Stephen Miller, the face of a Nazi:
"Stephen Miller memo EXPOSES plan to punish Americans with disabilities
According to Bloomberg Law, Stephen Miller was behind a DOJ memo that lets states institutionalize Americans with disabilities instead of funding the community care that allows them to remain home—undoing decades of reform and precedent."
So the #US military is now murdering first responders..

One of the best summaries of what went wrong with #US #Healthcare. No longer available from the PBS website(s) as far as I can tell. So I've taken the liberty of writing a review and posting it here with links to the original #video.
"Sick Around the World" (2008 #PBS #Frontline #Documentary)
Conclusions...
1) #Insurance companies must accept everyone, and cannot make a profit on basic care.
2) #Everybody is mandated to buy insurance, with government paying the premiums for the poor.
3) #Doctors and #Hospitals have to accept one standard set of fixed prices.

It’s named for an Indigenous people word, not for Canada, LIKE ALL THE GREAT LAKES (except for Superior), moron.

Anyone in the US searching for Lake Ontario on #GoogleMaps can no longer find it as of this weekend.
Users in the country will now see the smallest of the #GreatLakes identified as “Lake America” on that site, following #Trump’s idiotic executive order on Thursday mandating the change in how the US government refers to the lake amid his tense #trade war with #Canada.
