CNN anchor Kate Bolduan pressed Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) over the ongoing partial government shutdown on Tuesday morning, saying Americans nationwide are “feeling like you guys just don’t get it.”
Bolduan confronted Clark about the shutdown , which has led to DHS not being funded and spurred miserable hours-long security lines at airports, when the congresswoman appeared on CNNNews Central.
The anchor said the 44-day shutdown looks especially bad to the public when pictures of lawmakers eenjoying their two-week recess are popping up. You guys just don’t get it,”
Bolduan said. “I mean, over and over again, this is not the first shutdown that they’ve been dealing with. And at some point this will get fixed — how much pain will be felt and how that lingers is unclear.”
Comment:
I am not sure who the Democrats are working for? Just a thought.
Two U.S. naturalized citizens had that status revoked by the Department of Justice this week as part of a push by the Trump administration to denaturalize those whom it accused of gaining citizenship while concealing crimes or committing fraud.
DOJ officials announced Thursday they had secured the denaturalization of the two individuals — a Ukrainian native and Florida resident who was found to be involved in smuggling weapons out of the United States and a Cuban woman convicted of swindling more than $6 million in fraudulent Medicare claims while also living in Florida.
“American citizenship is a sacred privilege — not a cheap status that can be obtained dishonestly,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X.
“Today’s denaturalization actions reflect this Department of Justice’s ongoing efforts to strip citizenship from people who conceal crimes or defraud the American people during the immigration process.” Just a thought.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and some of his rank-and-file members are articulating increasingly discordant ideas of what "due process" looks like for Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.).
Some Democrats are prepared to call for Cherfilus-McCormick to resign or be expelled as soon as the Ethics Committee makes its determination, Axios reported Wednesday.
But Jeffries and his leadership team have signaled they will continue to defend Cherfilus-McCormick until the resolution of her federal criminal trial, which starts on April 20 and could go on much longer.
The nature of the allegations against Cherfilus-McCormick is of such an explosive and sensitive nature that some Democrats feel compelled to eject her sooner rather than later. She is accused both by the Ethics Committee and in her federal indictment of laundering a $5 million FEMA overpayment to her family's health care company and using it to fund her congressional campaign.
Additional allegations include tax fraud and campaign finance violations. She faces up to 53 years in prison if convicted at trial.
Comment: The party is expanding to include everyone who is ... Just a thought.
Getting married and being single are not the same; they offer distinct, often opposing, lifestyles, benefits, and challenges.
Marriage typically provides shared finances, companionship, and long-term security, while singleness often offers higher autonomy, personal growth, and stronger social ties.
Both can lead to a fulfilled life depending on individual goals.
Married people often experience higher levels of reported well-being and emotional support, benefiting from a "built-in" partner.
Marriage generally involves combining financial responsibilities and, often, navigating family life together.
Studies show that single people tend to be better at maintaining ties with friends, neighbors, and coworkers than their married counterparts.
Single: Unmatched flexibility, time for self-discovery, and lower risk of divorce-related financial or emotional strain.
Married: Potential for better economic conditions, shared burdens, and a consistent partner to share life's milestone.
