I recently qualified for Medicare. The medicare booklet told me in plain English that none of the medicare advantage plans were going to be better than what I would get with plain ol Medicare - and in fact I would most likely have fewer benefits in exchange for paying more.

I listened to the audio, it was worse that seeing it in print. I have a tractor, it has hydraulics, and it's prone to failure. Push too hard, too heavy a load, it's too hot, it's too cold - all hard on the hydraulics, maybe - just maybe magnets would be better for elevators?

It's likely that some version of this is happening in all of the states. Make it 'ok' to remove the houseless from their communities means you have to put them somewhere. An easy out is to outlaw being houseless, assess a fine, fine is unpaid, incarcerate for unpaid fines, rinse and repeat. forever.

I had to walk away from this bit of commentary a couple of times. I would begin a response and memories of my own life would reawaken. Cuomo has many flaws, his sexual assault accusations are many. To use MeToo as an excuse to welcome him back into office is proof positive of world gone mad

It's not so much removing people, but making use of people. along the lines of slave labor, organ transplants, indoctrination camps. GlobalIX, Avelo, Key Lime Air are all involved in flying people from one detention center to another. Lots of money to be made in the process

This is easy for Johnson, because he's describing the current state of affairs. Everything he describes is something trump is doing now.

I would demand that my leadership specifically articulate which policy and the metrics of how that would be judged. They will of course come up empty, because he has yet to articulate a specific policy that an individual employee in their job could affect.

Your FOTUS is angry at Canada because it made an ad showing part of this video, saying tariffs are causing them trouble. FOTUS says it's fake, Reagan never said all of it, and broke off trade talks. Here's Reagan's original video. Share this, make his mendacity burn! 🎈🤡

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Nothing he has done so far has enflamed the population enough to start mass, angry protests. This might be the straw that broke the back, and this may be exactly what he hopes will happen. The long game has always been a military occupation of the country, and this would give him the excuse.

I believe they are ok with people being poor, that keeps you working until you drop, accepting all kinds of work hazards they don't want to correct. What they don't like are people who both poor and sick. They would prefer you die quickly so that a replacement can be hired for your job.

Agreed. It was shocking the difference. Via the mail it was $30 for three months worth, via the pharmacy it was $756 for one month. Seems like CVS is determined to put regular ol pharmacies out of business.

Had a prescription for asthma meds go from around $50 to over $700, one month to the next. CVS changed their policy, use mail delivery or pay the difference. It was the worst week in my life, because I was out of meds waiting on the mail.

I took her approach with Bower as one steeped in arrogance. She thought she could bully Bower into writing an article supporting the prosecution, or perhaps skipping it all together. That she failed to articulate an error in the Times article shows it was spot on, and Halligan knew it.

Just when I thought I had seen it all today, I see this. crap, piled on top of crap, on a sea of crap - that is what I see when reading about the current admin. I try to dream of a different admin coming and spending at least 8 years ridding our country of all that went wrong these past few months

I am embarrassed for their older self, that hopefully will look back on these days with the horror and revulsion they deserve. Words like these have no place in professional discourse, and yet here we are. Can only imagine what she'll dream up after she's gained some more confidence on the job.

Respect and admiration for those that risk their lives to alert the world to the real impact of war to the people on the ground. Their belief that this must be made known, even at risk to their own life is incredible.

From the No Kings rally in Yreka CA. Small town, but big spirit from these folks.

In so many of these ICE encounters, it sure seems like Meth is a common denominator, these folks are way too tense, too hopped up, too angry, too all of the things that I've seen with those I've personally known who used Meth back in the day.
