The thought of a major medical emergency is raising my blood pressure.
I am honestly having some trouble following “the health care industry is a huge powerful malevolent machine ripping off America and we want you to negotiate directly with it for your insulin.”
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

This is a winning platform. And it's morally correct.
I'd like to see the next Dem candidate for president (and the entire party) run on a platform of immediately recognizing the ICC and supporting its prosecutions of all who violate international law including heads of state promoting murder, piracy, etc. Hold them accountable.

Greed is the disease too few recognize.
You know, I'm 70 years old, and I've been thru hell, climbed close to heaven, and touched back down here on Earth, which had everything necessary for humans to thrive. Greed has destroyed much. Maybe it's too late to save it. But we need to try.

i think a (perhaps underappreciated) aspect of this whole situation is the extent to which every elite profession is filled with people who excel at drawing attention and want to be famous more than they want to do the actual job

The genocide is not over, people. These are wounded, sick, and hungry people, many of them women and children, facing drenching rainfall and freezing temperatures and wind. This more genocide, face it. Ethnic cleansing continues in the West Bank #genocide #Gaza #Palestine #humanity #vampires
"The claim by U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz that “600 trucks per day” are entering Gaza is contradicted by documented data showing that only 14,534 trucks have crossed in 62 days ,an average of 234 trucks, just 39% of what the ceasefire agreement requires" #TranslatingFalasteen #Gaza

No Sympathy. No Care — the GOP slogan that MTG may be turning away from. I hope she apologizes to NJ some day.
After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

What could a representative Congress look like? If Democrats could create a vision, it would be a nice contrast to a Unitary Executive Theory (UET) vision. It would have to include campaign finance reform.
