thousand" of new followers.
"Holy crap," he wrote. "I literally wake up and there's another thousand of you. Welcome new followers. I write books and yell at the alt-right on social media."

Trump official halts abortions among undocumented, pregnant teens
ReplyDeleteThe Trump administration is preventing an undocumented, pregnant teenager detained in a Brownsville refugee shelter from getting an abortion in a policy shift with big implications for hundreds of other pregnant, unaccompanied minors held in such shelters.
She is not the first to be stopped, according to advocates who work with undocumented teenagers.
For the last seven months, the Health and Human Services Department has intervened to prevent abortions sought by girls at federally funded shelters, even in cases of rape and incest and when the teen had a way to pay for the procedure. The agency has instead forced minors to visit crisis pregnancy centers, religiously affiliated groups that counsel women against having abortions, according to documents obtained by POLITICO, interviews with sources involved in the Brownsville case and those familiar with the agency’s policy.
In some cases, a senior HHS official has personally visited or called pregnant teens to try to talk them out of ending their pregnancies.
“There is a pattern of unconstitutional overreach of power in a minor’s abortion decision,” said the teen's lawyer, Brigitte Amiri of the ACLU.
The ACLU brought suit on Friday on behalf of the 17-year-old in the Brownsville shelter, contending HHS has barred the girl, now about 14 weeks pregnant, from getting the abortion even though she got a judge’s permission to have it without parental consent and has obtained the money to pay for it.
...But officials at the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is part of HHS, refused to transport her to her abortion appointment, instead taking her to a crisis pregnancy center, and calling her mother in her home country to tell her about the pregnancy, according to the ACLU suit and Amiri.
“What’s especially disturbing for us about this case, is that the child is in the custody of ORR [the Office of Refugee Resettlement], so she has no other choice, and she is stuck in a form of custody or detention,” said Michelle Brane of the Women’s Refugee Commission.

who is going to take care of that baby? not the right to lifers, who care for babies end at the moment the fetus leaves the birth cannel. no welfare for you, slut!!(the movement is run by men).
DeleteThey’re dragging their feet until it’s too late.
DeletePersonally, I think every one of this assholes should have to adopt every one of these babies.
If you want to stop an abortion, you sign a contract right there that you, PERSONALLY, will be adopting that child. It should be iron clad, binding and you pay for every fucking thing. Every doctor’s appointment, the hospital, the whole thing. And no changing your mind if the kid is born with any sort of abnormality or defect. It’s your child from the moment of “conception”, just like you want to force on others.
We should make a list. Have them put their names on it sorta like the draft. For every baby they force to be born against the mother’s will, the next person on the list gets a new child for life and pays all costs associated with it.
Then let’s see if they decide to provide free birth control. Because if you’re anti-abortion you should be pro birth control. Rather stupid to be against both. (Unless you’re a quiverfull lunatic.)

ReplyDeleteAsked why it had been nearly two weeks and Trump still had not mentioned the four U.S. troops killed in an ISIS ambush in Niger, let alone contacted their families, Trump only said, “It gets to a point where, you know, you make four or five of them in one day, it’s a very, very tough day.”
DeleteTuesday, Starr provided the succinct reply: “You send troops into combat as the commander in chief, it is supposed to be tough.”
Trump claimed he wrote letters to the families over the weekend and that they would be sent out in a “a day or two.” But prior to the questions from the press Monday, Trump had not mentioned the soldiers’ deaths or honored their sacrifice.
Speaking with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, Starr stressed that however “tough” making those calls is for Trump, it is infinitely worse for families to be notified that their loved ones have been killed in action.
“The president talked about it being tough on him. Well, you know, it is tough on the families,” she stated.
https://shareblue.com/its-supposed-to-be-tough-pentagon-reporter-nails-trumps-cowardly-excuse-for-troop-silence/
The Trump White House is orchestrating a smear campaign against President Barack Obama to distract from Trump's deplorable treatment of the families of soldiers killed in Niger.
Delete...White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been identified as the administration figure who is pushing and confirming Trump’s attack on Obama, where he claimed Obama did not call the families of fallen soldiers.
Sanders has peddled the smear to multiple media outlets, including Fox News, Axios, ABC, and NBC. The Daily Beast reported that “senior White House officials signed off on this specific line of attack as legitimate communications strategy,” but did not want their names attached to the smear campaign.
...The White House-directed smear campaign comes almost precisely a week after Trump laughed and joked during a solemn military ceremony honoring the flag and those who have died to defend it — while at a military base.
His actions show that Trump is more than willing to denigrate and belittle the military to shield himself from criticism and condemnation he earned on his own.

Does Trump Have Any Idea What's Going on with Obamacare?
ReplyDeleteThe president gave his blessing to a bill that undoes his own executive order.
The guiding principle of Donald Trump’s governance seems to ricochet between brinkmanship, indecision, and ignorance—and his recent two-pronged attack on Obamacare is no exception. Last week, the president announced that he would be ending subsidies to insurance companies that help low-income Americans afford insurance, plunging millions of Americans into uncertainty regarding their health coverage. Since then, the White House has broadcast a series of conflicting messages about Obamacare's fate, throwing the president's own grasp of the situation into doubt.

Fake art.
ReplyDelete...While this story is comical and sad and utterly bizarre on so many levels, it’s also emblematic of Trump’s very essence. “He believes his own lies in a way that lasts for decades,” O’Brien told me. “He’ll tell the same stories time and time again, regardless of whether or not facts are right in front of his face.” And, as O’Brien points out, that’s what makes Trump so dangerous in his current war with the media around so-called fake news. “Its foundation is that he’s the final arbiter of what is true and what isn’t,” O’Brien said, “and it’s one of the reasons that he’s so dangerous.”

WTF? Why are they doing this? Social engineering, like Katrina? This is horrific!
DeletePuerto Ricans drink water from a hazardous-waste site - CNN
Jose Luis Rodriguez waited in line Friday to fill plastic jugs in the back of his pickup truck with water for drinking, doing the dishes and bathing.
But there is something about this water Rodriguez didn't know: It was being pumped to him by water authorities from a federally designated hazardous-waste site, CNN learned after reviewing Superfund documents and interviewing federal and local officials.
Rodriguez, 66, is so desperate for water that this news didn't startle him.
"I don't have a choice," he said. "This is the only option I have."
...Friday afternoon, CNN watched workers from the Puerto Rican water utility, Autoridad de Acueductos y Alcantarillados, or AAA, distribute water from a well at the Dorado Groundwater Contamination Site, which was listed in 2016 as part of the federal Superfund program for hazardous waste cleanup.
Residents like Rodriguez filled small bottles from a hose and piled them in their vehicles. Large trucks with cylindrical tanks on their backs carried the water to people elsewhere. Some of the trucks carried the name of the municipality of Dorado. Others simply were labeled with the words "Agua Potable," Spanish for potable water.
In announcing the addition of the Dorado site to the Superfund program, the US Environmental Protection Agency says the area was polluted with industrial chemicals, including tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene, which "can have serious health impacts including damage to the liver and increasing the risk of cancer," according to the EPA.
EPA 'gathering more information'
It's unclear whether there are public health risks from this particular well, however.
The EPA said it plans to do testing in the area over the weekend.
"The EPA is gathering more information about the quality of water from the wells associated with our Dorado groundwater contamination site, as well as other Superfund sites in Puerto Rico," the agency said in a statement issued to CNN on Friday. "While some of these wells are sometimes used to provide drinking water, the EPA is concerned that people could be drinking water that may be contaminated, depending on the well. We are mindful of the paramount job of protecting people's health, balanced with people's basic need for water."
Regional EPA spokesman Elias Rodriguez confirmed the location is part of a Superfund site.

Wilson said the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson was upset after the call.
“She looked at me and she, ‘He didn’t even know his name.’ That’s the worst part," she said.
A good way to punish those that enabled the CRIME of the century besides arrest, conviction and prison would be to strip ALL assets of each and force them to live in poverty and ask for public assistance. Let them feel and live what it is like to crawl out of poverty.
