Speak Up Before VA Health Care Is Gutted While controversy swirls around last week's mass firing of 1,000 Department of Veterans Affairs' employees, a far greater threat to veterans' health care is going completely unnoticed.

The VA is under attack too. www.military.com/daily-news/o...

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

So, just a thought.

Has anyone filed an identity theft charge against Elon Musk? He is not an agent of the OPM or feds, and while Trump will ultimately pardon him, a civil suit would not be pardonable.
If a class action was done for every citizen, we could bankrupt Musk to hell!

Ending Overpayment in Medicare Advantage A new Center for American Progress analysis finds that Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are overpaid by 22 to 39 percent; savings from curbing MA overpayments should be used to improve the Medicare progr...

The federal government overpays Medicare Advantage private insurers between 22 and 39% compared to traditional Medicare

This diverts taxpayer $ to enrich shareholders and executives.

An American city is on fire and the world’s richest man has done nothing but lie and make it worse.

Thank you to the people who are actually putting their lives on the line to save this country and fuck that spoiled rotten limp dick South African and any of the tough guys who live to kiss his ass.

He's sticking to the script he was given by the Kremlin. Domestic issues are irrelevant when your objective as undercover KGB is to weaken America's diplomatic power around the globe, beginning with our own trusted allies. All of this goes back to Russia and Putin.

We should be very worried.

We should be very worried.

I think we should be worried.

But I must admit ... as it all comes down around us in a curious cascade of unexpected connections and collapse, we are learning so much about how it was put together when it was working. So much interplay and connections!

It may just be a distraction, but it's not without serious consequences. It has made it very clear to the rest of the world that the USA is no longer an ally that can be relied on or trusted. This is not a small thing.

Trump's celebration of Zuckerberg caving to his threats is really about slowly acclimating us to the tactic of corruptly threatening prosecution to force people into submission.

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out

Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades
