Trump doesn’t understand the concept of insurance — it works by having the premiums from healthy people being enough to cover the medical expenses of sick people. The health insurance system needs to be reformed, but Trump is too incompetent to fix it.

The people carrying out the bombings are potentially liable. If a cop is ordered to shoot an unarmed prisoner, following orders is not a valid defense. It was murder. So is this. But perhaps immunity can be given for testifying against the truly guilty — those who gave the illegal orders.

Just another example of how far our country has fallen under the horrific Trump regime, where murder and racism is celebrated by those in power and by members of the MAGA cult.

That’s for sure!

They really are going all in on the Brownshirts analogy, aren’t they? I guess, if the “shirt” fits, wear it.

As an American, I do too! OK, it’s not the same as 1930’s Germany, but the analogy is there.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

It’s no wonder they wear masks. They should be ashamed for what they are doing.

The more I read U.S. history (including about the Civil War and the Jim Crow era) the more I realize MAGA is the resurrection of the anti-slavery, anti-Civil Rights South. That’s the country they want to return to.

A key problem is the inherent conflict of interest of having for-profit insurance companies making coverage decisions, when their allegiance is owed to shareholders, not the patients. And under ERISA, despite being. “Fiduciaries,” they can’t be sued for damages for bad faith denials.

I was 15 and on a family vacation from Kansas in Washington DC! I was obsessed with Watergate, which created my fascination with politics (and the free press).

AI is not inherently good or bad; it is a tool that can be used for good or bad . Health insurance companies can use AI to deny claims based on restrictive internal guidelines, which can hurt patients. But AI can also be used to facilitate challenges to improper denials, thereby helping patients.

Trump enacts this betrayal, while only allowing immigration for white South Africans, based on misleading and deceptive claims.

True, but still a very luck shot that allowed them to win the game!

I sent this to my two Knick-fan sons and my Celtics-fan brother in the 1st half of today’s game. I thought I was kidding, but realized after-the-fact that I was actually serious! ——- “Good strategy by the Knicks to get down by 20 so they can do their comeback.”

The Pacers shot 7-7 3s in the 4Q of game 1 (including the last ridiculously lucky one). If they shot 6-7, Knicks win.

Trump apparently really believes that the picture showed that Garcia had M-S-1-3 on his fingers. Yet, any normal person could tell that was added to the picture by MAGA to “interpret” the tattoos. I just wish Terry Moran would have been clear in his response on why Trump was wrong.

So true!

This is the point. No one with an ounce of integrity or morality would oppose the return to the US of a man mistakenly sent to a brutal prison in El Salvador. And the lack of due process is all you should need for the legal argument (which applies to everyone else as well). We all should protest.

Strange. I hadn’t even realized there was such an emergency wood shortage.

I find it outrageous as well.

Omg

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

Trump/MAGA could not care less if innocent people are imprisoned and brutalized. Anyone supporting this should be shamed and ostracized.

I hope young lawyers looking for which firm to join will remember how Paul Weiss took the knee, and look elsewhere.

This is truly horrific. No one can reasonably support what has been done. The Trump Administration is a unique mix of incompetence and evil. x.com/reichlinmeln...
