And that's completely fine and none of our business Right. Just corroborating. Sorry, I didn't mean for that to be directed at you. I meant the people who were so up in arms about them staying in NY.

Hatch is up H1B Visas (sponsored for green cards) Dept is preparing rescind. the 2015 rule was pretty sensible. and same thought as Hatchs own legislation why are you rescinding? KN We're looking at all the visa programs. we need to look holistically. shes going to get back to him specifically on H1B.

Steve Inskeep was ON POINT giving an interview on "merit-based immigration" this morning. He started by flat out stating the president made "racist" comments about Haiti and Africa, then went on to challenge every racist or problematic thing said by his interviewee. I was laughing it was so good. Trump Adviser Krikorian Backs Shift To Merit-Based ImmigrationMH agreed it was satisfying but also thought it wasn't very journalistic. I see that, but I argued that Inskeep's job is to be an interviewer: to present counter-arguments and draw out assumptions, as well as every journalist's prerogative to call out lies or half-truths. I've always respected Inskeep's integrity; he was tough interviewing Obama, too. I also think it is clear that the media professionals I follow are getting increasingly impatient with this administration and are not willing to give it a megaphone without checks. And that's especially important when things are getting racist. Wouldn't it be complacent and against journalistic ethics to clear the way for propaganda? Interested in y'all's thoughts.

This was part of the conversation on the latest PSA. There's a desire among MSM to appear "balanced" but it's not as simple as being "balanced" when racism or outright lies are at play.

The DC Council is holding an oversight hearing at 11 with the United Medical Center Director of the Board. "The Committee shall examine the recent decision of the Board to permanently close obstetrical services at United Medical Center, as well as the progress that has been made on addressing serious patient safety, financial, and managerial issues at the hospital." This is the hospital in Ward 8 (highly segregated area of the city) that has been so problematic and controversial. Latest gossip is that they were planning to close their OB ward before the Department of Health stepped in to close them, which raises a lot of new questions. dccouncil.us/events/health-public-oversight-roundtable3 (When they start, the link to the live video will be on that site.) Signaling crunch cakewench byjove Uncaripswife dc2london and others I'm forgetting who followed my rant on the subject a few weeks ago.

"The concept and the context" was that POTUS doesn't want quotas. "The president used tough language, as did other congressmen in the room."

Whitehouse is asking about Russian interference (the whole scope) are you focusing on that or just the changing the vote at the machine.
We're looking at the Russian propaganda as you called it.
Do you have a better name for it. LOL
You are comfortable that you can protect America from all the ways I mentioned? No thats not what I said. why not DHS does not play that role because that is state and local we only provide guidance. So DHS has no role? We're providing risk assessment but its up to the states.
