Have these conditions? You most likely won't be able to get insurance, or your premiums will be three to four times more expensive (just like the good ole' days 😡).

John McCain was the one that saved us before. He's gone, as are most of the other moderates.

So many of us will needlessly die! 🤬

A lengthy list of illnesses that are considered pre-existing conditions that may not be covered by the new Republican "healthcare" bill. Many are life threatening and a guaranteed death sentence or a highly probable death sentence (such as AIDS, Alzheimer's, Asthma, Cancer, Cardiomyopathy (heart enlargement), COPD, Liver cirrhosis, Congestive Heart Failure, Diabetes, Dialysis, Multiple Sclerosis, Organ transplants, Parkinson's, Renal/Kidney failure, Tuberculosis, etc). We'd be going back to basically the middle ages for healthcare (especially if vaccines are also prevented from being offered).

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Stunning bird & photo! 😍

My osprey pair came back again this yr & successfully raised another 2 chicks. This was their 4th yr, for a total of 8 chicks they've raised! 😍

I was really lucky to have gotten some nice shots & a lot of video of them right before they fledged & left for migration.

3 ospreys on their nest. 2 young ospreys in the foreground (just prior to fledging and starting to test their wings) with the mother osprey in the background. The youngsters don't yet have their mature solid brown wing feathers but they are the same size as their parents.

3 ospreys on their nest. 2 youngsters (easily identified by their brown and white top wing feathers rather than the solid brown feathers of a mature bird) are in the foreground with the mother osprey in the background, flying in, wings spread, just prior to her landing on the nest. While mature ospreys have brown and white feathers on the underside of their wings, their top wing feathers are solid brown.

Imagine, if you will, fifty protesters in inflatable animal costumes converging on ICE agents while blowing Aztec Death Whistles.

(You can 3D print death whistles and there’s tons of free designs - we have already printed off a few and are printing more for No Kings).

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

If they want to be biblical about things, wasn't castration & stoning a popular sentence for moral lapses? Of course the party of "save the children" has some glaring hypocrisy that probably would negate those biblical forms of justice if it's one of their own. 🙄 They've been 🦗s on #EpsteinFiles 🤔

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Massive insider trading. Thirty minutes before Trump’s China tariff announcement, a crypto “whale” opened a $100M+ short on Bitcoin.

4:30 PM: Whale opens $100M+ BTC short
4:50 PM: Trump announces 100% tariffs on China

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The new editor in chief of CBS News triumphs over her critics.
