listen, hospitals are just going to have to shift from a sustainable model where they provide care to an unsustainable model where they close - if they can't accept that, they should close

FLOOD: Here's the deal: Some hospitals that are rural hospitals are going to eventually have to transition from being acute bed hospitals into being an ER model

Meanwhile our senior senator thinks Democrats should not talk about any of this in their shutdown fight because “it’s gotta be health care all the way.” He is predictably, devastatingly wrong and I wish the people in power cared about our city and our neighbors more than whatever this approach shows

“the first American-born pope urged them to “speak strongly” on behalf of migrants and refugees affected by Trump’s deportation drive.”

Sure hope—and honestly kind of assume— that’s coded language for “take action, hide people,” etc.

We aren't getting our democracy back without first crushing billionaires' ability to monopolize public discourse. The simplest solution would be to tax billionaires out of existence, but however it's done it simply has to happen.

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 13h

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

Honestly with how often they're grabbing American citizens for having the wrong names, we're not far off from them 'deporting' Puerto Ricans. It wasn't that long ago that major news networks were saying Sotomayer 'immigrated' from Puerto Rico

I still get the weird feeling that Israel's going to get their hostages back, round up all of Hamas, and then execute them all before paving Gaza under.

I don't trust these guys and I don't think this is over.

🚨Fugitive of international justice Benjamin Netanyahu says he will convene his government tomorrow to approve Trump’s Gaza deal. He praised the army, thanked Trump, and said Israel would “achieve all our goals” with divine help.
