This also sums up the American healthcare experience pretty well. American healthcare is a travesty. This is the bad place.

Incredible: another Ukrainian famine is unfolding, this time in Russian-occupied Oleshky. The remaining inhabitants of what used to be a thriving small city, now down to about 6000 people, are blockaded by Russian forces and cut off from food and water. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Hey @durbin.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com. There may in theory be a case for the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (CORCA). But the idea of expanding DHS/ICE's power NOW through this surveillance bill is nuts. So don't add it to the NDAA. Withdraw your support. No new powers for DHS and ICE.

This is exactly why Texans need to take the screwworm threat seriously. What starts with livestock can quickly affect pets, wildlife, and the food supply that families depend on. We need an aggressive response before this becomes a larger crisis.

Overlaid text reads: “FDA issues emergency use authorization to treat dogs, cats with screwworm.” The KXAN logo appears in the upper left corner, and an AP Photo credit appears in the lower right corner.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...
Provisions Subject to a 60-Vote Byrd Rule Point of Order

Energy and Natural Resources

NEPA compliance. These provisions deem offshore oil and gas projects as automatically compliant with the National Environmental Policy Act, nullifying these projects' environmental review processes. (Subsection

102(b)(4) and Subsection 102(b)(5))

Offshore oil and gas leasing. This subsection

requires leases to be issued to successful bidders within 90 days after the lease sale.

(Subsection 102(b)(6))

Ambler Road. This section requires the

Secretary of the Interior to permit construction of Ambler Road, a controversial mining road in Alaska. (Section 201)

Mandatory public land sales. This section mandates the unprecedented sale of millions of acres of public land, including from both Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service lands. (Section 301)Renewable energy fees. This subsection removes the Secretary of the Interior's discretion to reduce fees for solar and wind projects on Bureau of Land Management land. (Subsection 303(e))

Geothermal leasing and royalties. These sections require the Secretary of the Interior to hold yearly geothermal lease sales and purport to change how geothermal royalties are calculated. (Section 305 and Section 306)

Natural gas exports and imports. This section creates a pay-to-play regime for natural gas exports, allowing natural gas exporters to pay a fee to have their project be deemed "in the public interest," which is a requirement for approval. (Section 401)
