"The Phoenix City Council has consistently, through meaningful dialogue with community members, invested in substantial public expenditures and proposed and approved significant projects," she wrote, citing the use of body-worn cameras and initiatives addressing homelessness and mental health. The department's findings end a nearly three-year-long investigation, first announced in August 2021, that examined whether the Phoenix Police Department engaged in a "pattern or practice" of civil rights abuses. "In the years leading up to our investigation, PhxPD officers shot and killed people at one of the highest rates in the country," the report found. "PhxPD relies on dangerous tactics that lead to force that is unnecessary and unreasonable. PhxPD has taught officers a misguided notion of de-escalation.

JRTC should be similar to JROTC (simply educational, not a recruitment), yet tailored for the General Grade School population (more than JROTC targets Magnet schools and Preparatory academies/schools). It'll give the next generation a headstart at a patriotic uniform approach to life inclusive of military basics and order.

Part 2 of 2 _United States Budgetary Costs of the Post-9/11 Wars Through FY2019: $5.9 Trillion Spent and Obligated_ This number differs substantially from the Pentagon’s estimates of the costs of the post-9/11 wars because it includes not only war appropriations made to the Department of Defense - spending in the war zones of Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and in other places the government designates as sites of “overseas contingency operations,” - but also includes spending across the federal government that is a consequence of these wars. Specifically, this is war-related spending by the Department of State, past and obligated spending for war veterans’ care, interest on the debt incurred to pay for the wars, and the prevention of and response to terrorism by the Department of Homeland Security.

P3 _Red Summer_ When the war ended many returning servicemen resented that their vacated jobs had been taken, particularly by African Americans. Black laborers already suffered from a negative reputation in the White working community for their use as low wage-earning strike breakers, or “scabs,” who would keep factories in operation while the employees went on strike. The situation was made worse in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917. Many officials and others, with little or no evidence, suspected Black workers of being pawns of Bolsheviks and anarchists. Many Whites feared that the return of tens of thousands of Black veterans, with experience living abroad and, more significantly, having received military training, would be unwilling to resubmit to traditional political and social subjugation in the U.S. Many Black leaders encouraged returning servicemen to assert themselves and fight for the dignity and respect they had earned through their military service. W.E.B. Du Bois famously called upon Black veterans to not simply “return from fighting” but to “return fighting.”

_5 ways the Inflation Reduction Act will help American families_ Lower energy costs. Neighborhood-level investments. Cleaner air for industrial neighborhoods. Greener transportation. More business and job opportunities. *A green economy isn't just a solution to climate change* - it's a solution to the underinvestment that has been holding many communities back. Smart investments in new technologies also bring new jobs and opportunities, and we want to see those jobs in the communities that need them most. That's precisely what this bill will do by including $27 billion for a clean energy technology accelerator to turn new ideas into thriving businesses with a focus on disadvantaged communities. Bringing our economy into a green future means including everyone and providing an opportunity to make sure Black and Brown entrepreneurs and job seekers benefit.

If you want more soldier to enlist then offer raises!! We need to keep our military strong bc the world is on the verge of war in multiple locations and there’s already proxy wars happening which the west is involved in.

Why should married soldiers be paid more than single ones? A E1 that's married shouldn't be paid more than an E4 who is single. I don't want to here about a single person living in the barracks for free. Barracks troops are the first to get picked on for extra duties and other last minute details. So Barracks troops work more hours for less pay then the married troops. I'm a veteran and know this firsthand.

P5 _2023 was the hottest year on record._ The world has already temporarily breached 1.5 degrees. This July, for example, was between 1.5 and 1.6 degrees Celsius hotter than the pre-industrial era. The 1.5-degree threshold isn’t a magic number: 1.2 degrees or 1.3 degrees of global warming, where we are now, is obviously already bad. But each fraction of a degree of warming gets us closer to catastrophic tipping points, including collapsing ice sheets and melting permafrost, and makes climate disasters like extreme heat and flooding more likely. As the world works to cut emissions, we’ll also have to move much faster to adapt-from helping farmers deal with drought to designing hurricane-resistant homes-to grappling with the reality of the climate change that’s already here.
