Former nonprofit professional. Current community organizer. I love my family, friends, animals, books, music, and democracy.

If they deregulate business and radically reduce access to real health care, which they are doing, while opening up to all kinds of quacks, which they are doing, then we should expect a class dimension to what follows: prevention and medicine for the richer, ill health and quackery for the poorer.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Counterpoint: Let people have meaningful access to quality health coverage instead of coming up with these moronic proposals that still screw over lower-middle and middle-income Americans.
Hawley is pitching his colleagues — and Trump — on a new health care plan that would allow all tax payers to deduct up to $25K/person in medical expenses.
Hawley told us he recently discussed the idea with Trump: “I said...'no taxes on tips, no taxes on health care’, and he goes ‘oh I like that."
