Iβm currently reading βA Fever in the Heartlandβ by Timothy Egan. Itβs about the rise and fall of D.C. Stephenson, his expansion of the KKK in Indiana and Midwest, all the while assaulting and raping women. The description of his character is on par with the orange man in the oval. Excellent read.

But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, itβs time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We donβt need them as middlemen.
I love with the ACA has done for people with pre-existing conditions. But.
Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system.
For the subsidized silver/94 and /87 plans, around ~15 % of taxpayer $ stays with ins comps!

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.
If Biden were to order the Attorney General to release the Jack Smith report, the Supreme Court has ruled that would be an official act and subject to absolute presidential immunity. Just sayin.
Since it appears we can no longer email POTUS, Iβm going to call and remind him.
