'Just because we don't have legislative voting days, it doesn't mean Congress isn't working'

Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican and doctor, likes President Donald Trump’s proposal to allocate Affordable Care Act funds directly to Americans instead of insurance companies.  Trump proposed Wednesday that billions of dollars in Affordable Care Act subsidy money be paid directly to Americans, rather than insurance companies, so the people can “buy their own healthcare” which Trump says, “will be better and far less expensive than the disaster known as Obamacare.”  “If you look at an Obamacare policy now, there’s a $6,000 deductible. Democrats are fighting to lower the premiums. You lower a premium on something which has $6,000 deductible, it’s basically a catastrophic policy,” explained Cassidy, who chairs the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, when he joined CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.  Trump is proposing that the federal government take the $26 billion that would be going to insurance companies and “give it directly to the American people in an account in which” they can use “100% of the money to purchase the health care on their own terms,” Cassidy said.  Fix or Replace? Why Patient-Powered Care Must Be the Future of Healthcare@SenBillCassidy backed President Trump’s recent proposal to allocate Affordable Care Act funds directly to Americans rather than insurance companies when he joined CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday.“I’m a… pic.twitter.com/5yCZuxzMIR— The Daily Signal (@DailySignal) November 16, 2025 “That makes them an informed consumer. It also helps address the need to have coverage for that deductible. And if they get that policy with a higher deductible, they can actually lower their premium,” Cassidy explained. It’s a sweet spot: Lower premiums help with the deductible, making the patient the informed consumer.”  Cassidy said he and Trump are “united” on this proposal, adding that “we should all be united about [this].”  When asked if Cassidy and the president want to fix or eliminate Obamacare, Cassidy said we need to have a new health care model where the patient is engaged in their own health care.    “I’m a doctor. I worked for 20 years in a hospital for the uninsured. I found that if you give the patient the power, good things happen,” Cassidy stated. “That’s supported by the medical literature: If the patient is engaged in her health care and the health care of her family, she’s going to be a wise shopper for her health and for her pocketbook.”  The post Sen.

Car accidents involving pets injure over 100,000 animals annually in the United States. Most of these injuries could be prevented with proper dog safety car travel measures. We at DogingtonPost believe every dog deserves protection during vehicle trips. The right equipment and preparation can save your pet’s life while keeping you focused on the road ahead. Essential Car Safety Equipment for Dogs Crash-Tested Harnesses Provide Superior Protection Dog car harnesses with crash-test certification deliver the strongest protection during accidents. The Center for Pet Safety conducted a pilot study in 2011 to investigate the crashworthiness of pet travel harnesses, which makes third-party certification essential for your pet’s safety. SleepyPod Clickit Sport and Kurgo Enhanced Strength Tru-Fit harnesses both meet rigorous safety standards and support dogs from 5 to 105 pounds. These harnesses connect directly to your vehicle’s seatbelt system and distribute crash forces across your dog’s chest rather than the neck. A properly fitted harness prevents your 60-pound dog from becoming a 3,000-pound projectile at impact speeds (according to GoPetFriendly research). The harness transforms your dog from a dangerous missile into a secured passenger who stays protected during sudden stops. Heavy-Duty Crates Offer Maximum Protection MIM Variocage and Ruff Land kennels represent the gold standard for canine crash protection. These aluminum and steel crates bolt directly to your vehicle’s floor or cargo area and create a protective cage around your dog. The hard-sided travel crates withstand forces that would destroy plastic carriers and prevent your pet from escaping through broken windows after an accident. Airlines require similar crate standards for flight travel, which makes these kennels versatile for multiple transportation needs. Size your crate so your dog can stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably without excess space that allows dangerous movement during sudden stops. Barriers Block Access to Driver Areas Car barriers install between front and rear seats to prevent dogs from climbing into your lap while driving. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reports that looking away from the road for just two seconds doubles crash risk, yet 52 percent of dog owners pet their animals while driving (creating unnecessary hazards). Metal mesh barriers provide stronger protection than fabric versions and allow airflow between compartments. These barriers work best for larger dogs who might otherwise jump over lower obstacles and create dangerous distractions during highway speeds. Your next step involves preparing your dog mentally and physically for safe vehicle travel. Preparing Your Dog for Car Travel Start With Short Practice Sessions at Home Most dogs need gradual exposure to vehicles before long trips. Place your dog in their travel harness or crate while the car remains parked in your driveway. Feed treats and offer praise during these stationary sessions to create positive associations with the safety equipment. The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends 10-minute sessions that increase in duration as your dog shows comfort. Progress to engine-on sessions where you sit with your dog while the motor runs. This step helps dogs adjust to vibrations and sounds without motion stress. Take your first actual drive around the block only after your dog stays calm during stationary practice. Dogs who skip this foundation often develop travel anxiety that requires months of behavior modification to correct. Combat Motion Sickness Before It Starts Motion sickness affects many dogs, with approximately 7.2 million dogs suffering from this condition according to veterinary research. Puppies experience higher rates because their inner ear structures remain underdeveloped until 12 months of age. Signs include excessive drool, pant, vomit, and lethargy during or after car rides. Feed your dog 3-4 hours before departure rather than immediately before travel. Empty stomachs reduce nausea while they prevent dangerous bloat during movement. Crack windows slightly for fresh air circulation but never allow head-out-the-window behavior that causes eye injuries from debris. Consult your veterinarian about anti-nausea medications like maropitant if natural methods fail after consistent practice. Exercise Eliminates Pre-Trip Energy and Accidents A tired dog travels better than an energetic one. Provide 30 minutes of vigorous exercise before departure to drain excess energy that otherwise converts to anxiety or destructive behavior. Walk, fetch, or dog park visits work effectively for most breeds (though high-energy dogs may need longer sessions). Schedule bathroom breaks immediately before you load your dog into the vehicle. This prevents accidents during the first hour of travel when dogs feel most stressed. Bring cleanup supplies anyway because anxiety can trigger unexpected elimination even in house-trained dogs. Your preparation work now leads directly to the safe practices you must follow while actually behind the wheel with your canine passenger. Safe Driving Practices with Dogs Backseat Placement Saves Lives During Crashes The backseat provides the safest location for restrained dogs in every vehicle type. Front seat placement exposes dogs to airbag deployment forces that can cause fatal injuries even with proper harnesses. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data shows airbags deploy at speeds up to 200 mph, which creates deadly impact zones for pets under 80 pounds. Center backseat placement offers maximum protection during side-impact collisions, while window seats increase injury risk from broken glass and debris penetration. Secure your dog’s harness or crate anchor points to the vehicle’s structural points rather than seat cushions. Seat cushions compress during crashes and allow dangerous forward movement that defeats safety equipment effectiveness. Thread seatbelts through harness attachment points until you achieve a snug fit that prevents more than 2 inches of forward movement during hard stops. Temperature Control Prevents Heat Stroke Deaths Vehicle interiors reach lethal temperatures within 10 minutes even on mild 70-degree days. Cars parked in 85-degree weather climb to 120 degrees within 30 minutes, causing organ failure in dogs. Run air conditioning for 5 minutes before you load your dog to pre-cool the cabin temperature below 75 degrees. Position air vents to blow directly toward your dog’s travel area and maintain constant airflow throughout the journey. Crack rear windows 1-2 inches for additional ventilation but never enough space for head or paw extension outside the vehicle. Dogs who stick heads out windows suffer eye injuries from road debris at rates 300% higher than properly contained animals according to veterinary emergency room data. Monitor your dog’s breathing patterns every 15 minutes during travel and stop immediately if you notice excessive panting or drool that indicates overheating stress. Zero-Distraction Driving Protects Everyone in Your Vehicle Dog owners experience driving-related distraction while traveling with pets, yet these same drivers would never text while driving. Petting, feeding treats, or reaching back to comfort anxious dogs creates the same crash risks as phone use. Set up everything your dog needs before you start the engine and commit to zero interaction until you reach your destination or planned rest stops. Install a barrier or position crates to block visual contact between you and your dog during travel. Dogs who can see their owners often whine, bark, or attempt escape behaviors that tempt drivers to respond with dangerous reaching or verbal interaction. Program your GPS before departure and keep water, treats, and cleanup supplies within your dog’s secured area but outside your reach while driving (maintaining focus on the road ahead). Final Thoughts Dog safety car travel demands three essential elements: proper restraint equipment, thorough preparation, and disciplined practices behind the wheel. Crash-tested harnesses and heavy-duty crates transform your pet from a dangerous projectile into a protected passenger during accidents. The statistics reveal a stark reality – over 100,000 animals suffer preventable injuries annually because owners skip basic safety measures. Preparation work delivers immediate results when you invest time in gradual vehicle introduction and motion sickness prevention. Dogs who receive proper conditioning before long trips experience 70% less travel anxiety than those placed into vehicles without training. Exercise and bathroom breaks before departure eliminate most behavioral problems that create dangerous distractions. Your commitment to backseat restraint placement, temperature control, and zero-distraction practices protects every passenger in your vehicle. These methods require discipline but prevent the devastating consequences of unrestrained pet travel (which claim thousands of animal lives each year). We at DogingtonPost support responsible dog ownership through evidence-based safety practices that save lives on the road.

The Next Social Epidemic Is Already Here: Legalized Sports Gambling

On Friday morning, MSNBC Mexican-American host Ana Cabrera provided an unchallenged forum to a liberal Chicago activist to promote anti-ICE efforts and to cheer a new court ruling that requires hundreds of illegal aliens to be released from custody after all the effort it took for federal agents to arrest them in the Chicago area. After a report on the ruling, Cabrera brought aboard immigrant rights activist Lawrence Benito to respond, leading him to cheer protesters who have worked to shield illegal alien "neighbors" in his state: ... this would not have been possible without ordinary people stepping up to take action to help their neighbors. People putting "know your rights" cards; distributing them so that people were informed; joining rapid response teams as well. So this wouldn't be possible without ordinary people stepping up and looking out for their neighbors. Cabrera followed up by asking about Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino's vow to be more aggressive about arresting illegal aliens in response to the ruling: "We just played Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino talking about, kind of the backlash now to this judge's order -- that there will be a lot more arrests in the face of this order. What's your reaction to that?" Benito called for more liberal activists to monitor ICE -- which often means stalking agents -- as he began: Well, you know, Bovino may be leaving town, but the wreckage and going enforcement remains, and we need to ensure, and we're working towards the hundreds -- possibly thousands -- of people whose rights were violated are released. And so, moving forward, we're going to continue to look out for our neighbors. And we're going to continue to tell the story of -- because he may be leaving Chicago, but he's going to another city, and we need to put more eyes on ICE. He then ranted about how immigration enforcement actions have been conducted so far: This operation was violent, wasteful and dangerous not just for immigrant families but for citizens and noncitizens alike. And Congress should be looking at what happened here in Illinois, and everyone in the country needs to understand that Trump can order this to happen anywhere. Last week, we saw voters across the country reject Trump's agenda, and, as we go into 2026, we need to make sure this pattern of lying to justify violence against our communities and conducting unconstitutional abductions is at the forefront because, the more Trump does the more he exposes his power grab. Instead of pushing back, Cabrera went along with the premise that ICE needs more regulation by the courts as she concluded: Well, we are seeing courts try to hold the administration accountable in the case we just mentioned here, and, of course, there was the other case involving Bovino called before a judge, Sarah Ellis, to answer to use of force. So we're going to continue to stay on this. Lawrence Benito, thank you for joining us today. Transcript follows: MSNBC's Ana Cabrera Reports November 14, 2025 10:54 a.m. Eastern ANA CABRERA: And let's bring in Lawrence Benito -- executive director of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrants and Refugee Rights. Lawrence, it's good to have you. Let's talk more about this judge's order to release hundreds of migrants starting today. Does your group have any information on who these folks are and when they could be free? LAWRENCE BENITO, ILLINOIS COALITION FOR IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEE RIGHTS: Well, we've been working closely with our legal advocates, and they're in touch with the families, but I just want to say at the start, this would not have been possible without ordinary people stepping up to take action to help their neighbors. People putting "know your rights" cards; distributing them so that people were informed; joining rapid response teams as well. So this wouldn't be possible without ordinary people stepping up and looking out for their neighbors. CABRERA: We just played Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino talking about, kind of the backlash now to this judge's order -- that there will be a lot more arrests in the face of this order.

The Elitist Media’s Sunday shows all ran with a significant chunk of Jeffrey Epstein slop as this week’s top story, a pivot we saw happen in real time in the aftermath of the end of the Democrat-instigated-and-prolonged government shutdown. And in midst of all that coverage was a significant and predictable omission. Per The Washington Post (archived): The newly released documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate show that the convicted sex offender appeared to be texting with a member of Congress during a congressional hearing with Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, and that those text messages may have influenced the lawmaker’s questions of Cohen. In the texts, Epstein appeared to be watching the February 2019 hearing in real time and at one point informed the person he was texting — whose name is redacted from the documents — that Cohen had brought up former Trump executive assistant Rhona Graff in his testimony. At the time, Cohen was testifying before the House Oversight Committee against his former boss, alleging that Trump was racist, manipulated financial records and directed hush money payments to cover up his extramarital affairs — allegations Trump denied. The president said on social media that Cohen was “lying” before testimony began. Epstein coaching a Member of Congress as to what questions to ask of a committee witness isn’t notable? Does this not warrant prominence on the Sunday shows? For an Elitist Media intent on mining the “Epstein Files” for revelations, this is a huge omission. But not surprising, because this does not directly implicate President Donald Trump in any crime. Instead, we get process slop across the dial. Most representative of this is the full package prepared by ABC’s Mary Bruce for This Week. Needless to say, it was quite Mary Brucey. JON KARL: But we begin with our Mary Bruce and the controversy that engulfed The White House this week over the Jeffrey Epstein files. MARY BRUCE: This week, the release of thousands of documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein sparking renewed questions about the sex offender's relationship with the president. DONALD TRUMP: Jeffrey Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years. BRUCE: And now Trump is trying to shift the focus to Democrats. In an extraordinarily rare move, a president now publicly ordering his attorney general, Pam Bondi, and the FBI to investigate Jeffrey Epstein, but only his relationship with prominent Democrats. Bondi wasting no time complying, appointing U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, saying “the Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity.” This, despite the fact that earlier this year Bondi herself closed the books on the Epstein case, insisting there is no there there, saying “we did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.” Some Republicans are pushing back on the president's move. DON BACON: I don't think it's appropriate for him to do it. I would ask him not to do that because all it does is taint our legal system. BRUCE: Democrats labeling it a desperate attempt to change the subject. DAVE MIN: Will Donald Trump be investigated as part of this? Or is there be one set of rules for Donald Trump's friends and supporters- another set for his critics? BRUCE: Those emails part of some 20,000 documents releasedby the House Oversight Committee this week, many of which mention Trump. In a 2017 email, Epstein writing, “I have met some very bad people. None as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body. So, yes, dangerous.” Shortly after Trump launched his presidential campaign in 2015, Epstein told at least one reporter that he had dirt on Trump and was willing to share. In a 2018 text to an unidentified person, Epstein writing: “I am the one who is able to take him down.” Trump has denied any wrongdoing, but he has refused to release the full FBI files on Epstein and now a bipartisan group of lawmakers are trying to force him to. Trump clearly furious, going on a tirade against one of his closest allies, Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of four Republicans who joined Democrats to force the vote on releasing the Epstein files. The president calling her “Marjorie Traitor Greene", labeling her a lightweight who betrayed the entire Republican Party, and announcing he is withdrawing his support and endorsement of her. TRUMP: Something happened to her over the last period of a month or two where she changed, I think, politically. BRUCE: Greene firing back, saying she has long supported the president, “but I don't worship or serve Donald Trump.” For This Week: Mary Bruce, ABC News, Washington. The Plaskett story early enough for pre-production of This Week, and yet there was no mention whatsoever of what would otherwise be a scandal. There was likewise no mention of Plaskett on NBC’s Meet the Press, CBS’s Face the Nation, or CNN’s State of the Union.  As is the case with “news” in the Trump Era, the durability of a story is directly proportional to its ability to (a) cast aspersions on Donald Trump, and/or (b) cover up some other, more nefarious scandal. A post-shutdown pivot to Epstein is time not spent on Operation Arctic Frost, the non-domiciled commercial driver’s license scandal, or any one of a long list of issues that merit scrutiny. Instead, Sunday viewers continue to get fed anti-news slop.  

President Trump’s recent warning to Nigeria over the mass killing of Christians was both overdue and necessary.At long last, Washington acknowledged what much of the West preferred to ignore — that believers are being butchered for their faith while bureaucrats issue statements and move on to the next photo op. Trump’s threat to strike Nigeria if the slaughter continues signaled a rare thing in modern politics: moral clarity.Every church burned in India is a warning: Faith without freedom becomes folklore.Now it’s time for that same clarity to be turned toward another nation, one that calls itself the world’s largest democracy and one that America counts among its closest allies — India.New data from the United Christian Forum reveals a troubling trend. Attacks on Christians in India have surged by more than 500% since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in 2014. Over the course of a single decade, reported incidents climbed from 139 to 834. Nearly 5,000 individuals, families, and churches have been caught in the crossfire.Yet these grim numbers tell only part of the story.Behind the statistics are pastors dragged from pulpits and beaten, churches reduced to ash, and people hunted like animals simply for choosing the Lord Almighty over the golden idols of their tormentors. What was once unthinkable — open persecution of Christians in the land of Mother Teresa — has now become routine.Twelve of India’s 28 states now enforce so-called “anti-conversion” laws that criminalize anyone accused of bringing others to Christ.In practice, these laws are less about conversion than coercion. They empower mobs and police alike to harass Christian minorities on suspicion alone. A man caught carrying a Bible can be accused of proselytizing. A prayer meeting can be framed as a plot.The cruelty is not confined to law but seeps into everyday life.In the heartland states of Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, Christian villagers have been driven out of their homes, denied burial rights, and told to renounce their faith or face starvation. Dalit and tribal Christians — the poorest of India’s poor — endure the worst of it. They are excluded from government welfare programs, denied housing, and forced into reconversion ceremonies designed to humiliate.The Hindu nationalists behind these acts are not the flag-waving patriots America knows. They are absolute savages who have more in common with Islamist extremists than with any conservative movement in the West. No evil is too depraved for these fanatics in saffron robes. These are men capable of gang-raping elderly nuns in the name of purity. Their mouths recite prayers even as their hands commit sin.Yet through all this, Washington has remained curiously quiet. India, after all, is an ally — a key counterweight to China, a trading partner, a member of the Quad alliance. And allies, we’re told, must not be offended. India receives tens of millions in U.S. foreign assistance each year, yet continues to slide deeper into majoritarian extremism.RELATED: Bill Maher's shocking defense of Christians — and what it reveals Debajyoti Chakraborty/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesThe relationship has become a study in contradiction: America exports democracy while subsidizing the suppression of it.Trump’s stance toward Nigeria was bold because it rejected the idea that diplomacy must always defer to decorum. He recognized that moral authority is not something declared but something earned and easily lost. The same logic applies to India. If America’s partnership with New Delhi is to mean anything, it must rest on shared principles — not selective blindness.There is a tragic irony in watching the world’s oldest democracy bankroll the world’s largest, while both ignore their founding creeds. Trump is uniquely positioned to change that. The president has shown a willingness to name the unnameable and confront regimes that others tiptoe around. His threat to Nigeria rattled the corridors of Abuja and forced the international community to pay attention.A similar message to New Delhi — that America’s friendship cannot be a blank check for intolerance — would carry enormous weight.To speak out would not be an act of hostility but of honesty. True allies do not flatter; they challenge. India’s leaders must be reminded that religious freedom is not a Western import but a universal right, and any nation that denies it will pay the heaviest of prices. If India wishes to stand shoulder to shoulder with the free world, it must first show it belongs there.For too long, the West has treated persecution as someone else’s problem. But every church burned in India is a warning: Faith without freedom becomes folklore. The indifference of powerful nations emboldens tyrants and teaches them that human rights are negotiable.The question now is whether America still believes in the principles it preaches — and whether Trump will demand that its allies do the same.Because faith, like freedom, dies in stages — first ignored, then excused, and then erased. The erasure has already begun in India. What’s needed now is not another summit or statement, but a voice loud enough to pierce the silence. President Trump has that voice, the rare kind that can still move mountains. I, for one, hope he uses it.
