Once a TV huckster, always a TV huckster. These aren't "audiences." They're people.
The reason these folks didn't go on the exchanges in the first place is because they don't make enough money. Oh, and they're cutting the ACA subsidies too so even more people will lose insurance.

Mehmet Oz on people who don't satisfy work requirements for Medicaid: "We're gonna ask you to go on and do something else, like go on the exchanges, or get a job and get commercial insurance, but we're not gonna continue to pay for Medicaid for those audiences."

#45 called Pete Buttigieg “Alfred E. Newman.”
Mr. Buttigieg’s response:
“I guess the fact that I inspired him to make a literary reference, possibly for the first time…..” is genius.
Buttigieg is quickly becoming one of my heroes.

Military to remove 'Enola Gay' photos for violating DEI rules
A photo of Army biologists was on a list of images to be purged, seemingly because it mentioned they were recording data about fish that included their gender.

Really enjoyed the new documentary Beatles '64 on Disney. Martin Scorsese hs created a film that places the Beatles's first trip to the U.S. in historical and cultural context. This film communicates why the Beatles and that trip became so important.
