It’s a problem that many Americans don’t have coverage for medical care and that number will get much worse; but it’s also a huge problem that Americans can’t afford coverage without subsidies. We can make health care more affordable. Every other country in the world has done it.

Seems like a waste of money to investigate Obama or Biden since the Supreme Court has decided Presidents have broad immunity.

Pam Bondi told Trump he is in the Epstein investigation files. Oregon Senator Ron Wyden says Trump can release bank records for Epstein anytime he wants but hasn’t. And Johnson shut down the House rather than have a vote on releasing documents. Sounding pretty fishy.

Meddling in Middle East countries’ affairs is to the American government what an object on a table is to a cat. No matter how many times they see the same result they still have knock crap over.

@dcrainmaker.com Talk about a quirk. Garmin changed the swim rest screen to have white numbers on a yellow background. Add foggy, wet, tinted googles and it’s very difficult to see. Garmin support said maybe if enough people complain they would change it. Not an inspiring answer.

@governorwalz.mn.gov and @senjohnmarty.bsky.social Changing to Day Light Saving time is bad for us. And Minnesota can opt out of it. I am a doctor and have seen some of the research but don’t just take my word for it: aasm.org/american-aca...

In general VA hospitals ranked better than other hospitals. So maybe health care provided to all Americans by our government wouldn’t be the end of the world?

Last I heard, Russia is a strong supporter of North Korea and Iran who both want to wipe the US off the planet. But against the rest of the United Nations we are throwing our support to Russia. Who again, are supporting people who hate us.

Thousands of workers fired over the weekend without any review of their performance or their responsibilities. FEMA? Fired as Kentucky and California try to recover. FFA? Fired while planes are crashing. CDC? Fired while bird flu and measles are going crazy. www.startribune.com/trump-admini...

The Super Bowl and Fox are trying way too hard to convince everyone America is doing OK and it’s just coming across as desperate. Even Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise sound like they are pleading.

Elon Musk is arguing with Trump about H1 Visas saying America doesn’t have enough talent for the work Silicon Valley needs. Maybe if corporations and billionaires paid their taxes we could invest in schools and have Americans do those jobs? Instead of trying to bring back coal mining.

Trump is pushing getting rid of day light saving time. Sleep specialists have recommended that for years. Staying on standard time more closely matches our circadian rhythms and in Minnesota if we stay on daylight saving sunrise won’t be until 9am in December.

UnitedHealth Limits Access to Key Treatment for Kids With Autism
UnitedHealth does not exist to provide proven, beneficial care. It exists to make as much money as possible. We can make care the priority over profit anytime we want. Just need to tell our politicians to make it happen.

Dr. Debby Day said her bosses at Cigna gave her a stark warning:
Work faster, or the company might fire her.

She said her bosses cared more about being fast than being right: “Deny, deny, deny. That’s how you hit your numbers.”

How bad did Meta (nee Facebook) screw this up? A huge exodus from X (nee Twitter) and Threads is so bad everyone says to join Bluesky. You were born on third base and got picked off.
