ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Nine months into the pro-peace ticket’s reign and we’ve got Hegseth drunkenly ranting War Is Peace and the only way to get true peace is to invade Portland.

So much has gone wrong in US press reporting on Trump because the White House reporters are people who have exclusively covered US politics.

They need people who have worked in Hungary, Turkey, etc. The relevant knowledge isn't Reagan factoids; it's the dynamics of competitive authoritarianism.

The answer from the UN was that team Trump brought their own teleprompter and that that one was not working. Their equipment was fine, the UN said :)

haha, I am sure that is true. If not a higher % than that I do not live there, so what the heck do I know.

Serious scholars have examined what happens when we change the number of H1-B visas issued.

Cities that get more H1-B immigrants subsequently see the wages of natives *rise* substantially.

Skilled immigrants bring new ideas, fill labor shortages and make us all more productive.

It really is a grim ritual that we have so many acts of violence that evolve into another grim ritual of everyone waiting to see what team the maniac played for, and half the time that has already been decided by the grim ritual of everyone speculating before anyone has any clue about it

There’s not a single Republican lawmaker with the basic civic decency to say this is fundamentally wrong. History will condemn each and every one of them.
