  13. The change would create the only federal subsidy to pay #parents to stay home & raise their children, one of the most significant efforts to date by the #Trump admin to harness federal funds to promote a #traditional view of #families.

    To do so, officials are seeking to use a #HHS fund that was created in the 1990s to help #LowIncome & #WorkingClass parents afford #childcare so they could work or go to school.

  18. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    Of all forms of tyranny the least attractive and the most vulgar is the tyranny of mere wealth, the tyranny of a plutocracy.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Autobiography, ch. 22 “The Big Stick and the Square Deal” (1913)

  19. #factCheck
    Claim by Senator Duckworth: “9% of American citizens don’t have the identification that the SAVE act requires to vote. Almost 1 in 10.”

    PolitiFact rating: Mostly True
    A 2023 national survey found about 9% of U.S. adult citizens either lack or cannot readily access documentary proof of citizenship, and a similar share lack a nonexpired driver’s license. However, the figure includes people who may have documents but cannot easily access them, and the survey was not limited specifically to registered voters.

    politifact.com/factchecks/2026

    > Democrats opposing the SAVE America Act, which would require certain documents to register to vote and cast a ballot, point to a study showing 9% of adult U.S. citizens would have difficulty with those requirements.

  20. "#DOGE wants businesses to run #US #government services ‘as much as possible’"

    #MailDelivery

    #Musk is going to have First Class Parcel Post (if not all mail) taken over by #Amazon and #JeffBezos

    OK: don't know about urban ZIP codes, but in the rural (10K residents) ZIP code I live in, the #USPS is already doing last mile delivery for #AmazonPrime

    An Amazon truck drops off Amazon Prime parcels at the PO back door and the parcels are carted inside and sorted into delivery routes carried out by USPS drivers

    Big problem is, most USPS drivers will not leave their trucks to deliver to front doors - all Prime parcels are dropped atop the street-side mail box stands

    But I don't have street mail delivery so I have to get into my car, drive to the Post Office, park, wait in line to get up to the counter, only to be handed a Prime order that UPS would have dropped on my doormat two days earlier

    #ElonMusk’s effort is pushing #privatization — a longtime goal for #Republicans & for #SiliconValley alike — across #FederalAgencies

    #Mail delivery. Federal #RealEstate. #ForeignAid grants. The #Trump admin is moving to privatize a sweeping number of govt functions & assets….

  23. A quotation from Martial:

    «««««
    If you’re poor now, my friend, then you’ll stay poor.
    These days only the rich get given more.
    [Semper eris pauper, si pauper es, Aemiliane;
    Dantur opes nulli nunc, nisi divitibus.]
    »»»»»
