Bradford hospital submits closure notice. Ending emergency, inpatient and long-term care services by mid-2026 Bradford Regional Medical Center will close its inpatient, emergency and long-term care services by mid-2026, marking a continuing downward trend for Pennsylvania’s rural hospitals.

Glenn Thompson THIS IS YOUR FAULT! You voted to cut Medicaid. Hospital closures and reduction in rural health services was predicted but you ignored that. Thompson you need to find another line of work because you are not truly serving the people of PA15.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

I have a real ID, a passport, my birth certificate.
Unless you issue every citizen a free National ID, the GOP voter ID push is an unconstitutional poll tax.

Rip to the newspaper that ensured the Pentagon Papers were published after Nixon got an injunction against the Times. 🫡

Had a good run, but as with so many cases, a billionaire bought something he didn’t care about and broke it. A tale as old as time.

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.

Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon.

Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week.

You describe some of my feelings as well! Protesting has many purposes: education, keeping issues before the public, sending a message to the regime, encouraging others who are like-minded, and part of healthy self care. Thank you for your reflections.
