Hear me out: we bring back the public option and then we only subsidize the public option and leave the private insurance companies to make it work in an actual “marketplace”. If people end up choosing the public option after seeing what the “market” is actually like then baby that’s just capitalism

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.

I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.

And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Hold UP you all had Wendy’s doing fucking Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwiches? And you didn’t force them to keep it?! For shame.
Wendy's Chicken Cordon Bleu (1991, 1992, 1995): A crispy chicken filet topped with ham, swiss cheese, mayo, and Grey Poupon dijon mustard, served on a toasted kaiser roll. Due to consumer demand, it was brought back the next year for a limited run, and then again in 1995.

Denial enacted in policy, no downsides to that I’m sure
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

NEW: Federal prison workers are jumping ship & heading to ICE for better pay + bonuses. Already BOP lost >1400 people this year, reversing all of 2024’s staffing gains. It’s an unintended consequence of Trump’s push for mass deportations

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE
Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

“We may not revolt as one, but we are revolted as one, e pluribus nauseam”
Highly recommend @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s “They Knew: How a Culture of Conspiracy Keeps America Complacent”. She wrote it in 2022.
Reading Sarah’s work has prepared me for this moment, and I credit her with making me painfully in touch with reality.
Surprised her books haven’t been banned, tbh.

Once the top U.S. fast-casual chain, Panera has dipped to number three, falling behind Chipotle and Panda Express.

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

Universities across the world from the US to the UK to Australia and Canada, are now "led" by an interchangeable Global Admin class who swap places every couple of years. Their blandness, lack of local roots and commitments, and general third-tier-CEO vibes are their main feature, not a bug. 2/4

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.
