'By contrast, as Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL)—a disabled veteran and former VA assistant secretary for public and intergovernmental affairs—made clear, Collins’s request for VA in-house care, when adjusted for inflation, represents a cut in the direct care budget, which she called “an abandonment of veterans.”'

Republicans Don’t Want to Win an Immigration Policy Fight

They just want to sustain the image of an immigration crisis.

The American Prospect

From David Dayen / #AmericanProspect prospect.org:
@ddayen

“The reason is that it’s an #election year, & #Republicans have once again decided that their path to victory goes right through the U.S.-Mexico #border. Inflation & the economy were effective complaints in 2023, but they are starting to recede. Transgender rights have been a disastrously unproductive wedge issue for Republicans. But #immigration is the one area where they’ve put Joe #Biden on the back foot….”

But what really caught my eye was @ddayen's #AmericanProspect article about the judge's commentary on the state of the #aviation industry:

https://prospect.org/infrastructure/transportation/01-19-2024-how-boeing-ruined-the-jetblue-spirit-merger/

Why, after all, have Spirit and Jetblue been so ardent in pursuing mergers? Jetblue has had two failed merger attempts with Virgin, and this is the *third* time they've failed in an attempt to merge with Spirit.

How Boeing Ruined the JetBlue-Spirit Merger

The judge’s ruling in the case revealed all the deficiencies in the manufacturing and distribution of commercial air travel.

#Israel’s Dwindling Moral High Ground

“Prime Minister Bibi #Netanyahu, whose arrogance and blunders left Israel open to the #Hamas massacre, is rapidly squandering a moment of global goodwill and moral high ground. A large majority of Israelis correctly blame Netanyahu for leaving the #Gaza border defenseless by moving most of the Israeli army to defend illegal West Bank settlers who never should have been there in the first place.”
