the whole point of having any sort of insurance system, whether private sector driven or public, is so individual consumers trying to navigate preventative care or chronic conditions or medical emergencies *aren’t* on their own buying every service à la carte out of pocket.

From 2022:

I know this is old man yells at cloud but there is something in the constitution about this

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!! Like I said…words just drop out of his mouth with absolutely no meaning at all.

MAYBE I haven’t thought about it. He just TALKS. Words come out of his mouth and they don’t mean anything.

What a sad/incredibly important piece of journalism. If there is one thing we do as reporters--it's to document terrible moments in history that must be remembered, written down in detail & shared. Thank you Tyler Hicks and your team for this vital work. (Free link) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/w...

President Trump said he no longer supports Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is pushing for the release of the Epstein files.

Trump: Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years. You have got to find out what did he know with respect to Bill Clinton… all those people that knew including JP Morgan Chase.. Reporter: If there is nothing incriminating in the files, why not— Trump: QUIET! QUIET!

This makes 1000% sense to me.

keep thinking about how some estimates have the War On Terror killing 5 million people. Five million All that, plus all the US monetary / political tolls / destabilization at home & abroad — All so the american empire could collapse as the Celebrity Apprentice host tells the Syrian leader he’s Hot

I don't think we should assume it will end the trump presidency at all. again, trump was literally held liable for sexual assault. he boasted on tap about sexually assaulting women. he has been accused by dozens of women of harassment, abuse, and rape. 1

Jeses…these people.

Jeffrey Epstein in 2018: "i know how dirty donald is."

NEW: 2020 footage said to be in 2025. A neighbor who keeps reappearing in the same clip, said to be on different days & months. A broadcast from elsewhere suggested as Portland. How Fox News misled its viewership -- which may have included the president. www.propublica.org/article/port...

Good story - and as we reported, misleading videos about the Portland protests were also created and posted by the Trump administration itself www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

EPSTEIN BREAKING NEWS: importantly, emails written in 2011, before Trump was president, and between close confidants, with no known reason to lie to each other about Trump. It explains why Trump has done everything NOT to release the material. If it were not damning, you would want its release.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The House has been taking a recess for the past two months, while getting paid. Air traffic controllers typically work 6 day weeks with mandated overtime. AND THEY ARE NOT GETTING PAID.

This is why you don’t hire [checks notes] ex Real World cast member to head government agencies

So exciting that the Trumpists are developing some concepts for healthcare. Maybe another decade and they'll be ready to share with the American people...at least those who are left.

OK I don't mean to be hyperbolic but this might affect conservatively 65% of my diet

Isn’t there already an ATC shortage? Is this supposed to…help that?

Trump: "We fired thousands of people who didn't take care of our great veterans. They were sadists, they were sick people, they were thieves, they were everything you want to name. When Biden came in he hired them back."

Putin is going to give his friend in the White House a long lecture about the Great Patriotic War.

Trump: "I was recently at an event and I saw that France was celebrating Victory Day, but we didn't. And I saw France was celebrating another Victory Day for World War 2. And other countries were celebrating. They were all celebrating. We're the one that won the wars."

Trump administration declares CFPB funding illegal

Trump: "If we die, we must die and we as men we die without complaining."

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

Inspiring sir thank u

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

The nation’s semiquincentennial is upon us. In a year marked by political violence and fear, the prospects for a peaceful anniversary appear remote. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/a2fJKz

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands. Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame. Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump. Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars": ".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...

More capitulation with this guy, please. It is definitely working.

Plaques commemorating Black WWII soldiers fighting against Nazi Germany have been removed from a U.S. military cemetery in the Netherlands —Newsweek

Governor Gavin Newsom on Twitter a few moments ago Regarding Democrat Senators who caved Agree with you Governor 💯

Not only will Trump/GOP declare victory but they will make a perhaps convincing case that the extended shutdown, and all associated pain, was just so Democrats could pacify their base and win last week’s elections.

Prescient

GÜIRIA, Venezuela (AP) — One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

Since Trump named himself chairman of the Kennedy Center in February, audiences have stayed away. The NYT reports ticket sales are down about 50% from last year.

WATCH: Long lines outside a Cleveland food bank after the Trump administration cut off SNAP funding during the shutdown.

I don't know. I am amazed at how invested people are in proclaiming American democracy dead (or, never alive, or merely a facade). I think it's privilege, and decadence, among people who crave drama, and feel they missed out on the great struggles. ("Selma envy", as one of my friends calls it.) /1

A judge delivered a damning condemnation of the use of force in the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement campaign in Chicago, saying federal agents’ actions against protesters “shocks the conscience.”
