Loss of subsidy plus massive premium increase (which begets another massive increase next year too and so on). Who benefits? Not individuals. Not businesses trying to insure their employees. Not doctors who no longer have patients with coverage. Insurance company execs and stockholders benefit.

Insanity. Not that it is a real surprise from the current crop of idiocy-worshiping nincompoops, but still. Maybe we can sell it to Europe then buy the data back from them for twice the price. 🤦‍♂️ www.npr.org/2025/08/04/n...

Pretty much this all day long.

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

Fucking goon squad. Lest you prevaricate, yes, this is who we are now. The goddamn brownshirts. I can’t imaging the horror, the lasting scars of this. And there are just far too many people put their pumping their fists and saying “yeah!” It is CRIMINAL.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

HOW TRUMP THINKS TARIFFS WORK: We tell other countries to give us a lot of money and they give us a lot of money. HOW TARIFFS ACTUALLY WORK: Not like that.

What’re we going to do with all the artifacts of democracy we’re no longer going to be needing any more? www.thedailybeast.com/the-supreme-...

It is a reciprocal tariff for Canadian Surplus? tl;dr: there's a flat 7.5% tariff on dairy imported into Canada that increases to around 250% if you import it without purpose. Sounds like Trump heard this and is now being idiotic about it. 2018 link: www.farmprogress.com/management/d...
