It's inconceivable, really.

This is a terrible, minimizing and lazy take. Medicare (trad'l) works amazingly, Medicaid and the VA too, esp before the efforts to dismantle them. How can one have faith in the system the craps on itself (thx Vought/p2025) and just perpetuates the bad faith tropes. Surprised at PSA for this.

Sssssh. If we just let them believe that the ACA is new because it has new branding, then it's just the ACA and everybody is well. Let's just not do a "New Coke" version of healthcare.

And they will damn well use the same violence again to make sure of it.

Preach.

what I am really saying here is

IF ICE ISN'T PAYING YOU TO DO PR ABOUT HOW BIG AND STRONG AND UNSTOPPABLE THEY ARE, STOP DOING IT FOR FREE

Meanwhile, in countries still following science, they're doubling down on protection for their most vulnerable.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Opinion: Our petty, hollow, squalid ogre in chief Opinion: We are led by the most loathsome human being ever to occupy the White House.

“What more is there to say about the character of this petty, hollow, squalid, overstuffed man? — sometimes the point bears stressing: We are led by the most loathsome human being ever to occupy the White House.”

When @cbsnews.com is now essentially acting as a PR agent for FELON/Adjudicated RAPIST Donald J. "Bone Spurs" Trump - protecting sexual abusers in the process - did anybody really believe 60 Minutes would be able to run a report on CECOT that angers Trump & Stephen Miller?
CBS is most sincerely dead

📌NOTE: There's no newsroom guidance I'm aware of that says journalists have to just sit there and take it when an ill-bred slob, and convicted felon calls them "piggy" and shrugs off the brutal killing of one of their colleagues by simply saying, "things happen."

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

😅.

How long will we likely have to suffer under a Vance VP-> presidency once the orangina finally strokes out? And then what?

Early health sets us up for long term health. So let the kids get muddy!

My family photos from prior generations - Yr 1: 13 children - tallest to smallest; Yr2: 6 children (remaining) tallest to smallest. Diphtheria took SEVEN (7) children. In a year.

The symbolism is even gauche. Congress is at a standstill, having worked a mere 20 days since July 4, the shut down has put thousands out of work, prices are soaring, and Trump is literally demolishing the White House for a ....ballroom while posting imagery of dropping sh*# on US citizens.

This is absurd and obscene.

It's part of the bonding not the dividing.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

...while CMS pauses payments to Medicare providers.

The insanely spectacular.

"The fact that the GOP is unwilling to defend the role of the GOP-controlled Congress is the GOP’s problem to solve."

Text card: Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary. #OnTyranny

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.

It's getting close to time. Mobilize.

Hi America. This is you.
Mirror mirror!!!

This is chilling:

“The goal is to unravel enough of the federal government now. That it will make it impossible for Democrats to rebuild it even when they do get back to the White House.”

Please put him in a room with those generals. Just ten minutes. Please.

Great essay!
