The reality of Medicaid looks like: … a 59-year-old woman in North Carolina who closed her small business because her eyesight failed, who sorts recyclables at a concert venue when the season allows, who survives on less than $10,000 a year and (cont.)

It sounds like they rushed the Qatar jet and it doesn’t have all of the defensive countermeasures needed to transit potentially hostile airspace. There’s no realistic way to read this other than a threat-driven aircraft choice.

Platner is out. Good. Still fuck him, though - stop running for public office if you’re a piece of shit. The oppo WILL find out.

A price tag should be a price tag. It should not change because an algorithm knows your income, your location, your search history, or how badly you need groceries. We can stop these corrupt bigshots from turning Texas stores into AI price-gouging machines.
