This disturbing budget would turn the United States into a coarser nation, making life harder for most of those struggling to get by but more luxurious for those at the very top.  Most Americans do not seek a new Gilded Age.Robert Greenstein

“These are difficult moments for American people, They are throwing their hands up and they are living in despair. What you understand is now is not the time to give up. Now is the time to fight back.”Sanders, who campaigned in Missoula and won Montana’s Democratic presidential primary here, addressed a crowd of roughly 4,000 people at the Adams Center.

“Billionaires like the Koch brothers have spent hundreds of millions of dollars all over this country to elect candidates who will support the wealthy and the powerful,And that is why I have so much respect for Rob. Because he is turning his back on raising money that way. His average contribution is 25 bucks. All over Montana people are responding.” Bernie Sanders

Robert S. Mueller III, a former prosecutor who served as the FBI director from 2001 to 2013, has agreed to take over the investigation as a special counsel, Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein announced.

Rosenstein said in a statement that he concluded that “it is in the public interest for me to exercise my authorities and appoint a special counsel to assume responsibility for this matter.”“My decision is not a finding that crimes have been committed or that any prosecution is warranted,” Mr. Rosenstein added. “I have made no such determination.”

In a statement, President DJ Trump said, “As I have stated many times, a thorough investigation will confirm what we already know — there was no collusion between my campaign and any foreign entity. I look forward to this matter concluding quickly. In the meantime, I will never stop fighting for the people and the issues that matter most to the future of our country.” NYT

The president’s authority in foreign affairs, as in all areas, is rooted in Article II of the Constitution.Presidents also rely on other clauses to support their foreign policy actions, particularly those that bestow “executive power” and the role of “commander in chief of the army and navy” on the office. From this language springs a wide array of associated or “implied” powersFor instance, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (1977) authorizes the president to impose economic sanctions on foreign entities.Presidents also cite case law to support their claims of authority. In particular, two U.S. Supreme Court decisions—United States. v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corporation (1936) and Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company v. Sawyer (1952)—are touchstones.Council on Foreign Relations.

Wisconsin's comprehensive dental benefit is considered one of the best in the nation. According to the National Academy for State Health Policy, four states don't offer any dental insurance to Medicaid beneficiaries, and another 15 offer only emergency care.

Still, most dentists in Wisconsin, and across the country, don't accept patients on Medicaid because they say the reimbursement rates are too low. The Wisconsin Dental Association says Medicaid pays only about 35 percent of the dentists' costs.

A report released this month by the Goldwater Institute and the Texas Public Policy Foundation found that of Arizona’s 7 million residents, 2.4 million as of Jan. 1 lived in areas designated as dental-health-professional shortage areas, which means one or fewer dentists per 5,000 people.Dental therapists are “mid-level providers,” similar to the role that physician assistants and nurse practitioners play in the medical world. They are allowed in Minnesota, Maine and Vermont, on tribal land in Washington, Oregon and Alaska, and in some other countries including Australia and New Zealand.

Kids form their Perspectives at an early age

This is the first in a series of books aimed at teaching children life's lessons while they're very young.   "It's Good to Be Me" is for children of all races and the very simple lesson is the color of your skin has nothing to do with who you are or what's inside of you.
