By 2026, health insurance costs will be so brutal that even healthcare workers won’t be able to afford the care they provide. When the people saving lives can’t afford to save their own, the system isn’t broken — it’s been torched.

An economist from Ghana told me that a bonus reason for promoting wind and solar power is that it’s much harder to use for corruption and repressive geopolitics.
Remind me again. Who is in favour of fossil fuels?

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Projection or hypocrisy? How about both?
Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.)
Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart.

The president announced a $12 billion bailout package for farmers who have suffered as a result of his trade policies. So the taxpayers have to pay twice as a result of Trump's asinine tariff policies: once at the checkout line, and again for his handouts to the farmers who his tariffs damaged.
