Last night,Russia attacked #Ukraine with 500 aerial targets: 539 drones, Kinzhal missile, six ballistic missiles, four cruise missiles.

#Kyiv was the main target.

As of now, 23 people injured by the attack.

The massive Russian attack took place right after Putin talked with President Trump.

We are seeing in real time what it looks like to claim to worship God while actually worshiping money and power.

Cost-cutting tactics

The secret bonuses were just one of many maneuvers UnitedHealth devised to track and cut expenses in its nursing home initiative.

Internal emails show, for example, that UnitedHealth supervisors gave their teams โ€œbudgetsโ€ showing how many hospital admissions they had โ€œleftโ€ to use up on nursing home patients.

The company also monitored nursing homes that had smaller numbers of patients with โ€œdo not resuscitateโ€ โ€“ or DNR โ€“ and โ€œdo not intubateโ€ orders in their files. Without such orders, patients are in line for certain life-saving treatments that might lead to costly hospital stays.

Two current and three former UnitedHealth nurse practitioners told the Guardian that UnitedHealth managers pressed nurse practitioners to persuade Medicare Advantage members to change their โ€œcode statusโ€ to DNR even when patients had clearly expressed a desire that all available treatments be used to keep them alive.

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money.

This is murder.

So the so-called โ€œagreementโ€ with China is that we roll back some of the insane tariffs we slapped on them, and the talks just go on? How is that a win for anyone?

And what happened to โ€œtariffs will pay down the debtโ€ or โ€œweโ€™ll use them to cut income taxesโ€? Every day itโ€™s a new lie,hard to keep up

They will welcome it as the necessary short term pain. The problem is that the โ€œshort termโ€ is indefinite because they love him so much. He is their god.
