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."

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

It's just weird how historically bad things are, but talking about it is just lib nonsense.

I wonder if the lead up to Civil War I had large portions of the population being like "They did not fire on Fort Sumter, you're just being hysterical again." Or just an assumption that we can't sell the people on opposing southern rebellion because low info voters won't understand or care.

If your reaction to this was “oh good the Oregon national guard leadership is on the side of the citizenry” followed by an infinitely sinking pit in your stomach, you are correct.

Oregon National Guard general said that if they were deployed, his troops would be instructed to protect the protesters, not ICE.

We should definitely make resident hazing generally and 24 hour shifts specifically illegal tho. Those practices don't happen because of a health insurance CEO. They happen because of senior doctors.

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice

I think this is half the goal of AI for those seeking a post-truth order. Yes, they can produce fake evidence against people they don’t like, but probably more importantly they can dismiss actual evidence against them as being fake.

Iowa is not gerrymandered. #IA01 is a top target for both parties, and Miller-Meeks is one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the country.

I think generative AI could've been built and deployed to minimal fanfare and disruption to society, but instead the entire infotech industry decided it was the thing that would save it from irrelevance, and now it's been pushed everywhere.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

Okay this is worth breaking out into a separate conversation: basically no. What's being confused here is the cost impact to the patient and the cost of healthcare. Coverage, by itself does not change the the cost of a service. It just changes who pays it.

Coonbaya My Lord @powdercuff.bsky.social · 15h

But they do deny medications that patients need, reject covering necessary procedures, etc. Is the conversation not about the cost of healthcare? This is 99% the fault of health insurance CEOs. I brought up the 24hr shifts to illustrate that doctors are also victims of a predatory health system.

K. Chen @tznkai.bsky.social · 15h

Again, health insurance CEOs don't make doctors do 24-hour shifts, they don't run the hospitals, clinics or the private practices.
