remember that time john roberts said the ACA couldn’t use federal dollars to compel red states to expand medicaid? yeah, me too
NEW: Rural health is in crisis. Congress created a $50B rescue package and gave states just weeks to compete for a slice of it.

$3.75B hinges on whether states pass a series of Trump-approved policies, including restrictions on SNAP.

Democrats and health advocates described the strategy as highly unusual, and some fear it could be wielded to favor political allies.

Health insurance premiums will soon double for millions of Americans unless Congress acts. Democrats support a concrete solution to prevent price spikes, but Congressional Republicans refusal to act will cost all Americans.

It's hard to have weathered a life of hearing conspiracy theories you know can't be true, and are provably wrong, only to live long enough where a true conspiracy occurs, out in the open, for all to see, and you feel crazier and crazier as it worsens day by day by day.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court seems likely to expand president's power and back Trump's firing of independent-agency board members.

Parallels between Trump and AI are endless. Both overpromise, underdeliver. They put people out of jobs. They lie and steal constantly. They think they know way more than they do. Both backed by techbro billionaires. Neither are any fucking good at their job. And everywhere you turn, there they are.
The AI hype bubble driving the stock market is also the Trump bubble.

Facing reality on one—“cost a lot to run, low revenue, isn’t superintelligence” or “tariffs, corruption, and chaos are real”—will make reality hit on the other.

So they’ll try to keep inflating it, and then we’re in for a crash.

The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC.

@kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up.
