On a night in which they did so many things wrong, the Nationals also enjoyed their best offensive performance in four years and got enough quality work from the back of their bullpen for a 15-9 win over the Angels. www.masnsports.com/blog/entry/n...
Nats overcome sloppy mistakes with season-best 15 runs (updated)

And then this shit just came out.
When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

@wamu.org everything all right over there? A few minutes ago an announcement said it was 10 o’clock (it was 9:34). And All Things Considered has been broadcasting with some extra transition music for the past 30 minutes or so.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.
AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.
I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person
I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

1. I’m frightened and angry about this.
2. I don’t know enough about it and would like to clear up something that confuses me. Isn’t this something that pharma could and likely might do on their own? I know that’s not the ideal situation. But I assume they want to make and sell flu shots.

Feel like journalists need to be more wary of what sources in DC are telling them anonymously. There is great incentive to discredit media at the moment. Easy for sources to give something on background with the aim of having gov then refute publicly after publishing in order to discredit media.
