“1 out of every 5 dollars in Medicaid is improper”

1 out of every 5 Americans uses Medicaid and it still costs the federal government half of what our defense budget does. The actual data shows <2% of Medicaid spending is considered improper, and the majority of that is not on the beneficiary side.

These are deeply, profoundly, tragically abnormal times riven by cruel, hateful, reckless and ignorant people bent on dismantling our government, strengthening Putin, stoking fear, breaking our spirit, enriching themselves and ruling over the ashes of public liberty. We won’t let them succeed.

Not cool

How the heck does he come up with all his cruel ideas?

Why is this not the least bit surprising?

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'” That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

Good news

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

While discussing the VA layoffs on CNN Scott Jennings said to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social "I'm sure there will be some sob stories" then laughed about it.
As someone who had family rely on the VA for care, I'm disgusted by this.
There is no depth that he and CNN won't sink to.

Pretty darn blatant

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

It’s done.

Tell us more

Murphy calls out the "Mar-a-Lago cabal" and says of the Republican spending plan, "you are taking about the most massive transfer of wealth and resources from poor people and the middle class to billionaires and corporations in the history of this country."

He’s so full of shot

america's law-following lou on X: "the national parks system makes up about 0.004% of the federal budget and is (by far) the best thing american government has ever achieved. the decision to destroy the crown jewels of our country to save what amounts to effectively no money is fucking insane"

The destruction is the point.

But what would we ask our Drs about?

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.

Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

They won’t ever learn will they

Just looking at the events of *this one day* compels the conclusion that the United States Government is being run by morons, psychos, invertebrates, and crooks.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone
