Millions of Americans are at risk of losing their Medicaid coverage in coming months, but residents in Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, New Hampshire and South Dakota will be the first to bear the brunt of the terminations.

one thing almost all american politicians seem to agree on is that sick people should lose everything they have

i'm not going to blame biden directly but his fecklessness definitely doesn't help

Lebanese-Canadian professor tried for 1980 Paris synagogue attack


Which reminds me of an even more astonishing story from 1982, where the French authorities entrapped three Irish radicals to show that they're being proactive against terrorism and to avoid prosecuting the real culprits

The new law will allow anyone who can legally own a gun in Florida to carry one without a permit. It means training and a background check will not be required to carry concealed guns in public. It takes effect July 1.

It's not all of us, I don't even think it's most of us, but the people who support this stuff have a disproportionately loud voice in our government.
