Private equity is buying America's hospitals and nursing homes. The playbook: pile on debt, sell the building, cut staff. The result, one landmark study found: patient deaths up about 11%. #news #information #privateequity

Every single lawmaker that’s calling for their constituents to “be responsible with electricity usage” during the extreme heat had better be supporting heavy restrictions on data centers.

Hello darkness my old friend

🇺🇸 For a tournament that started with so much promise, the United States journey at the World Cup ends exactly where it did in 2022, 2014 and 2010: The round of 16. This loss, unlike the others, was an ass-whooping. At a home World Cup... this is a disappointment.

There's a difference being outplayed and losing a match you deserves to lose and shitting your pants, lighting yourself on fire as the stadium watches in horror and I'm glad we are all learning the difference together.

Can’t believe 2014 was the better usa/belgium game

Great call by the haters: World Cup edition

i don’t have any analysis besides, in all seriousness, everything he touches dies lol

Everything Trump touches dies

Is this like when Trump showed up at msg and the Knicks lost their only game for months?

I am extremely pro the Spain fan who was just on camera playing an inflatable Iberian Jamon like an air guitar

Man using the bully pulpit to unsettle our club captain. Get a load of Mayor Fabrizio Romano over here.

Not hypocrisy, a consistent principle of cruel selfishness. Masking in the pandemic: a minor inconvenience to oneself to protect others and help the community Masking in neo-Nazi demonstration: protecting oneself while imposing inconvenience (and worse) on others and disrupting the community

One of the reasons why the ongoing meltdown about Zohran asking people to set their A/C to 78 bothers me is that it seems to be a symptom of post-COVID unwillingness for individuals to do anything for the common good, and if we don’t have that we’re in a very bad place as a society.

USMNT fans right now. (me included) LFG

This is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Fox News asked him to wave and he then waved. At the TV, not at them

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

would love to see a hostile audit of Freedom 250. hell, would love to see hostile audits of everything even tangentially related to trump. this will produce endless material. you could conceivably bring the administration to an effective halt!

"The Park Service, in a separate document, similarly said that people should ‘wear an n95 mask when outdoors’ and ‘remain indoors as much as possible during and after the show.’” The guidance is to remain indoors ... during the fireworks. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Jesus this is depressing.

“.. Members of the group Patriot Front ride the metro on the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence in Washington, D.C.” @reuters.com

it's pretty funny that the World Cup has sensors that detect the ball's rotation, acceleration, and location every .002 seconds (not exaggerating, the actual tech specs of the sensor) but also the game gets to the end and the ref says "ok I think 9 more minutes ... maybe more if I feel like it"

I also imagine in practice it'll be almost impossible to collect and doing so will cost the govt more than it ever raises. Just performative cruelty of the worst sort.

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

Hey, look at that, what had been subtext is once again just text. This is a Redeemer administration.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

Wait so these jokers can get excommunicated but the terrible rightwing crank of an archbishop of my old archdiocese wouldnt excommunicate me for schism (AND apostasy AND heresy) when i petitioned for it? So unfair. www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-c...

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge. This may be why the nun in Texas got briefly picked up. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

It’s 4am on 2 July. For the first of two times in a 48 hour period I will be wildly patriotic. USMNT + NATHANS HOT DOG CONTEST USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

i have been thinking about this a lot. my "left-wing" ideas about government reform mostly amount to trying to make the federal government conform with the vision in the constitution: a strong, active and majoritarian congress

Pennsylvania's GOP-controlled Senate just blocked a vote to raise the minimum wage to $15... on the 20th anniversary of the state's last wage hike, which means their minimum wage will stay at $7.25 for the time being.

the use of “performative” as an insult here is why these people are losing their primaries. yes, voters want you to perform their anger and disgust! they want representatives to represent their symbolic interests! the idea that good representation is necessarily quiet and unobtrusive is wrong!

👇🎯 Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers. Flagrant violations of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause are not something that “defies long-held tradition.” They are flagrant violations of the Constitution. What is journalism, anyway?

It would in fact be unbelievable to see people at the 'fair'

happy 250th to this shithole

fixing the court is table stakes for any Dem running for national office, you are not a serious candidate if you can’t get on board with this and refusing to do so is disqualifying in a primary because it doesn’t matter what your policy positions are if SCOTUS will just overrule them

in the full clip he says these policies is the “far left saying the quiet part loud” and it’s just overwhelmingly popular positions lol

Socialism for the wealthy, feudalism for everyone else.

Josh is one of the very few people who I think grasps the actual extent of the problem we're facing and the approach we need to address it.

Too many of us forget how much Jesus hated foreigners and the meek and the persecuted.

As I wrote last week: the curricula overhaul is a massive win for Christian nationalists, who by now aren’t even pretending that this is about education or “religious freedom” or really anything other than asserting their dominance.

If you or someone in your house is not trans, the only thing you should ever think about trans kids is “How might I brighten their day should I come across one?” Beyond that, you’re a fucking weirdo who is extremely useful to nazis.

The story here isn't that the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship. It's that a minority of the court believes that the 14th Amendment, as it's been understood since its inception, is wrong. They want to turn back the clock — not just to before the Civil Rights era, but before Reconstruction.

5-4 instead of 9-0. Just a completely illegitimate institution at this point.

NY Fed report today: American workers' share of income economic pie has fallen to its lowest level since at least 1947.

The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.
