Actual footage of me watching conservative political discourse after Charlie Kirk's death when it comes out the shooter was indeed conservative.

Fantastic reporting from the NYT.

"JPMorgan ultimately processed more than $1 billion for him and warned senior mgmt abt his suspicious activities. But on at least 4 occasions over 5 yrs, the bank’s leaders overrode those objections and continued to serve Epstein."

Flashback: Epstein Survivors sued the banks for allowing fraudulent transactions related to them in 2023. The banks quietly settled out court. Strange thing for the banks to do over a "hoax". @wyden.senate.gov has more receipts. Always follow the money.

Epstein survivors secure a $290 million settlement with JPMorgan Chase

JPMorgan agreed to the settlement on the same day a federal judge granted class-action status to the lawsuit, saying the number of plaintiffs involved could be "well over 100 people."

All of these days of no economic activity really aren't working. Want a real way to #resist? Don't file your taxes this year. They are dismantling the government. Clearly, our tax prayer dollars are going to the billionaires who aren't paying taxes at all. So, don't file your taxes. #Protest

What? Trump isn't replacing the chickens and mandating the price of eggs be capped at $2 a dozen?!? Is America great yet?

Just Jack @just-jack-1.bsky.social · Jan 23

Eggs up 37%.

You can thank Bird flu in the streets and Bird brain in the White House.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect

Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Did he sign an executive order capping the price of eggs at $2 a dozen? Are the eggs cheaper yet?

You become indifferent. Maybe you forgive, maybe you don't. Indifference is your friend either way.

Republicans trying to cut Medicaid when they said they wouldn't. Republicans Lie. Every. Time. Are the eggs cheaper yet?

Senator Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov · Jan 17

This is their plan to starve Medicaid. Gutting Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars will rip health care away from kids, veterans, seniors in nursing homes, Americans with disabilities, and working families. You don’t cut a TRILLION dollars from Medicaid without hurting millions of people.

Medicaid Per Capita Caps Up to $900 billion in 10-year savings VIABILITY: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW Currently, states receive open-ended Federal Medicaid matching funds based on the costs of providing services to enrollees. Under Medicaid today, for every dollar a state spends on Medicaid services, it gets $1 to $3 of Federal support (richer states get $1, poorer states get $3). States are guaranteed continued federal support for actual spending, even if those costs go up or do not achieve desired outcomes. With a per capita cap, the federal government makes a limited payment to the state based on a preset formula, which does not increase based on actual costs. States exceeding the “cap” for enrollees would thus need to find other revenues to maintain spending levels or explore innovative ways to reduce excessive costs. This policy would establish a per capita cap for each of the different enrollment populations set to grow at medical inflation.

They are looking at monotumsimab for me if this 4th line of treatment stops working. I'm on the chemo oral pill Tazverik right now. It seems to be working, though we won't know how well until the bone marrow biopsy Feb 11. I'm just working on not getting sick or having an infection. 🤞

I hope that last dose goes well. The last doses are rough, but at least you are done! You did it! I also hope your remission time is long. ❤️
