A rare moment when for profit healthcare makes the correct decision.
Because the vaccine prevents chronic hepatitis B for which there is no cure and the lifelong treatment costs more than a single birth dose of the vaccine. Insurance companies recognize this is a no brainer.

As a US senator, my heart breaks for the families of the Venezuelans that Pete Hegseth ordered executed without trial. If they could see my state’s Republican primary polling data, I think they would understand why I had to vote to confirm him.

This is why I can’t stand all the pie-in-the-sky fantasies about what a progressive president will do with unitary executive power.
The next Democratic president won’t be able to take a dump without the Supreme Court upholding a ruling by a Texas judge that presidents are no longer allowed to shit.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.
