This dude should be fired, he simply does not understand the assignment, which is to make a movie about a character who first appeared on screen 60 years ago and has been played by 6 different actors
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

i think a lot of us if plucked off the street and sworn in as a senator would do a modestly better job than a lot of our incumbents
all of these people live in a comfortable room-temperature fog of steakhouse dinners, galas held in their honor, and important decisions prechewed for them and fed to them by adoring but interchangable young people selected to be as inoffensive to them as possible by their chiefs of staff.

one of the weirdest things that people believe on a website where the collective mood changes every thirty-six hours is that events completely unknown to 60% of the population, where 90% have the facts wrong, will have persistent effects eighteen months later

We could make this real fucking simple. Call it Medicare for All. Single-payer. Whatever. Insurance cos as government contractors or eliminate the sector entirely and pay direct to providers. I don’t give a shit. But access to healthcare is a basic human right and we should start acting like it.

Dismantling ACA isn’t about punishing insurance cos. The subsidies Dems were haggling for are tax credits. That’s our money. Not theirs. They’re talking about health savings as pre-tax dollars like your 401k. This is deregulation. Letting insurance cos resume denying coverage and selling junk plans.

They’re not concerned with affordability. The whole reason the ACA exists is to get insurance to people who were otherwise denied coverage for preexisting conditions or shunted into terrible, high-cost plans with poor coverage. It was to ensure access to preventive care to reduce catastrophic need.

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…

ICE/CBP is functionally a right wing militia employed by the federal government and there are assholes out here suggesting we shouldn't talk about how much they suck?!?
there’s this really dumb idea among the brain dead liberal punditocracy that you shouldn’t even mention ICE but nah this guy ran aggressively against them in a purple center/center-right county and won.
NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

And a third possibility is that they actually mean some sort of new individual health reimbursement account (HRA), not HSAs.
My point is, if Republicans don't actually know what acronym they're planning to use, maybe news outlets shouldn't be credulous about Republicans having a "plan."

This is neither here nor there, but the distinction between a FSA and a HSA is actually pretty monumental — FSAs are use-it-or-lose-it, HSAs are not — and I don't think we actually know which one Trump(/Rick Scott/Bill Cassidy) is talking about in his new concepts of a plan

This is the most common response when I urge people to get involved and while it’s entirely true it won’t immediately change things in federal seats, change trickles up and if we don’t start NOW we can only blame ourselves when this shit continues in perpetuity

I think one of the most frustrating parts of this authoritarian blitz is that so many of these people are idiots and buffoonish liars
I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

This is insane. This is *literally* doing the same mechanics of the housing crisis and 2008 recession but to create debt to finance construction of AI data centers
