Kelly: "I had another situation here with a kid who was on his little league trip in a baseball tournament. Border Patrol pulls over the vehicle, identifies the brown kid, he winds up in lockup for a week...this isn't what the American people wanted and I don't think it's consistent with our values"

In 2009, Peter Thiel wrote that the 1920s were "the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics."
Why? Because of "the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women."

Kudos to Congressmember Maxwell Frost. Truth. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social
Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money.
This is murder.
