The new Republican plan same as the old Republican plan: Fucking die already.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

It was a major mistake that the Senate didn’t hold high-profile hearings and investigations into the corrupt Roberts Court when ProPublica was breaking the scandals.
Now that same corrupt Court is blowing up NIH, NSF, and all of US basic science.

look at what this leadership did with oversight powers of SCOTUS in the middle of multiple devastating scandals for the conservatives. look at the half assed impeachments and half-assed oversight during the teens.

I think Joyce Carol Oates has managed to be impossible to milkshake duck.
Not because she hasn't said problematic things - she has.
But she has said them in service to no higher goals. She's not trying to take over the government, or start a cult or a movement

Honest question? When are we going to start treating what he says as just the "info" he was most recently fed?
President Trump criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during a Fox News interview tonight, saying people "get it automatically now so the number is many times what it should be, it's disgraceful."
Trump says "we can reform" SNAP
"SNAP is supposed to be if you are down and out," Trump said on Fox News this evening.

In college I was in Model UN but like bad at it (you should do things you enjoy but are bad at). And one conference I was like Libya or something and rather than engage in actual geopolitics I decided to embody the "vibe" of Libya and the chair kept calling on me just cause I was funny.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

The climate crisis is one of the top most severe threats to human existence, alongside nuclear war and a massive asteroid.
It blows my mind how many leaders choose to just whistle past the grave. This isn’t some event on some obscure future date—it’s already happening.
