Welfare programs that allow simply relying on welfare one's whole life, rather than as last-resort support until they can get back on their feet, accompanied with a focus on training or jobseeking.

Bill Clinton gutted welfare; you can't get it for more than 5 years.

Is it that they generate enough revenue that they can rely off their own brand, while the other teams are forced to get funding from somewhere else?

It's that they can't get reputable sponsors willing to pay the money they're looking for.

Why is this bs american politics always an "us vs. them"? Why don't both parties recognize what is bad and what is good about their stances and reach a healthy middle term.

Kirsten might run for president. she could be the democrat nominee and the first female president instead of Hillary. I know nothing about her, but maybe I would vote for her. I saw her in a clip just now on CNN

She's absolutely going to run for president. She more clearly than most major Democrats recognizes which way the wind is blowing, but isn't far removed from being dogshit on most issues.

One that reports any current event by just stating the events without opinion. (As much as possible)

But even that is subject to the biases of the people deciding what events are worth including.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/26/us/politics/betsy-devos-neurocore-brain-performance-ads.html

A brain-performance business backed by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has agreed to stop advertising success rates for children and adults suffering from maladies such as attention deficit disorder, depression and autism after a review found the company could not support the outcomes it was promoting.

The company, Neurocore, which has received more than $5 million from Ms. DeVos and her husband, Richard DeVos Jr., to run brain performance centers in Michigan and Florida, lost an appeal before an advertising-industry review board, which found that the companys claims of curbing and curing a range of afflictions without medication were based on mixed research and unscientific internal studies.

The National Advertising Review Board, an oversight arm of the advertising industrys self-regulatory body, announced its decision last week.

Neurocore came under scrutiny during Ms. DeVoss confirmation process, when she valued her stake in it at $5 million to $25 million. Ms. DeVos and her husband were chief investors, and she served on the companys board of directors for seven years, until her nomination. The New York Times found that the companys claims of treating disorders for more than 10,000 adults through proven neurofeedback therapy had been challenged by medical experts and insurance companies.

After being nominated for education secretary, Ms. DeVos resigned from the board, but in an agreement with the Office of Government Ethics, retained her financial interest in Neurocore. The investment raised ethical concerns for Ms. DeVos after the company expressed hope that it could expand and help improve performance for students in schools.

Ms. DeVos said she would not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter concerning the company. But her family has continued to invest. Among the representatives of the company before the National Advertising Review Board was Jason Mahar, the in-house counsel for Windquest Group, the investment management firm of Ms. DeVoss husband. Windquest also continues to promote the company on its website as part of its corporate family.

Greg McNeilly, a spokesman for the DeVos family, said the company was another example of them being engaged in helping people.

They have a very innovative mind-set, so they are always looking for ways to do things better, no matter what the sector or market is, he said.

But the companys claims of success continue to draw scrutiny. The advertising watchdog panel found that Neurocore did not have sufficient evidence to support a claim that 90 percent of its patients reported fewer symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder following treatments, and that 85 percent experienced clinically important reduction of symptoms. Testimonials that the Neurocore program helped patients control anxiety and depression without medication conveyed strong messages that were not reasonably supported by the record, the panel wrote.

The June 4 decision affirmed a finding announced in August by the advertising industrys investigative arm, the National Advertising Division, that a slew of Neurocore statistics and testimonials on improving migraines, sleeplessness and A.D.H.D. were based on evidence that was insufficiently reliable to substantiate the strong health-related advertising claims.

The company based many of its claims on assessments of patients before and after they completed 30 45-minute sessions watching a movie while connected to brain-wave mapping technology, which detects when a subject gets distracted and then stops the movie. The therapy claims to help retrain the brain to stop spiking out of range. The company advertised that through its treatments, patients learn to breathe deeper and slower, resulting in better brain and heart function.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/us/politics/trump-anthony-kennedy-retirement.html

One person who knows both men remarked on the affinity between Mr. Trump and Justice Kennedy, which is not obvious at first glance. Justice Kennedy is bookish and abstract, while Mr. Trump is earthy and direct.

But they had a connection, one Mr. Trump was quick to note in the moments after his first address to Congress in February 2017. As he made his way out of the chamber, Mr. Trump paused to chat with the justice.

Say hello to your boy, Mr. Trump said. Special guy.

Mr. Trump was apparently referring to Justice Kennedys son, Justin. The younger Mr. Kennedy spent more than a decade at Deutsche Bank, eventually rising to become the banks global head of real estate capital markets, and he worked closely with Mr. Trump when he was a real estate developer, according to two people with knowledge of his role.

During Mr. Kennedys tenure, Deutsche Bank became Mr. Trumps most important lender, dispensing well over $1 billion in loans to him for the renovation and construction of skyscrapers in New York and Chicago at a time other mainstream banks were wary of doing business with him because of his troubled business history.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/us/politics/ice-immigration-eliminate-agency.html

At least 19 Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigators are seeking to dissolve the agency, concerned that the Trump administrations crackdown on illegal migrants has limited their ability to pursue national security threats, child pornography and transnational crime.

In a letter sent last week to Kirstjen Nielsen, the homeland security secretary, the special agents proposed creating a stand-alone investigations unit and another agency to handle immigration detention and deportation. The request was sent as a growing number of Democrats and immigration-rights advocates have called for eliminating ICE.

Investigations have been perceived as targeting undocumented aliens, instead of the transnational criminal organizations that facilitate cross border crimes impacting our communities and national security, wrote the agents from Homeland Security Investigations, which is a branch of ICE. The Texas Observer first reported the letter.

The investigators said local law enforcement officials have questioned the independence of their agency, given the Trump administrations aggressive policies against illegal immigration including arresting undocumented workers for minor offenses, such as driving without a license.

At least two House Democrats Representatives Mark Pocan of Wisconsin and Pramila Jayapal of Washington are pushing to eliminate ICE. And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who stunned the Democratic establishment this week with her upstart primary victory against Representative Joe Crowley of New York, made abolishing ICE one of the key planks of her campaign.

An agency spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday. But a senior ICE official said there were operational challenges raised in that letter that merit some discussion.

Homeland Security Investigations is one of several divisions within ICE the best-known of which is Enforcement and Removal Operations, which arrests, detains and deports undocumented immigrants.

The agents letter is rooted in longstanding tensions between the investigative and deportation divisions within ICE.

The child of a forced marriage between two defunct federal agencies The United States Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service ICE has long struggled to balance its dual roles of transnational criminal investigations and deportations.

Some agents in the investigations unit have said the Trump administration has prioritized ICEs deportations mission. Thomas D. Homan, the acting director of ICE and former leader of its deportation unit, has been a vocal proponent of the administrations immigration policies.

The more than 6,000 special agents assigned to Homeland Security Investigations focus on money laundering, drug trafficking, human smuggling, child exploitation and cybercrimes. The agents have been involved in some of the highest-profile criminal investigations in recent years, including the takedown of the Silk Road website, an online market where illegal drugs and fake identifications were sold.

The agency was also involved in the arrest and capture of drug lord Joaqun Guzmn Loera, better known as El Chapo, who led the Sinaloa cartel before he was extradited to the United States last year.

H.S.I. is also the lead government agency for counter proliferation investigations, targeting individuals who illegally try to smuggle military and other high-tech equipment out of the country. The division has about 50 offices around the world.
