Could be a boon for the sugar beet farmers, but it isn't mentioned.

Can't imagine how the budget talks will go this fall/winter. Dems, '---- off, you can't be trusted.' Took a long time to learn that lesson.

It's not corruption if done in the open.

Anyone ever been to this hotel? I haven't considered traveling to Haiti since my first trip to another country (Canada) 50 years ago. Has it been safe to travel there during our lifetimes?

JaJa, Read the headline as Any Other Moron President.

That's extra special because the guys are wearing skirts!

I don't think Cruz would have the courage to hold a derringer.

Cruz inserted language into the Republicans' "big beautiful" reconciliation bill, prior to its signing by Donald Trump on Friday, that eliminates a $150m fund to "accelerate advances and improvements in research, observation systems, modeling, forecasting, assessments, and dissemination of information to the public" around weather forecasting.
A further $50m in Noaa grants to study climate-related impacts on oceans, weather systems and coastal ecosystems was also removed. Cruz was contacted by the Guardian with questions about these cuts and his trip to Greece.
Environmental groups said the slashed funding is just the latest blow to federal agencies tasked with predicting and responding to disasters such as the Texas flood. More than 600 employees have exited the National Weather Service amid a Trump administration push to shrink the government workforce, leaving many offices short-staffed of meteorologists and other support workers."

That is fair game for criticism. He is deserving of an old British draw and quartering for many of his political votes. Where he went on vacation, MEH.

Our center had flourished. With staffing cuts that have occurred and are threatened morale is poor. The physical won't show signs of the change for awhile, but it is an aging structure that needs constant attention.

He's a U.S. Senator. I don't understand the need for him to present. Tots and prayers can be sent from anywhere, and as a sitting senator that is about all he has to offer.

Been hearing that for 30 years.

I've been going there for 25 years. They had made a lot of improvements, both physical and in staffing. Now the grumbling is much greater than in the past.

There is a lot of anger and frustration at the VA I go to for care. Both staff and service members. Anecdotal, perhaps happening at other facilities as well.
Many of the Veterans working at the VA are in a type of job corps supported position because they do not succeed out in the 'real world.' Many will remain unemployed after they are let go. Housing assistance for Veterans are also being cut so they won't have that to fall back on either.

All gave some, some gave all, one had bone spurs.

Go to the 1918 parts of old Cemetaries and you will find quite a cluster.

When traveling abroad I use my 'Fargo' accent and say I am from Southern Canada.

Why do the same people that disparaged Jill Biden's doctorate continue to call McGraw 'doctor.' He was (no longer licensed) a psychologist, not a 'real doctor.'

Catdog, what is the thresh hold for number of attacks. Assaults on nurses and staff occur daily.
I have heard of anything brewing that might breakout in a pandemic that soon, but Covid went from 'it will go away' to a panic in 60 days.

What an odd headline. This is really a collection of various crimes from various jurisdictions. Not one scheme.

Hope he didn't die a virgin.

Agree Truth, all it takes is a rouge prosecutor to ruin someone's day. Or in Texas case, the AG.

#1, don't forget the breast feeding mamacitas. Much less scary than a convicted murderer.

This could hurt a lot more than a few missiles tossed at Quatar.
