Sticker Shock: Obamacare Customers Confront Premium Spikes as Congress Dithers #cobbcounty

Just pure cruelty. Healthcare bills are going to skyrocket, the GOP's base can't afford it, and expect more resignations. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

ICE are thug scum.

Canada's newest refugee , at least she'll be welcomed here we will return her when and if America gets back to normal !!! 🙊🙉🙈

Florida and Utah seem to be in a competition for the most bizarre crimes. We get our share of crime here in metro Atlanta, but those two states seem to audition for true crime documentaries.

The DOJ has really ramped up it's "Make America White-dominated Again" campaign:

Until the Tea Party rallies, I gave the news side of Fox News the benefit of the doubt. The opinion/talking head side of Fox astroturfed the Tea Party into existence, then the news side amplified it far beyond what it would have been otherwise.

The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

I've spent my whole adult life hoping that the South would grow out of this goofy, casual Lil Abner-character sort of local corruption. I'm still hoping, but doubt I'll live to see it.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

It's depressing to look in my press release folder, and see the DOJ's gradual creep toward explicitly white supremacist policies:

I don't have any particular beef with the LDS (although the church's obsession with masturbation, pornography and demonic possession creates the conditions for folks like Jodi Hildebrandt and Lori Daybell to thrive).

I can’t help but notice that a bunch of people think “actual thinking” means “insipid contrarianism that substitutes banal edgelordery for any meaning or principle.”

War as a moral metaphor is limited, limiting, and dangerous. By reducing the choices of action to “a war against” whatever-it-is, you divide the world into Me or Us (good) and Them or It (bad) and reduce the ethical complexity and moral richness of our life to Yes/No, On/Off.

There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.

I’d rather get bad news from an honest man than lies from a flatterer.

If you're looking for a starting point for tracking private equity (and anyone covering health care, long-term care, or campaign finance should be doing that), here's a succinct starting point #wallstreet #PrivateEquity

whether hegseth gets away with it remains to be seen but it is interesting to see that he thought trump handed him a license to murder with this job, no questions asked, and now questions are definitely being asked.

Temu Vecna never saw a killing of brown people he couldn’t endorse

I just noticed that WSJ (Murdoch) seems to have bought Investor's Business Daily at some point. I just noticed it on my WSJ tab. I always thought of IBD as the World Net Daily of investment sites, lots of "technical" mumbo-jumbo interspersed with shrill right-wing rants.

Please add "puppy killers" to your proposed travel ban. WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.

Weird that the person who shot their puppy point blank in the head and tossed their body into a gravel pit because they couldn’t figure out how to properly train them also can’t be bothered to figure out how hurricanes work.

I'm mostly trying to stay out of US politics rn but the whole Sec of War doing the example of an illegal order to bomb drug dealers and start a war for oil whilst the Prez pardons a drug dealer is a pretty impressive shitstorm

TODAY IS THE DAY! GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

As New Orleans braces for the arrival of ICE, there is a particular stain that comes with hunting Mexicans and Central Americans in that city. These are the same folks who arrived en masse to help rebuild the city after Katrina and have since become a vibrant part of its renewal. Fuck ICE to hell.

The Pentagon reporters who have been kicked out of the building continue to break huge stories every day while the right-wing New Media continue to post selfies of themselves hanging out in the Pentagon.

Admiral Holsey is to this serial murder in the Caribbean as Hugh Thompson was to the butchery at My Lai -- that is to say a great American and a lone, solitary credit to its armed forces in a moment when a great and unremovable stain was put upon the honor of the entire American military.

One of the four elements of malignant narcissism is sadism.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence. All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

The press releases from the DOJ are getting increasingly unprofessional. The one that triggered this is about the arrest of an Afghan man, who, according to the Bondi quote in the release, "came into America during the Biden administration."

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.
