Dirty baths. This is among the things, a retired Ranger of the Law enforcement Park John Loretiig remembers the latest exclusion of the government. The employees of the national parks were fired, but the parks remained open from December 2018 to January 2019, which led to a problem with human waste: there was half a ton of human waste only in the valley of death outside the toilets when Parks’ employees returned.

This cumbersome situation may be a sign of what many Californians expect soon If the exclusion of the government returns on WednesdayWrites Calmatters reporters.

Concluding exclusion when the Congress and the President disagree how to continue to fund the government’s discretionary costs, which includes Bridge repair, disease detection and others. The White House says to check the agency Website to see how the programs will be affected during shutdown. Some workers are considered “essential” and continue to work.

Social security, Medicaid and Medicare are mandatory programs that are excluded from the annual discretionary budget process and should not be influenced by stopping.

Congress legislators have to make a deal by Tuesday, 11:59 pm Democratic leaders want Republicans to cancel the Medicaid abbreviations that have implemented President Donald Trump’s tax bill this summer and expand the former law.

Meanwhile, Trump is saving the prospect of fire federal workers if the stopping comes. California is home to approximately 150,000 federal officers.

From the Health Reporter Kristen Hanging:

Gavard Gavin Newo signed a measure in the law on Friday Protects the identity of abortion suppliers in CaliforniaS The law allows doctors, pharmacists and other authorized medical staff to prescribe abortion pills without putting their name or name of the patient on the prescription label. It comes into force immediately.

Doctors in California and New York are sued for the provision of abortion medicines to residents in countries where the procedure is not authorized.

The new law strengthens the contrast between the protection of abortions in California and the laws in countries such as Texas, which greatly restrict or prohibit abortions, and allow their residents to bring an action against abortion suppliers outside the state.

Newsom said he was proud to have signed the bill “in front of intensified attacks against the fundamental right to reproductive freedom.”

The new law also requires state health insurance plans to cover the abortion pill, even if the US Food and Drug Administration attracts its approval.

Schools had said they needed the preliminary approval process to ensure that the completion decorations were respectful and appropriate. The process applied to all students, not just to Indian students, although the students of the Indians are more likely to wear regalia.

Regalia, which is often served by a tribal elder or a family member, is a way to celebrate the achievements of the Indians students and to raise awareness of the culture, Ramos said.
