As employers' group premiums/ded/Out of Pocket rise - it's been 10-30% annually for years - more will be declining to offer to employees

Only way forward is Medicare for All

Start by opening up buy-in to age 50+ and expand younger over time

Lowers costs for both Medicare AND employer group pools!

This sounds REALLY familiar.

I think he was doing this in his first term too.

I'll go a step further: besides being able to cook 2 days in a row and then eat for an additional 3 (yay leftovers!), cooking/living solo gives me the good fortune of not having small talk during every freaking meal (or really any time during the day).

I love going long periods without chatter

KMFDM/Ministry tour 1990 was fucking wild. Huge fire pots. 10 ft chain link fence on stage in front of the band that people were climbing up on and launching themselves into the crowd.

Saw 3-4 shows. Got an incidental boot to the head at one of them (reminder to pay better attention).

So much fun!

So they're "proud of what we've accomplished"
which is:
Creating a platform for gov spying + possible lethal abuse

and have a "deep respect for Sam"
who is:
The guy who made a deal allowing unfettered spying on Americans.... oh, and autonomous kill decisions from a fancified fucking chatbot.

So, the threat from SA to Iran is:

Don't attack us..... or we're not going to do anything

But, we'll let the people who are already attacking you, attack you

Seems like a great, uh, deterrent. 🙄

And....

"I don't care about anyone or anything else but me"

Kristi Noem Says $200 Million DHS Ad Campaign Thanking Trump Was His Idea Donald Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said he instructed her to make ads that “thank me for closing the border.”

Even though it was common knowledge a year ago that he knew and approved of the ad campaign - Propublica broke it and a bunch of other media also corroborated

OK Gov has to pick an interim who is part of the same party for at least the past 5 years. This appointment will only last through Jan 2027 since MWM is up for reelection this year.

Thankfully, the Gov is not required to appoint a person as dumb as the last one... because I don't think there's one.

The Senator from the state of Montana, ladies and gentlemen.

Tim Sheehy should immediately resign.

There are so many things about this that make it

NOT

carbonara.

To be fair, Gym is REALLY good at pretending to not notice things.

Holy moly! Imagine if more conservative members of the House and Senate had this kind of commitment to their article I duties and responsibilities.

Cheryl Mills, ladies and gentlemen.

and @democracydocket.com - how the hell did that fall our of my brain when I was typing that comment? Mark Elias and his organization has done more to protect our voting rights than anyone else out there!

Every state and rights groups (like the @aclu.org @votersoftomorrow.org ) should see this info and start getting their ducks in a row so the emergency lawsuits can be filed the moment they pull this bullshit.

Just landed in Chicago. Not hopeful....

My 80+ year old parents are coming home and will have to stand for an hour after 15+ hours of travel. This isn't just convenience and security...

It's also literally a physical health concern for some. I don't know how we're going to manage this for them.

Two Peters, actually. One of them with his octogenarian parents who will now have to stand in an hour+ long line after 15 hours of travel, with no ability to sit down in the queue.

At least the airlines are being honest about DHS unplugging machines that make the process more efficient for TSA workers.

There's one clear choice in this primary... Hint: that candidate has an orange Heater

This is the totally innocuous interview that the FCC refused to let CBS air.... because talking about morality and goodness is apparently not American.....

Had neighbors who had a kia soul at the height of their popularity. The local dealership would periodically send them postcards to see if they wanted to sell or trade it.

The postcard was a picture of the car with a headline:

"We would like to buy your Soul"
