These replies are just wild. Fraud is bad. It's a failure. The amount of what-about-ism is crazy. If you believe in having a social safety net then you care more, not less, that it be run fairly and competently.

ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.

If Congress doesn’t act quickly to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will more than DOUBLE for 22 million people.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death.

BREAKING: Metadata reveals 2 mins 53 secs were cut from Epstein cell surveillance — not the “1 minute” gap Pam Bondi claimed. DOJ & FBI said it was “raw,” but it was edited in Premiere Pro.

The cover-up isn’t a theory — it’s in the metadata. www.wired.com/story/metada... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

David Gergen, a White House adviser to four U.S. presidents and former Friday night political commentator on the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, has died at the age of 83.

God has issued a press release that he had nothing to do with the dissolving marriage of Ken Paxton and his wife and resents being featured so prominently in their divorce announcement press statements.

The Liberal Misinformation Bubble About Youth Gender Medicine How the left ended up disbelieving the science

The Supreme Court's questioning on youth gender medicine has provided "uncomfortable insight into how advocacy groups and medical associations have tamped down their own concerns about its evidence base," @helenlewis.bsky.social writes:

Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush delivered rare open criticism of the Trump administration — and singer Bono held back tears as he recited a poem — in an emotional video farewell with staffers of the US Agency for International Development.

It’s outrageous that a masked ICE thug can punch a man in the face and escape consequences anonymously. That’s not America.

America is for the thug cop to be identified and THEN escape all significant consequences for lawless brutality after a brief period of paid leave

@americanair.bsky.social Its amazing. When they cancel your flight and you have an economy ticket your getting home up to 24h later than a first class passenger. "We don't have to do that for you because you have an economy fare" Wow. You suck.

Because cruel and stupid people exist. And some public figures are generally encouraging of cruel behavior.

Text reading: I had to come down to Los Angeles for Work and ended up trying to help with the raid last night. As a Bernie usefully. Waited by the entrance for detainees We were repeatedly denied access of any kind, and eventually LAPD force removed attorneys ice. Also tear gassed a baby under age two. Today they told us to come back at eight to see the clients, but they ever refused entry to us as well as politicians, including Jimmy, Gomez, and right now. They’re releasing some kind of gas, so the Attorneys can’t breathe

Text reading: Post it so everyone knows. When we were trying to chant their rights ice honked so no one could hear.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.

This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

"This is what we were voting for!"

From a friend in academia:

>>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<<

Great work.
