A big part of the project 2025 healthcare plan is to deregulate health care & medicine & erase public health protections and force as many people as possible into the hands of healers, quacks, and snake oil.

Ian Carroll is a bad dude. He appears on Alex Jones and regularly dabbles in anti-semitic conspiracy theories about 9/11 and the holocaust.

If Ro Khanna is not only sharing his videos but sitting down to talk with him or his allies, something is fundamentally broken within the Democratic Party.

There is a degree of risk. Insects including ants frequently encounter dangerous microbes on substances including decaying organisms and fecal matter. I'm certainly no expert and I know more emphasis has been placed on flies spreading disease.

Also argentina immediately used this windfall to slash export taxes so they could replace American soybean farmers' China exports, and USAID was a major buyer of food from US farmers. Should be the easiest issue in the world for Ds to outflank trump

We're spending $20B to bail out Argentina, but they cut USAID down to the bone, causing deaths around the world. The entire budget of USAID, the whole agency, was $21B last year. Shameful.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 4h

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

If you ever stuck up for "ideological diversity ' or good faith debate or whatever and thought guys like Thiessen were part of that congratulations you are a huge sucker and Thiessen and the other conservatives are laughing at you now that they won.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

Oh no, not SOME conservative critics, they're usually so measured and sparing in their criticisms, like when tens of thousands of them stroked out over a change in the Cracker Barrel logo.

Bezos-ism at its finest. The Pope’s “divisive” take is that Christians should take care of the poor and the vulnerable. Which does offend greedy people, I suppose?

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 13h

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

If grocery prices had gone down or voters started saying they trusted Harris on grocery prices, the result would not be Harris walking away with the election but the media choosing in a different bad-for-Harris economic issue as the number one issue of the campaign.

Recall also that Trump promised repeatedly on the campaign trail not just to slow the rate of inflation but to reverse it and return prices to pre-Covid levels! His promises, not mine!

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win
