'I don’t sleep well at night.' Washington’s rural hospitals brace for Medicaid cuts, possible closures When changes to the federal Medicaid program take effect in about a year, rural hospitals like Dayton General could face closures, leaving people to drive an hour or more to the next closest options.

White House smearing domestic political opponents as "terrorists."

Two headlines on front page of NYT. First is "Trump Weighs Transforming Refugee Policy. White People Would be Given Preference." Second is "Justices May Ban Race as a Factor in District Maps. Nation's Political Balance Could Shift If Court Guts 1964 Law."

Where we stand, in long arc of history:

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

Some are older than Charlie Kirk, old enough to run for president
