Have these conditions? You most likely won't be able to get insurance, or your premiums will be three to four times more expensive (just like the good ole' days 😡).

John McCain was the one that saved us before. He's gone, as are most of the other moderates.

So many of us will needlessly die! 🤬

A lengthy list of illnesses that are considered pre-existing conditions that may not be covered by the new Republican "healthcare" bill. Many are life threatening and a guaranteed death sentence or a highly probable death sentence (such as AIDS, Alzheimer's, Asthma, Cancer, Cardiomyopathy (heart enlargement), COPD, Liver cirrhosis, Congestive Heart Failure, Diabetes, Dialysis, Multiple Sclerosis, Organ transplants, Parkinson's, Renal/Kidney failure, Tuberculosis, etc). We'd be going back to basically the middle ages for healthcare (especially if vaccines are also prevented from being offered).

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Could you imagine having a job where you've called off all but 12 days in 79 days, and still have that job?

Yea me neither.

But the MAGA republican regime thinks that's OK, and if we check their CR, we would probably find they gave themselves raises again.

For doing nothing.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Sorry, is there a question here?

Close the goddam camps if you can’t comply with safety measures.

This isn’t the first time flash flooding in this zone has killed campers, just the most well known with the highest death toll.

Anyone else think it's odd that the US just lost one of its last major munitions producer on the day the Nobel peace prize was awarded? The world has basically run out of high explosives and has no immediate capacity to scale back up to produce it again. Could be coincidence but it's kinda spooky.

“All of these actions reflect a buoyed commander in chief who feels emboldened to go further after feeling as though he has faced surprisingly little resistance to his ambitious agenda in the first nine months. He has even remarked to aides that he is shocked how easy it has all proven to be.”
