Trump and Republicans don’t even have “concepts of a plan” for healthcare after all these years.

Trump says he doesn’t know the convicted drug trafficker he pardoned, knows very little about him. Maybe some very rich person gave Trump money or favors to get the pardon. Who knows these days?? 🙃

The Trump Plan will give Americans the opportunity to pay for their healthcare. One problem has yet to be solved: The healthcare will be unaffordable.

Q: What is the Republican healthcare plan?

TRUMP: If the Democrats go along with it -- which they don't want to -- I want the money to be paid to the people to go out and buy their own healthcare.

Is Trump going to give Americans most of the money to pay for healthcare, or only a small amount of the high cost that will be required to purchase it?

Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy.

Trump, after initially saying he had "no problem" with releasing the video of the Sept. 2 strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea that killed two survivors, is now reversing course and deferring to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

'Open Cruelty': Transgender Troops Describe Indignities as They're Kicked Out of the Military
archive.ph/Wm7sM
"Having this code, as best I understand, was last used for discharging homosexuals during the Lavender Scare in the McCarthy era,"
As a 20-year veteran of the Army sat in a classroom attending a mandatory course for soldiers getting out of the military and transitioning to civilian life, the civilian instructor made an odd request. He asked the couple of dozen people in the room to scratch out the words "pronoun, gender, diversity and inclusion" from the workbooks they had been issued. Much of the class likely thought little of the request -- a lingering effect of the Trump administration's efforts to eliminate diversity initiatives in the government -- but the soldier's mind filled with frustration and anger. The soldier is transgender and was sitting in that class because the Trump administration had made the choice to deny trans troops the ability to serve. As the soldiers around her were dutifully censoring their workbooks, she felt like they were quietly removing the change that she, and fellow trans troops like her, worked so hard to instill in the military. A soldier from her unit shot her a look that just said, "I'm sorry this is happening to you." The transgender soldier, granted anonymity to protect her identity out of fear of retribution, said that the entire incident was "just yet another reminder that it doesn't matter how much they say 'thank you for all the effort you put in and that your contributions are valuable' … because at the end of the day, they're having us manually go in and remove our own contributions from all the documentation." full of indignities that ranged from evaporating support from leadership to forced administrative leave and being denied the right to wear a uniform at retirement. Many of these experiences are largely driven by a single policy choice: the automatic reversal of the gender marker of trans troops back to their birth gender. Logan Ireland, a master sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, called the choice "absolutely heartbreaking." The soldier called it "open cruelty." Others called it "dehumanizing" and "trying to kick us while we're down." However, unlike Trump or Hegseth, the senior official who spoke anonymously as a condition of the interview presented the policy as kind and respectful. "They will be afforded a very significant, voluntary separation pay," the senior defense official said in May, adding that "this policy will treat anyone impacted by it with dignity and respect." The service members who spoke to Military.com stressed that, even though many transgender troops may take the "voluntary" option, they are not doing so because it is what they wish to do but because they feel as if they don't have a choice, given what continued service would entail. One senior noncommissioned officer, who asked not to be identified because they were part of ongoing litigation, said that they read this policy as a veiled threat. "You don't even know how bad it's going to be, right? And so maybe you should 'volunteer," they said. The Hegseth order meant that the military services began reversing any gender marker changes for trans troops, setting off a wave of consequences, the most visible of which has been the inability to wear uniforms daily or to events like retirement ceremonies. Ireland, as well as others who spoke to Military.com, say that they have already had their gender officially changed in their records. Others said that they anticipate the change, and they are proceeding accordingly. "There was a conversation I had with one of the people in my unit about [the fact that] 'nobody's going to enforce the uniform standards on you for stuff like this,'" the transgender soldier said. But she also noted that she couldn't, "in good conscience, be in this situation where I know I'm the only one just getting away with something. … It goes against everything that I believe about what it means to be a good soldier." The result is that the trans service members who are fortunate enough to formally retire -- something that several said their units had to fight for -- will not be in uniform. As a result of the many complications that reverting thousands of service members' gender markers would cause, the services seem to have turned to a novel solution -- just placing many transgender troops on months of administrative leave. All of the troops who spoke to Military.com said that they had been placed on leave, sometimes over their objections. The move means that they are still drawing a paycheck but are sequestered from their colleagues and fellow service members. Marcotte described the move as "telling me to go quietly into that good night." The senior noncommissioned officer said that, to them, it "seems like cruelty is the point." Marcotte described the idea that the Pentagon's policy treats troops like her with dignity and respect as "the warm blanket that they're wrapping themselves in." "It's not true, but that's what they're saying to make themselves feel better about the bull---- that's happening," she added. Troops are also frustrated about their service suddenly being categorized as somehow less than honorable, because it goes against many of the things they've been told over their many years of service, often citing years of stellar evaluations and fitness reports, awards and professional accomplishments. . "When you're in uniform, those that work with a trans service member, they don't give a sh--," Ireland said. . "We are the villain of their story, and they don't want us around," she said. Pentagon officials have confirmed that, as transgender troops are separated, they will also receive special discharge codes on their paperwork and files that carry potential impacts for their future. While enlisted transgender troops will be separated under the code "JFF," meaning that they were discharged under the authority of their service's top civilian official, officers will receive the code "JDK," which labels them a national security threat, possibly triggering implications far beyond the military.
