anyone know how to bust someone out of jail for one last job before retirement
United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.
How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage
Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

This big man won’t allow responses from dirty little people like me nor actually respond to what I actually said, but he’s happy to send his sycophants in my direction.
Yes, if it's something that James Carville and I have in common, it's that we both watched Fox over the past few years and totally absorbed its message.

These people uncritically accepted the Fox News, right wing narrative around what constituted "woke" and now they're out here lecturing us on something they either intentionally misunderstood or never understood in the first place.

Random masked strangers have no right to demand your ID. Let them prove they have a right to ask for it before you show them jack.
Don’t show anyone claiming to be ICE any identification unless they show you theirs. And even then, tell them to go fuck themselves. Do not answer them and do not acknowledge them when they speak to you. Unless you see a warrant or an ID, that’s nobody.

A lot of people are going to love that Carville said this. (They will not love him saying that the performative moral preening has to go.)

My infantry Bn had a really hard time parsing the gender and sexuality issues of Southern Helmand.
When people say, "you wouldn't want a 'purple haired gender studies major' in the Marines" I reply "YES we desperately needed them!" We had teams of anthropologists who published studies for us.

The Scout Traveler is an offroad EV w/ a solid axle, axle mounted electric motors, 150 miles range and a gas generator. You could drive it as an EV 95% or more of the time, only filling up to go on long road trips.
New cars aren't a thing I'm likely to ever buy again, but I hope it succeeds big.

2027 Scout Traveler First Look: A Proper 4x4 Off-Roader?!
The first of Volkswagen's resurrected Scout models get body-on-frame construction, a live rear axle, and tons of capability.

Does he have the self awareness not to run again in 4 years or do we get a tied senate at some point where he switches parties trying to keep his seat? It's clear that his former base rightly despises him.

In Rhode Island, ICE arrested an intern who worked for a court, and then a judge intervened to say they had the wrong person.
All leading to a scene where ICE agents surrounded the judge's car and "threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." www.wfla.com/news/judge-i...

The first thing @bsky.app tells you to do when you start a new account is follow 10 accounts. Before I'd even completed that, @safety.bsky.app had labeled my account as spam. I've appealed. Can @support.bsky.team help me? I hadn't even posted anything yet when I was labeled spam.

For years, I've just bulk forwarded all email from my 25 year old policywank.com I haven't posted there in 3 years or done anything with it. May eventually change that. Probably won't. 😀 But I did go to the trouble of updating the mx records and confg today to connect it to my proton account.

Well, start an account to just make text posts, focus the old one on photography, start following friends, and immediately get labeled as a "spam account" by @safety.bsky.app's moderation. lol. Maybe I won't be able to get off Meta platforms after all.
