Specifically, the rule will ensure adequate compensation for home care workers by requiring that at least 80 percent of Medicaid payments for home care services go to workers’ wages. 

I can't understate how huge this is part is. Providers have been sucking up rate increases while not increasing worker wages. 

Finally caught up.

What is a SAM if not an anti-air one-way attack drone?

Tomahawk is a drone. 

Seriously through we need better nomenclature. Little bullshit squad level quadcopter isn't the same as a Global Hawk just as a F-16 isn't the same as a C-5.

Israel, early Friday morning local time, launched missiles in a retaliatory strike against Iran, a senior U.S. official told ABC News.

 

No way they used Jericho, F-35I doesn't have cruise missile capability yet afaik.

Someone blew up something in Iran.

This is really good and covers a ton of issues I work on. I wish he covered a little more on nationwide 700,000 person waiting list for Home and Community Based Services. 

I was coincidentally at a State Legislative hearing on the 4 public MCOs two weeks ago.

Left = Control Israel. Right = Destroy Palestine.

I got into a fight with some people about this last night, specifically US involvement. They think ending US involvement would get Israel to stop, when in my opinion US involvement is the only reason they know about Gaza and would otherwise be one more forgotten people ran over by indifference, like the 300,000 in Azerbaijan. Liberal indifference to other atrocities really bugs me. They don't hate the atrocity, they hate their hands are dirty attempting to manage it. Israel without US involvement would have killed every soul in Gaza and the world would barely notice or actively look away. Probably my frustration with disability be notably absent for DEI and other progressive projects because it would actually cost money to fix.

Could we take this to mean only support diplomatically? Like voicing support? Or does this mean actual material support like tanker, AWACS, etc logistical support?

I assume the latter, at least publicly, but if Israel comes to us wanting to hit the drone factories that are also supplying Russia... we gonna say no to letting them use a tanker in secret?

I'm sure the Navy is appreciative of testing its new stuff in real world situations. 

As are the PLA.

My parents sold for $699k in 2006, sold again for $579k in 2020.

John Bolton is on CNN advocating for WW3.

Any indication on how Israel will respond?

Is it unreasonable to say that tonight might be the largest expenditure of air to air missiles... ever?

Debris from the intercepts falling over Jerusalem.

 

Odds the debris from at least one missile lands on a Palestinian Refugee Camp?

The GPS jamming actually started a few days ago in the north so I'm guessing that it's blanketing the entire country now.

Clarissa Ward is in Jerusalem reporting that her phone says she's in Beirut.

GPS is being jammed inside Israel by the IDF.

It'll be interesting if the IAF is being allowed into Jordan to knock down the drones and cruise missiles.

Soooo...my advice to everyone is to fill up your gas tanks as soon as you can!

Thinking they'll close the Strait?

It would take a special kind of person(read: ideologue) to be required to move across the country every five years, and even with a prestigious job of federal judge you’re going to see people not want to uproot their life every single five years.

1.3 million people in the military move all the time, can't find ~900 judges who'll have a job for life willing to move every 5 years?

Should we ban all pain medication?

No, but we kind of did in response to the opioid epidemic and are about to with ADHD drugs. The hoops you have to go through to get an opioid rx now have devastated the disability community.
