@charlesgaba.com I suggest a change in regulations regarding health insurance:
Insurers will be forbidden to sell policies to MAGA adherents, MAGA leaders and any who have put forward legislation regarding limiting health care to any subset of the population. Let them eat cake.
📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!
When your policy is to undermine public health, then you attack the people who help promote and protect it. Not just now…but years into the future.

Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.

So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners.

The writer who features prominently in newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails has achieved extraordinary access but faced questions about his journalistic ethics

For there to be justice – in this case, the faint hope of impeaching and removing a president credibly implicated in child-sex trafficking – *elites must betray elites*. Powerful men (and they are men, let’s be real here) must find in themselves an incentive to be traitors to their class.

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

It's like everyone woke up this morning and figured out that even though the shutdown is over and the planes are flying, the president is still incompetent, crazy, and vengeful.

When you keep belittling women--removing them from the workplace, taking away their reproductive rights, praising only the super sexualized--you reduce the importance of protecting women/girls from harm or even caring about their exploitation because you've turned them into playthings or servants.
