Actually, bill gives Homeland security emergency authority to shut down border if there are 5000 border encounters a day. Encounters track the number of times border officials stop people trying to enter US. Not the number of people who are released into the US. House republicans reject border security that they demanded in bipartisan bill. |

🤔 Age-old political question: "Are we better off today than we were 4 yrs ago?" - This day/month in history...

Many people died outside of hospital or have never been tested. Center for disease control instructs doctors to list covid on death certificate if covid conributes to death. That is, the deceased would still be alive if not for covid. Besides, excess deaths of population (beyond expectations) during 2020 to 2022 can best be explained by pandemic. |

BREAKING: More MAGA republicans in serious legal trouble for fraud, conspiracy
in Politics So far, Trump allies have been criminally charged with election fraud and conspiracy to illegally overturn 2020 election in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia and Nevada. Since republicans cannot win elections fairly, they resort to cheating. Trump constantly promotes big lie about stolen election when he is actually the biggest threat to democracy. |

Refusing to shut up so that other people can talk about policies. Resulting ugly chaos is nearly unwatchable on television. |

In House committee testimony, Archer debunked claim that Hunter Biden received $3.5 million from Baturina. Transfer was part of a real estate transaction between Archer and Baturina. CNN and Washington post fact checks confirm Hunter Biden wasn't involved. |

Huffpost reports on Biden administration new rules for airlines. Automatic refunds for flights cancelled or delayed 3-6 hours. Also disclosure of extra fees before ticket purchase. By holding airlines accountable, passengers could potentially save over half a billion dollars a year. |

German chancellor and regulators stopped Nord stream II construction which later resumed while Trump was president. Biden didn't approve the project but allowed sanctions to expire since they didn't stop the project. Senate and House investigations found no evidence Joe or Hunter Biden received millions from Russian oligarch. Republicans and democrats negotiated spending cuts. US spends more on defense than next 9 countries combined. Biden still honored each of the fallen US service members at military ceremony. |

On social media X, Earth day ad denounces Trump as a climate denier whose agenda would destroy clean energy investments and devastate the planet. He claims climate change is a hoax. Contrary to a large majority of scientists worldwide. Fox news ad from Republicans against Trump group shows that no employer should hire him if he is a job hunter at a shopping mall. "If Trump with 88 felonies is too big of a liability to get a job at your local mall, he is too big of a liability to be president of the United States." |

On CNN, academy award winner Michael Douglas says that everybody in Biden's cabinet would be happy to work with him in next term. However nobody in Trump's cabinet from 2016 wants to be involved with him. On Meidas touch, former homeland security chief Miles Taylor compared Trump to mob boss Al Capone who was rich but wasn't a great business man. Even people who have been huge supporters say Trump is a total fraud. He made the US government his largest failed business venture. Trump's volatility and corrupt nature made it difficult for government to function. A second term would be dangerous for US economy. |

This is a war of attrition by design. Putin has made no effort to "destroy and conquer Ukraine" because that is not and was not ever his goal. If Russia wanted to take ALL of Ukraine they easily could've done so but it would've resulted in way much collateral damage (Cities and civilians). Russia wants to control other countries. Russian disinformation to weaken Ukraine support has influenced congress republicans as revealed by House intelligence and foreign committees. Since Russia failed to capture Ukraine capitol as planned, both countries have been forced into a war of attrition. Russia has been targeting Ukraine cities and civilians. Putin's doesn't want peace. Instead he wants to destroy any perceived threat to his rule. If Ukraine lose, the risk of more war is greater according to Institute for study of war. Most European countries have joined NATO because of the threat of Russia. Neighbors know Russia better than other countries. In contrast, NATO is a defensive alliance and poses no threat to Europe. However Russia has invaded Ukraine, Georgia and other countries. |

Clear victory for democrats with republicans losing what they wanted most. When republicans rejected senate bipartisan bill earlier, they lost their best chance at determining border security. Now GOP new border bill failed in 215 to 199 vote because two-third majority is required. However all aid packages passed by bigger majorities. |

Under proposed bill, homeland security department is given power to shutdown border if border encounters exceed 5000 daily. Under current law, border cannot be shutdown without a emergency such as a pandemic. Courts have ruled immigration isn't an invasion. Border patrol stop most migrants. But there is not supposed to be zero immigration. |
