Here it comes: the crisis wave of Americans making the tough choice to drop coverage — in the face or rising premiums.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.
The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

The irony in Comey's words. Whoo boy!
Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

DOGE workers are scrambling in fear of prosecution now that Elon Musk has abandoned them. The dipshits like most of MAGA believed their dear billionaires were going to protect them and share the wealth.

They keep picking fights they will not win.
Even as the cases against James Comey and Letitia James are dismissed in a stunning display of prosecutorial ineptitude

United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.
How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage
Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

It's not *absolutely* unworkable, but make a great living as a fiction writer *without* having to trick myself out on any billionaire's social media platform. Like radio silence. Like people don't even know what I look like level of disappearing. 😏
What's your absolutely unworkable plan to drop out of your current life (or at least work life) and do something completely different?

absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

OTs are also excluded from the professionals list, yet chiropractors remain. I'm sure that has nothing to do with fundamentalist institution Life University. 🙄
What absolute bullshit: “Nursing no longer considered a professional degree by Trump administration ***Change means student loans are limited for nurses, physical therapists, physician assistants” 11/22/25 www.wpr.org/news/nursing...
Nursing no longer considered a professional degree by Trump administration
The Trump administration is no longer considering nursing as a professional degree. That means getting financial help to complete advanced degrees in nursing could become more difficult at a time when...

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Rach, who's probably never read an unpirated book in her life, thinks authors should have backup plans. Most authors make their living from other professions and and work hard so that one day they might *actually* live off writing income. Rach's smug, book-pirating ass earned a block. 😏

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?
