My husband planned to retire in December. I'm not eligible for Medicare until Aug so I planned to get an Obamacare policy. I found one in Oct that was $800/month. Now it's $2000/month.

So now my husband isn't going to retire. I hate Trump & GOP so much.

Joyce Carol Oates
@Joyce... 17h O
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciatesβ€” scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."

Illinois: $1 billion in battery investment will save consumers $13 billion in capacity costs.

This is what @jigarshahdc.bsky.social and I have been talking about the past years. As capacity costs rise while battery costs plummet, we will see more of this.

Rick Scott: Totally agree, @POTUS! I'm writing the bill right now.
We must stop taxpayer money from going to insurance companies and instead give it directly to Americans in HSA-style accounts and let them buy the health care they want. This will increase competition & drive down costs.

Rick Scott is right, government funding for health insurance is such a scam.

Trump also just released the guy who lied to the FBI about the Bidens taking bribes.

He has ties to Russian intelligence β€” and Trump’s businesses.

Again: The law does not apply to them.

Mamdani has already implemented Sharia law. Abortion severely limited, often outlawed. Doctors who help-arrested. Plan B outlawed. Women's clinics closed. Women are dying in parking lots. Said "A woman's job is to stay home make babies & shut up". Oh wait. That wasn't him. That was the republicans.

Left: cropped photo of Donald Trump standing slack-jawed like a zombie, his shoulders stooped, arms hanging at his sides (and his right hand visibly swollen). 

Left: Christopher Walken adopting a similar stance, indicating disengagement or ennui, as the music video builds up to his goofily exuberant dancing.

Just realized that in that surreal shot of Sir ignoring the fainting guy, his expression and stance are very much like Christopher Walken's pre-dance look in "Weapon of Choice." But Walken lacks Sir's grossly swollen right hand.

This makes sense when you understand that Tesla is currently valued at $1.4 trillion, of which maybe $30 billion is based on its worth as a car company and the other $1,370,000,000,000 is based on the estimated resale value of Elon Musk's invisible clothes
