Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse



The first punch would come from the Senate’s version of the American Health Care Act, which eliminates the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF). The PPHF, which was created in 2010 as part of the Affordable Care Act, was originally intended to supplement several core public-health programs. During the past few years, however, the PPHF has evolved to be one of the most important government programs in support of vaccines. In fiscal 2016, for example, $324 million, or about 53 percent of immunization funding to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), came from the PPHF.

The second blow will come from the president’s proposed budget, which would reduce funds for the CDC to support vaccines, to $521 million in 2018 from $606 million in 2017. Most legislators have claimed that the president’s proposed budget is dead on arrival in Congress. Nonetheless, his budget makes clear the administration doesn’t value public health. Even if the final cuts are only a fraction of what is proposed, tens of millions of dollars will no longer be available for immunizations.

...

While there is much to debate about the most efficient and effective ways to deliver health care to the American public, three things aren’t debatable: 1) Vaccines save lives, 2) Vaccines save money, and 3) Reduced support for vaccines will put children at unnecessary risk.
 


AS THE SENATE PREPARES to vote on the GOP health reform replacement bill, health care interest groups have ratcheted up the pressure, demanding answers over a process so secretive that even President Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price said last week that he has not seen a draft of the legislation.

The Los Angeles Times reported that leading patient advocacy organizations sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell last week asking for a meeting, only to be rejected over scheduling concerns. The coalition of more than 15 advocacy groups — representing doctors, hospitals, and patient advocates — asked for a meeting any time between last Friday and June 22. “A representative from McConnell’s office told them staff schedules were too busy, according to representatives of several of the organizations,” the Times reported.

McConnell is indeed busy, according to Senate Republican calendars obtained by The Intercept. The Senate majority leader and other members of the Republican leadership will be occupied this week attending multiple high-dollar fundraising events.
 




Austrian-born former Governor of California and star of the “Terminator” film franchise Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a video with France’s president Friday, in which the pair needled U.S. President Donald Trump for his stance on environmental issues.

The surprise selfie video follows Trump’s announcement on June 1 that he intends to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord, a non-binding deal that set emissions-reduction targets for 145 countries in order to combat climate change.

French President Emmanuel Macron has been outspoken in his criticism of Trump’s move, encouraging those worried about climate change to emigrate to France and deploying the slogan “Make the planet great again” — a riff on Trump’s famous presidential campaign slogan.

In today’s polarized world, there aren’t many issues on which Democrats and Republicans agree. So when they do, we should seize the rare opportunity to move our country forward. One such issue is criminal-justice reform, and specifically the need for sentencing reform for drug offenses.

All across the political spectrum, in red states and blue states, from Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) and the Koch brothers to Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and the American Civil Liberties Union, there is broad consensus that the “lock them all up and throw away the key” approach embodied in mandatory minimum drug sentences is counterproductive, negatively affecting our ability to assure the safety of our communities.

But last month, Attorney General Jeff Sessions rolled back the clock to the 1980s, reinstating the harsh, indiscriminate use of mandatory minimum drug sentences imposed at the height of the crack epidemic. Sessions attempted to justify his directive in a https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/jeff-sessions-being-soft-on-sentencing-means-more-violent-crime-its-time-to-get-tough-again/2017/06/16/618ef1fe-4a19-11e7-9669-250d0b15f83b_story.html?utm_term=.54c6c6805021 (Post op-ed last weekend), stoking fear by claiming that as a result of then-Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.’s Smart on Crime policy, the United States is gripped by a rising epidemic of violent crime that can only be cured by putting more drug offenders in jail for more time.

You must be having a rough day. Obstruction of justice. This is all that matters.e31ae881940b9b13b652640c9c7c0a84.jpg
 
Trumps on fire with his tweets, today. Showing that there is not an ounce of collusion. Even jeh johnsons confirms it the other day. So, everybody, including obama cabinet members agree there is no proof of collusion. The only proof we've gotten is that the left is absolutely insane.
