Democrat admits shutdown is about health care for illegals

 Blaze:

Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York have constantly claimed that the government shutdown has nothing to do with health care provided to illegal aliens, but one finally admitted the truth.

Republicans have used the accusations to hammer Democrats in the media, but Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California said during an interview that the issue was indeed part of the disagreement.
...

One assessment estimated that as much as $23.1 billion of federal taxpayer money went toward providing health care to illegal aliens in the U.S.

Another report said that California was exploiting a loophole in the medical system to have the federal government reimburse billions of dollars to be paid for Medicare for illegal aliens.

"The state of California, colluding with insurance companies who cover Medicaid beneficiaries, has created one of the most outrageous ones yet," reads the report from the Economic Policy Innovation Center, "a money-laundering scheme that results in California obtaining more than $19 billion in federal money without any state contribution over the period from April 2023 through December 2026."
...

Illegal aliens should be deported.  It is absurd to give them free healthcare.  California should be sued over theri money laundering scheme.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
