Or really: why we have no healthcare system at all. Instead, we have a inconsistently-regulated cartel-dominated “free” market for buying and selling life and death, agony and succor.

To the extent that anyone in private equity has a parent that they care about, they have more than enough money to make sure that the level of care provided to their parents greatly exceeds that which is provided in the facilities they purchase.

Ask us in Massachusetts about Steward! 🤬

IT'S UP! Here's the article about the rain-soaked disaster that was July 4th in Washington, including all the videos the Internet wouldn't let me upload and some stories that didn't make the thread. Please check it out if you would like to!

Even if Democrats win the House, Senate and White House in 2028, the current 6-3 Supreme Court will inevitably serve as a permanent veto to strike down all progressive legislation, Brian Tyler Cohen writes. That’s why it’s time to reform and expand the Court. https://bit.ly/4oZJz75

News media: STOP. What the actual eff do you think will happen at NATO summit? Lots of important discussions, I’m sure. And we’ll have to hear about the orange buffoon’s by blithering nonsense and demands.

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.

Independence Parade in the rain in Vermont. #freedom #vermont

If you were cool with this, you can shove that "Happy Independence Day" up your ass.

Reminding MAGA that are complaining about blue slip process that Hawley and Schmitt blocked EVERY appointment in MO with that very process. No one complaining then.

The headlines are not accurate. They should say "Supreme Court BARELY upholds birthright citizenship." Scratch that. "Supreme CORPSE Barely Upholds Birthright Citizenship."

About Trump v. Barbara: Do not give the Court and the CJ credit for reading and upholding the Constitution. It's a travesty that this is not a unanimous decision... it's also a travesty that the Court let this question percolate for a year, giving credence to a crank theory of citizenship.

expand the court. no more half measures. this is intolerable.

Remembering poor Alex Kintner and Pipit, eaten by a shark off the coast of Amity OTD in 1974. Never forget.

one word: discovery.

Keep asking him over and over again. His lie will eventually fall apart.

Don’t let up. Embarrass the living shit out of him.

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

Tim Miller and J.V. Last did a great breakdown of the entire book, which is likely to give Vance fits.🤣 youtu.be/30uF-A8yF8U?...

The courts blocked Trump's tariffs. Then they blocked the replacement.⁣ ⁣ Now we're on version three.⁣ ⁣ The lawyers got better. The economics didn't.⁣ ⁣ https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/better-lawyers-worse-economics-inside

I am about to talk democracy with Nicolle Wallace. Tune in NOW!

while his ability to pressure Ukraine is simply gone, now that we have learned to function without U.S. military aid. My guess is that he is just going to keep talking about the wars he ended every time journalists ask about Ukraine.

Obama Appreciation Day June 14, 2026

Trump’s name is gone. Doctrine: Symbols matter because they reveal underlying power struggles. When an institution changes a name…removes a name or restores a name the visible action is rarely the story. The story…is the ongoing contest over identity…legitimacy…and control of the narrative.

Floridians are staring down the highest insurance rates in the country.  Meanwhile, Ashley Moody is putting her own interests ahead of Florida’s, and funding her campaign with money from the big insurance companies hiking up the costs.

For those of you not from the RI area, Gaspee Days is a celebration of the 1772 burning of the HMS Gaspee, a hated British schooner enforcing the Navigation Act (taxation). The parade is as big as the 4th. It starts with a 5k, over 2000 runners. The cheers to take our country back at

How long it takes and how hard it is to undo the damage will depend in large part on the political will of the people elected to do it. If you get hand-wringing caveat peddlers who want to deliberate for years before acting it'll never happen. Plan has to be ready on day one

The merger of Warner Bros and Paramount is not a done deal and remains under investigation by my office.

We choose Earth.

Donald has never said anything of substance -- ever.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

“I’m Kid Rock.” “I’m Naomi Wolf.” “I’m Kanye West.” “I’m Matt Taibbi.” “I’m Catturd. Those stories, plus Rob Schneider, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

I'm Mike Lindell. I'm Herschel Walker. I'm Mel Gibson. I'm Sidney Powell. I'm Riley Gaines. Those stories and more. Tonight. On 60 Minutes.

Foghorn Leghorn

Whole neighborhood just shook like an earthquake. Thought it was everyone jumping for joy in unison because “it happened “ Some are reporting meteor shockwave. Disappointed.

With NASA, disasters like this were rare and rewards were high. Both Jeff Bezos' and Elon Musk's latest launches were flawed. Maybe we should go back to having astrophysicists handle space travel instead of greedy billionaire dilettantes.

BELOW: Trump pantomimes a three-way with Putin and Netanyahu.

One thing that won't get enough attention about John Cornyn's loss to Ken Paxton is that, no matter what happens in November, Texas Republicans just willingly gave up seniority in the Senate, one of the most prized currencies in federal politics. Let me explain what I mean... (thread)

Really good observation.

This Memorial Day, I joined Gold Star families at the RI Veterans Memorial Cemetery to honor our fallen heroes. Today and every day, Americans owe a debt of gratitude to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our nation.

Donald Trump ran for office for three reasons: 1) stay out of jail 2) exact revenge on his enemies 3) line his pockets Everything else he says is bullshit.

People saying that users prefer the bubble of BlueSky to the feral viciousness of Twitter - well...yes. In the same way I prefer a restaurant where the staff are nice and the food is good over one where they stab you with forks while serving bowls of cold piss.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

I think Democrats should come out and say Blanche's "settlement" and the Slush Fund generally is one act in a continuing January 6 conspiracy, extending statutes of limitation for another 3 years.

When you get caught stealing Top Secret documents from the government 💯💯💯💯🎯

The infantile Trump AI video is important for exactly one reason, as Jay Nordlinger notes

A superloser is a leader of a great power, or (onetime) superpower, whose disastrous choices lead to a crash. He possesses a combination of skills that allow for a rise to personal power and the collapse of state power. I spell out the phenomenon in this video: snyder.substack.com/p/the-era-of...
