What is the leading health care concern in the United States? It is high costs + high deductibles + copays, which translates to … unaffordability and family economic risk. www.healthjusticemonitor.org/sky-high-aca...
116,000 Minnesotans lost health care coverage this year. Highest uninsured rate in almost ten years.
Fund health care. Not this war.
They also must be kinda shuffling around.
I am imagining a Mr. Tudball kinda thing

Absolutely this. The main takeaway from this is that these people live in a lawless world where the only rules are the ones they write.
"Getting a license with an updated gender marker costs $8.75, while receiving a new ID is $26."
Buying men shoes that are clownishly big for them and having them feel like they have to wear them in front of the world press is a sex thing, I’m sorry.

“epstein class is iranian propaganda” is definitely something i’d expect the epstein class to say
“Diversity,” “equity” & “inclusion” are rooted in the principles of justice, representation and belonging.

Adam Serwer coins a new word for the "mixture of gullibility and cynicism prevalent in all ranks of totalitarian movements" identified by Hannah Arendt.
He calls it 'gullicism.'
This is a thought-provoking piece about snake oil salesmen and why even smart people fall prey to them..

Beginning to think that right wing defenses of free speech and opposition to cancel culture might not have been completely sincere
Previously: A federal jury trial that began Feb 17 is the first major test of the Trump admin’s campaign to label left-wing activists as domestic terrorists. The case is the first time the government has ever filed terrorism charges against “antifa."
One in five child care workers are immigrants. When you raid and deport them, you aren't just upending an individual’s life. You’re closing child care centers, reducing capacity, and driving up costs for every working parent in America.

The Navy is increasingly concerned that the Islamic State or other terrorist groups could acquire and deploy cheap naval mines, which analysts say are available on the international black market to any group able and willing to pay. One potential nightmare scenario: A few mines in the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle East could shut down the key shipping channel for days or weeks. A fifth of the world’s oil supply moves through the narrow passage, the only route connecting the oil-rich Persian Gulf region to the open sea. Blocking it for even a few days could have a significant impact on global markets. To emphasize the concern, the mine-clearing exercise led by the U.S. this spring tested how the international community would respond if a terrorist group placed mines in Hormuz or in other strategic choke points in the region. Reporters for The Virginian-Pilot and the Investigative Reporting Program traveled to Bahrain in April to observe the exercise.
I wrote this a decade ago after traveling to Bahrain while investigating the U.S. Navy's aging minesweeping systems, which had fallen into disrepair:
"One potential nightmare scenario: A few mines in the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle East could shut down the key shipping channel for days or weeks"
The mixture of fascism, grift, and incompetence that goes into making SECRET POLICE trucks for your secret police is such a good distillation of this administration

Now they're insulting Trump, yet he stays submissive to Putin.
Something’s up with Trump/Russia.
Is it Trump/Russia/Epstein?

Taking pharmaceuticals away for political reasons, from people who will absolutely die without them, is the epitome of evil. No one involved in the decision to do this should be tolerated in society, much less politics.

I don't think this summary is quite right. Cramer wasn't confused about who won the Vietnam War. Clip is below.
Colorado’s warm winter broke the previous record for highest average temperature by nearly 2°F. Colorado is one of nine states in the West with the warmest winter on record. Rising levels of greenhouse gases are behind warming around the globe.
