In Some States, Strapped Counties Must Impose Trump’s Medicaid Cuts

Great reporting on how the administrative costs of upcoming medicaid changes will hit Colorado counties www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

Working in a coffee shop today and they're playing "In-A-Godda-Davida" by Iron Butterfly (wow!) - recalling that I used to like to play this on the jukebox at one of the places we frequented in Charlottesville because I thought it was the best value for a quarter.

Yikes

Well deserved. The best.

Signed

Maybe they have higher costs due to naan tariff barriers

This is a video I made at work a couple of weeks ago to explain why economists are so concerned by attacks on the Fed’s independence, which may lead to more inflation and higher long-term interest rates (and there are bigger rule of law issues at stake tonight, too) m.youtube.com/watch?v=q7jJ...

I needed this today. Thank you for posting it.

Yikes. Not surprising, but yikes

Yep, “bonkers” is a very diplomatic way of putting it

Thank you - this is very helpful.

Black and white studio photo White and tabby young cat standing halfway inside a woven basket. It is on a dark table with a dark backdrop. Text at the bottom reads “think I’ll hide in here“.

It’s okay to hide in the basket of denial sometimes, but not too long. Postcard from my collection, 1906.

This is an attack on democracy itself.

No Democratic or Republican politician can be allowed to suppress the most basic facts that the reveal real-world effects of policy.

Facts are the only basis for accountability, and thus a firebreak against dictatorship.

On the 149th anniversary of statehood, Colorado has the:
*15th largest state economy ($569.2 billion)
*8th highest per capita personal income ($85,002)
*2nd highest share of the population 25 and over with a bachelor's degree (46.4%)
*10th largest outdoor recreation economy ($17.2 billion)

I’m old enough to remember when you could just buy something without being asked to ‘provide feedback’

And a little further back in the 80s, all those Cubs day games on cable (WGN)

Alabama receives more from Washington DC - $9316 per capita - than it sends. California $2129 (per cap), Mass ($3873), NJ ($3123) among net senders of funds. Colorado is net sender, $511 per capita, according to Rockefeller Institute. rockinst.org/issue-areas/...

Second. We also recently made this discovery and it is quite good.

So, 3.2-star officers?

A bag of “wilderness” cat treats with a bobcat on the package

Does giving these treats to my cat make up for the fact that she never gets to go outside?

When I saw this ad on Detroit TV in the 1980s, I didn't imagine that it would someday become president:

This is particularly important for this region - Colorado Springs has 2nd highest veteran share among metro areas with populations over 500,000 (metro area is El Paso + Teller counties, Killeen-Temple TX is highest)

Yes, please. Make it a double.

Who is Bukharin?

Indeed- just awful.

George Blaha is the best. Well-deserved. “Count that baby and a foul!”
