They’ve been slashing healthcare due to “waste, fraud and abuse”.

Telling people they must “prove they matter” to receive Medicaid.

Yet this man frauded the system of $1.2 billion dollars and what does he get?

A pardon!

It was never about saving money.

It’s eugenics.

An editor who thinks novelty is having a town hall with Alan Dershowitz, or publishing the thousandth anti-woke story, doesn’t think having first hand testimony of migrants suffering abuse because of US decisions is newsworthy.
Bari Weiss, cont'd: "I held that story because it wasn't ready. The story presented very powerful testimony of abuse in CECOT, but that testimony has already been reported... The public knows that Venezuelans have been subjected to horrific treatment in this prison... we simply need to do more."

new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

I live in DC. You think “official Washington” didn’t care what Trump administration 2 was likely to do?

Talk to someone who works at NIH. Or State. Or CFPB. Or DOJ. They all knew what was at stake. They were all scared + furious.

And reporters like Nuzzi saw none of it because they didn’t care.

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

Bears repeating that one of Russia’s first major social media influence campaigns in the US promoted antivax views. Why? For it’s a way to do clear material harm to the country.
