Kennedy told NPR that Trump expects him to show “measurable impacts on a diminishment of chronic disease within two years.”My jokey response is chronic disease will go down when half of us are dead from infectious diseases. My sincere response is to wonder if they will change parameters of what constitutes a chronic disease. Of course they will. All those people with chronic diseases could die sooner with no health care.. infections will only exacerbate the situation. Also wipe out the elderly too . |

Trump seems to have forgotten Covid already.

Some things that would improve our country's mental and physical health a lot are to limit the number of hours we work, to have more vacation time, more support for child raising, more time for cooking and eating in a relaxed manner, and more sleep.
I'll be interested to see which of those things this administration will focus on, if public health is a concern now.
(Hint: none of them. Republicans invented grind culture to keep those wage slaves' noses to the grindstone so they can better enrich their corporate overlords.)

Laying out the plans... Stephen Miller et all.. On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out,” Trump told supporters during his infamous Madison Square Garden rally last month. But deporting millions is not the president-elect's only anti-immigration goal. Trump's incoming White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Stephen Miller, who is the architect of the "zero tolerance" family separation program in his first term, has bigger plans. Miller, according The New York Times, has said that "military funds would be used to build 'vast holding facilities that would function as staging centers' for immigrants as their cases progressed and they waited to be flown to other countries."*** Trump's team "also plans to expand a form of due-process-free expulsions known as expedited removal, which is currently used near the border for recent arrivals, to people living across the interior of the country who cannot prove they have been in the United States for more than two years." And in another example of the Trump team appearing to want to make life in the United States unbearable for the undocumented, The Times reported Monday the Trump administration plans to "stop issuing citizenship-affirming documents, like passports and Social Security cards, to infants born on domestic soil to undocumented migrant parents in a bid to end birthright citizenship.""This time, instead of directly pressuring undocumented adults to flee, some immigration opponents are threatening access to school for their children. It’s a nuclear option — requiring the reversal of a Supreme Court ruling that has been a linchpin of educational rights for four decades — that some of Trump’s allies on the right are quietly building support for." *** Constitutional law professor and political scientist Anthony Michael Kreis last week said, "Birthright citizenship is a foundational concept in American constitutional law. It is a betrayal of the 14th Amendment to suggest otherwise or that it can be discarded with ease. We settled any doubt about this in Wong Kim Ark in 1898. We should not budge one solitary inch."But Trump himself has declared, "going forward, the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship."That would, as Professor Kreis notes, directly contradicts the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which also bans Americans who "have engaged in insurrection" from holding office. www.rawstory.com/trumps-plan-to-defy-14th-amendment-no-passports-for-children-of-undocumented-parents/ |

The tax cuts will be for the rich. So we have a political party that will cut food and medical care for the poor do the can cut taxes for the rich. Aaron Rupar… “House Republicans who have been on Fox this morning are not denying that they are interested in cutting Medicaid and food stamps to pay for more tax cuts.” x.com/atrupar/status/1858899614256054647?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |
