Please educate me: how do hospitals get paid for treating people who have no way to pay? Sounds like racist BS though.

Also: hospitals are required to treat people until they're stabilized. Triage happens. If two people show up, one with a UTI and one w/a MI, second will get treated first.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

This is the most accurate depiction of 70s vintage American cars ever. My father owned a 74 Vega. It's battery exploded all over him in the garage, and then the engine blocked followed shortly after in 1977 with <30k miles on it. The hulk was towed out of our driveway, never to move again.

love that we had a whole national reckoning over the media's coverage of Biden's advanced age and none of the scolds who High Horsed us can be bothered to spend even a minute reflecting on the fact that Trump has basically become Mr. Burns in the "Spruce Moose" episode of THE SIMPSONS

The Trump administration has ordered FBI employees in Washington, DC, to immediately search their workstations and digital media for any records pertaining to the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, a law enforcement source told CNN.

If it is medical treatment, you cannot logically square blocking bans on conversion therapy based on the Skrmetti decision.

SCOTUS will anyway, but the decision is going to be absolutely tortured Calvinball.

Zack Ford @zackford.bsky.social · 1d

ADF is trying to have it both ways. They say conversion therapy is "just speech," but also that it's medical treatment that has an impact. It can't be both. If it's medical treatment, it can and should be regulated, and we know from the mental health consequences that the speech is not mere words.

I missed this somehow. My life has been pretty busy. But, I would absolutely put this in the category of politically motivated violence.

However, neither the big name media or the WH will breathe a word of it because of who did it.

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it.

Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes.

He's now charged with murder.

Thanks you!

Unknown. But, she didn't display reactivity or a high "chase" drive or leash pulling to get at other dogs when I tested her, and she's pretty small for a husky mix, so there's a decent chance she'd learn to leave kitties alone.

Hey, putting this back out there: please help me find someone to foster or adopt this sweet husky mix. She's going to go on the red list soon, and I need ya'lls help. If you see this, please share / re-post to get the word out and get it in front of as many eyeballs as possible.

I visited Breezy / Scratch today in Modesto, and she needs a home. I did all sorts of behavioral tests on her, and she's going to be a great companion: she just needs some training. Please, someone give her a home before I do. I can't afford a divorce. #BG3

Yeah, but Dems will look at these numbers and conclude they can shave a point or two off of close races by spewing anti trans stuff. Basically, become Labour and make the US unlivable everywhere instead of just the red states.

The polling here is actually terrible, with most voters agreeing with Sears, and supporting "separate but equal" for transgender people.

That's not a win.

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US.

And nobody covered it.

Democrats are running on / against Trump. Republicans are predominantly running on the message that Democrats are focused on transgender people (note: your average Democrat is currently terrified of being caught saying anything to defend trans people from the 1000+ anti-trans bills this year).
