"The $130 million could have funded 12,790 knee or hip replacements, or 3,250 cancer or 3,625 coronary bypass surgeries, or 260,000 cataract surgeries."

This is absurd....it's a stunt, it's time wasting, it's mindless goading for a political and partisan fight no one wants to be in...the benefits are pure fabrication and the potential loss is just unstated.
This is as mindless as is whoever is giving your advice about policy

I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

The world is changing much faster than treaties and diplomacy generally seem to admit, and energy is a key variable to follow this trend.

Astonishing.
I've been tracking Trump admin corruption and self-dealing for the last 20 months.
Here are 10 stories (!!!) from just the last three weeks.
Literally. Every single one from October.

YIKES 😳 Trump snaps at a reporter asking him about why he's dismissing sexual abuse allegations 👇
WOMAN REPORTER: Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?
TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Why is Trump making so many concessions to Russia now?
I think it's three things.

Watch out BC. We may end up with racist homophobe Gunn as Premier if we go the way polls are hinting. Remember that you may be voting for a gentle & moderate-appearing Doerkson but he isn’t guaranteed to be the leader due to this snap election. You may vote lamb but may get wolf.
Disgusting! Abhorrent behaviour! This is who the BC Conservative Party emboldens and attracts. #NeverVoteConservative

ICE violently detain man legally in U.S.—refuse to look at his papers.
"I got papers right here!" man pleads.
Slam him against wooden fence as he screams in pain.
Agent tells man filming free to leave—because he's white.
"He said because I'm white he's not going to arrest me" man holding camera says.
"Just for the color of my skin... even though I'm Mexican, too."
Agents claim they tackled the man because he started running—with no other probable cause.
Incident occurred in Chicago, Illinois.

Vance: The media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The ad features Amy Acton's estranged mother disputing Acton's account of childhood homelessness, rape and abuse. Both 1978 Mahoning County court records and Acton's brother, Phillip Stearns, corroborate her account of living in a tent and abuse.
