(1) Healthcare doesn’t work in an insurance model because, unless you die young suddenly, at some point, we’re all bad risks. The only way to reduce risk with insurance is to pool the good risks with the bad, and the bigger the pool the better. Universal coverage is the biggest pool. 1/4
That frustration when you are seriously interested in the topic or plot of a Sleep Story on Calm but you can’t make it more than 3 minutes in.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Chris Murphy: "They have decided that if democracy can elect a Democrat, it’s not worth it… because they believe that Democrats are an existential threat to American identity, and American identity is Christian white male dominated. A party that believes... in equal rights, is a threat to America"

Examples of "the best government that money can buy" are becoming more depressing. Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted accepted more than $115,000 in campaign contributions from Les Wexner, one of 6 people listed as Epstein's co-conspirators, and then voted against releasing the Epstein files.
Husted took donations from Epstein co-conspirator Les Wexner, then voted to block file release
Campaign records show Sen. Jon Husted took $116,892 from Les Wexner since 2001, including months before voting to block release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

#Epstein is a snowball rolling downhill.
It's getting bigger every day,
It's picking up momentum, and
When it gets to the bottom, it'll be like the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, one dinosaur in particular.

Dems are about to effectively shutdown the DHS. Now it’s time to impeach Kristi Noem!
Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem
Contact Congress today!

🎩 Our government’s been using Epstein’s blackmail information for decades

I believe it’s one of the main reasons we can’t have a functioning government

Removing everyone implicated in the Epstein files is the key to taking our country back

We need to rip these people out of power!

While I agree w all the practical and political objections to the SAVE Act, I actually believe those are secondary and miss the primary objection:
There is NO EVIDENCE of non-citizens voting in federal elections: 77-85 cases between 1999-2023.
There is NEITHER NEED nor JUSTIFICATION for a law

The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote.

Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple.

Call your senators to urge them to vote no: (202) 224-3121

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:

“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”

The ad aged. The internet remembers.

I think I’d rather be waterboarded than have to listen to Pam Bondi in another hearing. Her voice is still ringing in my ears. It’s like nails on a chalkboard. I think it could seriously cause psychological harm if you are overexposed to it.

Today’s performance by Pam Bondi was not only unacceptable, it was clearly a smoke screen for a coverup, and her anger is at herself because her shattered moral compass still has a pulse.

The work she has done to prosecute ice for the crimes that they have done is none. Basically none. It's a disgrace and people are angry about this.
