Ha'aretz: The efforts of the committed far right, funded and directed out of the US, are committed to perpetual war with Israel's neighbors, a ballooning national security state and little evidence of democracy or of rule of law institutions. Democracy in Israel already hangs by a slender thread.

This is blatantly unconstitutional and an Antideficiency Act violation. Congress set the ADA penalty in 1906: 2 years in jail and/or a $5,000 fine. It would’ve taken the typical person 31,250 hours of work to pay the fine then, meaning it’s the equivalent of a $1.2 million fine today.

Project 2025 Takes Shape In Latin America’s Far-Right Governments - PopularResistance.Org
The expansion of the far right in Latin America is giving continental form to Project 2025—the anti-democratic Republican plan drafted by the Heritage Foundation with the support of more than 100 Christian nationalist organizations in the United States and various officials close to Donald Trump. Although Trump distanced himself from Project 2025 before the 2024 elections, in the first year alone of his administration, he approved close to half of its policies, and they are now being implemented by the governments of Javier Milei in Argentina, José Antonio Kast in Chile, Abelardo de la Espriella in Colombia, Laura Fernández in Costa Rica, Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, Nasry Asfura in Honduras, and Keiko Fujimori in Peru.

12/ Democrats did not create this federal work mandate. Republicans did. And Indiana shows why that distinction matters. The GOP passed the rule, then a Republican-controlled state chose an implementation that can make people prove they were compliant before they even knew they would need help.

10/ This is where instability becomes dangerous. Mental illness can flare and recede. Substance-use disorders are episodic. Homeless people lose documents. Low-wage workers have irregular schedules. A diagnosis code may exist while the evidence needed to satisfy the state does not.

9/ Indiana has not even finished defining that medical-frailty gate. Its own guidance says the state is still working with CMS on how to decide whether a condition “significantly impairs” someone’s ability to comply. The proof requirement is arriving before the standard is settled.

8/ Now think about someone who became seriously ill in November but had no insurance. They may reach January needing Medicaid precisely because they could not afford medical care. Then Indiana may demand documentation showing that the untreated condition kept them from meeting the work rule.

6/ And there are really three separate ways to lose. You can fail to meet the work rule. You can meet it but fail to prove it. Or you can be unable to work because of illness or disability but fail to produce the documentation Indiana demands to prove you deserve an exemption. Thank a Republican.

5/ That creates a cruel trap. The very events that make someone need Medicaid can also make them fail the test for Medicaid. Lose a job. Get sick. Become homeless. Leave an abusive relationship. Care for someone in crisis. Those months can now become evidence against you.
