US Senate fails to pass war powers resolution to limit Trump's use of military force in Iran

The war powers vote in the US Senate has just failed in a 47-52 vote - with lawmakers taking their votes almost entirely down party lines. In the end, Senator Rand Paul joined the Democrats to vote yes on limiting Trump's military powers in Iran, with Senator John Fetterman joining the Republicans to vote no. Republican Texas Senator John Cornyn missed the vote after his primary election contest last night.

1:1 Labor Exchanges?

This is what I was ruminating on when I couldn't get back to sleep at OMFGo'clock.

What if people with Medicaid who aren't currently employed *hire each other at equal salaries for 20 hrs/week? It would be a huge pain in the ass, but would it work to keep (some) disabled people from losing their coverage?

I know some of the folks it wouldn't work for: those too poor to make it feasible, those without the spoons to deal with the additional hoop-jumping. But could this work for anyone?

Boosts and input appreciated.

*As independent contractors.
