And the GOP says that a national health plan “would require people to change doctors.” That phenomenon has been the norm of employee-provided health care for decades as (a) people change jobs, (b) employers change plans, and (c) doctors change networks.

Content is what is inside a container, like Niblets or Cheerios, or maybe furniture inside a house. When it gets consumed, the residue is waste, like ash or poop. Those terms are “inventory” framing, inappropriate for creative expression. Expression and information get experienced, shared, learned.

Are Democrats working on a Project 2026 and Project 2028? They had better be doing those. Failure would be dereliction of duty.

I offer this teaching video to Ron De Santis and his Florida teachers for their “classical” curriculum gender lessons. Watch to the end. This is a second century CE Roman copy of a second century BCE Greek original.

I have never heard of anyone getting offended because someone shared MLK’s or Lincoln’s or FDR’s words online. Weird to be offended when your hero is simply being quoted.

I've followed the F-35 story for almost two decades.
This is a humiliating setback that would have been impossible to imagine—back before an ignorant prez and a vengeful MAGA began humiliating what had been the closest and most reliable (previous) US allies.

This video is 100% worth watching.
Could be straight out of Red Guards at nadir of China's nihilist Cultural Revolution.
"What you are saying is illegal, because it goes against the views of Our President."
Remember when today's MAGA fans professed to bleed and die for cause of "free speech"?

It’s almost cartoonish how villainy Mamdani’s opposition turns out to be—and how much they seem set on helping him win.

If only his two former bosses had not been totally invisible in fall 2024, when loudly & publicly telling people that reluctantly voting for the Democrat was the only democratic option left for lifelong, pro-democracy Republican voters might have made a difference.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.
Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.
It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion

I think instead of “words and phrases” you really meant “topics.” Be honest. Maybe Democrats should be debating the best fishing lures or shotguns instead?

A major obstacle for folks attempting to defend democracy is that a perfectly accurate description of what Trump is attempting sounds like hysterical conspiracy theorizing to a lot of people. We default to “c’mon, that can’t happen here”—which is exactly why it can.

As a DC resident I'm firmly in favor of a jury strike during this occupation. If you're on grand jury duty, refuse to indict. If you're on trial jury, refuse to convict.
