Here's the plan: Simply assume that there's a well-functioning market for health insurance and then let people buy insurance in that imaginary market.

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

The Michigan Attorney General is leading a critical fight to protect consumers from corporations that cheat and steal. This case is about the price of insulin, but it’s about so much more: restoring Michiganders’ right to seek economic justice. ⚖️

Donald Trump's DOJ has recently started treating doxing as a crime, charging at least 4 people in SoCal with it.
Which makes it all the more corrupt that Juicebox Janine memory holed Trump's own doxing that led to dangerous stalking of Barack Obama.

In other words CJ Roberts “death by a thousand cuts” philosophy will carry the day.
First take out of court: The court appeared ready to make it more difficult for Voting Rights Act vote-dilution challenges to lead to additional majority-minority districts, but a majority also seemed likely to reject Louisiana’s argument that all “race-based redistricting” is unconstitutional.

Whatever one makes of the @radiofreetom.bsky.social position, remember, he is on our side.
This is exactly my view. I understand that some people disagree with it.
I think Tom’s quarrel is calling what we are in fascism, because he believes it leads to sloppy thinking, abandoning means we should still use, and defeatism, along with linguistic and historical inaccuracy. I am sympathetic if not entirely moved.
