12 Polling Places Move Before Mississippi Special Elections, 4 Close County election officials in Mississippi have moved 12 polling places and closed four since 2024, an MFP investigation finds.

NEW: 12 Mississippi polling places have moved and 4 have been closed ahead of the Nov. 4 legislative special elections, an MFP investigation finds.

Counties also have incorrect addresses in the state system for 11 polling places, risking sending some voters to the wrong location.

Opened this last night. I could afford to previously pay without subsidies but I can’t afford this. I feel hopeless.

Big Pharma Can Tweak Drugs to Keep Generics Off the Market Taking advantage of a broken patent system, Big Pharma is making minor tweaks to medications just to keep affordable generics off the market, a new report suggests. They’ve made billions of dollars in...

Big Pharma jacked up prices on 575 drugs in the first two fucking days of 2025 β€” then spent $227 million lobbying the government to protect their profits. While Americans skip doses and go broke, they’re buying silence in Washington.

I’m sorry too. I’m so tired of struggling and doing well and it going into a void where I can’t get ahead.
Thank you for the hug. πŸ€—

I opened it and it says they don’t know what my premium would be until the marketplace opens on Nov 1st.
My deductible is also doubling. I guess I will be lucky to even have this deductible if I can afford to keep my plan. It was finally working for me. I have referrals approved until late next yr.

I’m paralyzed with fear. My ACA benefit package for next year just came in the mail.
I’m going to try and get through the things I NEED to do today before I open it in case I’m so paralyzed in fear at losing my healthcare I can’t function. #healthcare #shutdown

It would be so easy for journalists to point out, every time Trump mentions acing an IQ test, that it was a dementia screening. Put it in the chyron. Mention it after the quote in the article. Ask a follow-up. But a kind of decorum masking deference to authority is part of our media's culture.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Wow! Very impressive for them to do all of this in 2020 while Trump was president and they weren't in the government! Very normal post from the President of the United States!

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

For some of us it is/will be our biggest problem.
Some of us are in treatment and can’t afford to add thousands of dollars to our already expensive healthcare costs.
