Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

Last year a private equity firm bought up 29 nursing homes in Iowa for $85 million.
The firm has been fined 17x more than one facility's previous owner — including for one instance where a resident choked to death.
Private equity has no place in our health care system.

Updated December-Early January Forecast:
Given recent data, the expected peak has decreased even further, and the range has shrunk.
This is now guaranteed to be a record low for Holiday infection rates, hospitalization, and deaths.

This is wild. Dems would have taken control of Congress 218-217 had we won 2022 North Carolina Supreme Court races. But instead, GOP won the NC Supreme Court and gerrymandered 3 Dem seats into completely non-existence. Instead R’s now control the house 220-215.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
