House narrowly passes budget resolution containing $100B for defense

The House budget resolution would add about $3 trillion to the deficit in a decade while mandating deep cuts that threaten to significantly shrink Medicaid and food programs for low-income people. It also calls for the debt limit to be raised by $4 trillion.

Democrats decried the blueprint as a “betrayal of the middle class.”

Rep. Mark Takano of California, the top Democrat on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, said the plan would harm 9 million veterans that rely on Medicaid for health insurance coverage and more than 1 million veterans who use the SNAP food assistance program, formerly known as food stamps.

He said the Republican budget blueprint would also “take a chainsaw” to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The resolution does not specify exact cuts, but it mandates committees find $2 trillion in total spending reductions to finance tax cuts or reduce the amount of the tax cuts.

Couple euthanasia is a modern sati.

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Couple euthanasia is a modern sati.

The article titled: Duo-euthanasia: To avoid facing life alone, focuses on how the spouse of a person who dies by euthanasia will often experience complicated grief and will have a higher potential rate of premature death. The article states:

For some individuals, euthanasia or physician-assisted dying (aka PAD or EAS) presents an option to end one’s life with some control and dignity while minimizing pain and suffering. Whether they are experiencing severe chronic pain, mobility challenges, or serious illness such as cancer, these people may be intrigued by the possibility of euthanasia or physician-assisted dying.

But for the surviving spouses, facing the future without their lifelong partner can feel overwhelming, and their quality of life may plummet.

Together We Win: Letter to workers for unity with IUAFS.

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Dear comrade!

Someone wants to kill you, to rob you, and you will be next!

You are being addressed by Derzhava, a Ukrainian Political Party banned by the neo-Nazi government of Zelensky. Most of the media lies and hides from you the fact that your government openly supports Zelensky’s fascists, openly helps neo-Nazis and actually preaches fascism itself, directing efforts to exterminate as many people as possible.
