State is a joke. They cant ever balance a budget


Just wait, they are using I believe $60-70 a barrel for oil for future forecasting of budgets and the experts believe it will more than likely by $40-50 a barrel.
Those tits are going to get even bigger.

The plan to fix five deteriorating bridges on Highway 90 at the Mississippi-Louisiana state line is stalled again because a federal program that could fund the project has not reopened since the government shutdown earlier this year, a lawmaker said.

Louisiana state leaders intended to apply for the money this fall. The state’s transportation department has estimated it will cost between $150 million and $350 million to reopen the bridges, which have been closed for more than three years.

Now lawmakers say they hope the grant program will open in January. “We share your frustration,” Louisiana State Rep. Stephanie Berault, R-Slidell, said last week. “We are hopeful this will get done soon.”

The 3-mile stretch from Pearlington into Louisiana closed in May 2022 after inspectors realized the 1930s-era bridges were not safe. Louisiana lacks the money to replace them and does not know when they will reopen.

A total of nineteen blue states are suing the Trump administration in a bid to protect the right to perform child sex changes.

Last week, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he would cut off Medicare and Medicaid funding to any provider that offers so-called gender-affirming treatment to minors.

“Under my leadership, and answering President Trump’s call to action, the federal government will do everything in its power to stop unsafe, irreversible practices that put our children at risk,” Kennedy said at the time.

The Oregon-led lawsuit claims that the decision “exceeds the Secretary’s authority and violates the Administrative Procedure Act and the Medicare and Medicaid statutes.”

Oregon Attorney General Dayfield argued that child sex changes are an essential form of healthcare.

Among the states signed up to the lawsuit are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin, Washington, and D.C.

Vice President JD Vance dominated the 2028 Republican presidential straw poll, pulling in a staggering 84.2 percent of the vote. No other contender came close. Marco Rubio finished a distant second at 4.8 percent, followed by Ron DeSantis at 2.9 percent and Donald Trump Jr. at 1.8 percent. Ted Cruz and Glenn Youngkin barely registered, underscoring how firmly the grassroots has coalesced around Vance.

On cabinet performance, Trump’s team earned broad approval across the board. Pam Bondi stood out as the only cabinet member with double-digit disapproval, with roughly 29 percent holding a negative view, while the rest of the administration posted strong net positives among attendees.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he expects to meet with US President Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday in pursuit of a deal to end Russia’s nearly four-year invasion.


quote:

Zelenskiy told reporters on Friday that he’d discuss sensitive issues with Trump including the future of the Donbas region in Ukraine’s east and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

The Ukrainian leader said he plans to refine Kyiv’s agreements with the US to the maximum extent possible, potentially as soon as Sunday’s discussions, while the comprehensive 20-point peace plan would then require input from Russia and Europe.

For now, Ukraine has no direct communication with Moscow, Zelenskiy said, adding that his country’s framework deal with the US was “almost ready” and signing it would depend on the meeting with Trump.

Zelenskiy said he’d like European leaders to be present online during his meetings with the US.

The larger 20-point peace plan — which Zelenskiy characterized as “90% ready” — can’t be signed without Russia and Europe, who are parties to the possible deal draft alongside Ukraine and US, he said.

Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent a letter on Wednesday to President Donald Trump urging him to reverse the decision to recall 29 top career diplomats, saying it could create a “vacuum in U.S. leadership” around the world.

This was in response to news reported Monday by the Associated Press that 29 career diplomats in ambassadorial and other senior embassy posts were being recalled to Washington, D.C. The list includes ambassadors from Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Central and South America, who reportedly will be offered other assignments in foreign service, if they choose to accept them.


quote:

All 29 ambassadors had taken up their posts during the Joe Biden administration, according to The Hill.

The State Department wouldn’t confirm the precise number of recalled ambassadors in a statement to The Hill, but it defended the action as a “standard process in any administration,” noting that an ambassador is “a personal representative of the president and it is the president’s right to ensure that he has individuals in these countries who advance the America First agenda,” the AP reported.
