Amazing!!

Good doggo!!

Wall Street gutted Steward Health Care. Patients paid the price. One of America's biggest for-profit hospital operators is bankrupt, broken, and responsible for countless mistreated patients—thanks to its private equity overlords.

If you've wondered how/why private equity firms got into providing healthcare (which truly is a bizarre connection), this may help you understand the details. And the impacts.

We can do better.

Thanks, @motherjones.com for more great reporting! Such a worthwhile subscription.

Really good assessment of the current reality - and what's to come soon - from a company owner.

A President with true comfort lying, frequently, should be worrying to all.

(And I'm not freaking naive, I understand that there are times when a lie is truly needed by a National leader, but it should be incredibly rare, not every day.)

This gives me a fond memory of the archeology dig I spent a month on, forever ago. Every morning we were woken up EARLY by herons "Kronnnking."

Yeesh, never got used to that....

Well, then. Isn't that ... interesting. They care so much about fraud and abuse of government that they're doing it themselves....

Thank you for pointing this my way. So well said....

Don't lose site of some of the .. stuff .. they're working to distract from. (Not just this, but also the whole tanking the economy, manipulating elections, doing everything they can to sell off our National Monuments and other publicly-owned lands, and maybe being a disgusting pedophile, too....)

Supreme Court Greenlights Transfer of Sacred Public Lands to Foreign Mining Giant Oak Flat, a sacred Apache site protected as public land for generations, will now be handed to Rio Tinto for copper mining – leaving a 1,000-foot crater in its place.

Never thought I'd find myself saying this, but: Thank you, Justices Thomas & Gorsuch, for trying....

I mean it's worked so well, so far.

Mother Forced to Keep Pregnant Daughter Alive After She’s Declared Brain Dead Due to Abortion Ban: ‘It’s Torture’ Adriana Smith, who is pregnant, has been brain dead for more than 90 days but is still being kept alive due to the state ban on abortion. Now, her mother is detailing how the experience has been “tort...

And on a much worse note.... As Liza knows, at some point each day I wonder out loud: "So what new fuckery have I missed during the day?" as I turn on NHPR or some other news source. This one ranks extremely high in the "fuckery" rankings, though apparently not new.

The clean energy boom that could snarl the GOP megabill Arizona Rep. Juan Ciscomani and other rank-and-file Republicans are facing a tough choice: resist Donald Trump’s efforts to gut Democrats’ climate law or incur the wrath of constituents who could lose...

Very 'interesting' political scenario is building for swing-District GOP Members, like this one in AZ. Do you support 'your' President's current will, or the needs of your constituents??

I like it. Then some other sucker Nation can get spied on, too.

I mean I thought this, when Vance spewed that nonsense, but I don't have standing on that like the .. checks notes .. new Pope does....

This is a new image from #JWST.

The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way.

Everything else is a galaxy.

Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

Was so glad to be in your most excellent country during the vote. Great to see you Canadians remind us what a civilized country, with an informed electorate, does when given clear choices of the path forward.

100 days in. Things are going great, if you like crap results, a weakened economy, diminished world respect, shrinking of Americans freedoms, and general chaos.

If those are your jam, the first 100 days have been .. well, they've been something.

Visiting Montreal from the USA right now. Here at a historic time, when they can, quite clearly, tell us what they think about our National choices .. and show us how to look out for their own, and others, with dignity, empathy, and a little care....

Seen on the Sons of Liberty feed....

So in on this!! I'll be pre-ordering from my local indy bookstore.

BTW: when you tour it, you should come to Gibson's in NH. (You've got a fan base in our backward corner of the US. 😁)

Definitely feeling left out of a club I never wanted in to. 🤷

Spot on!!

So Greenland gets a very generous UBI and the US doesn't even get an effing T-shirt?? FFS, please make it make sense....

That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off....

Oh, man, you were here??? At my local bookstore?? Doh.

Really bummed to see this now, rather than a few days ago. (My bad, I'm sure.)

Love your work. Next time, I hope....
