The US spends over a sixth of our GDP on healthcare, far more than other similar countries.
America wasn’t always such an outlier, though – back in 1970, we had more similar spending levels.

That a Reagan judge would give up his lifetime appointment willingly because he feels a future GOP president has rendered that appointment meaningless in the midst of an authoritarian speedrun is quite remarkable:

Mistakenly assuming that an inevitable “return to norm” is on the horizon is a big reason why we’re here.

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

In Durango, Colorado, ICE GOONS violently assaulted an elderly woman during a peaceful protest. They stole her phone, grabbed her by the hair, and threw her down a hill.

At Menards hardware store in Cicero, IL
It's a major hardware chain throughout the Midwest.
Look at Trump's masked thugs shattering the truck windows and dragging a man off to an unmarked car.
Menards told employees to delete any videos they took of the ICE raid—or they would be fired.

If six people nonviolently protesting outside an ICE facility is a criminal conspiracy, all First Amendment-protected activity is at risk.
Feds Say Kat Abughazaleh “Impeded” ICE Agents. That Would Put Her on the Right Side of History.
Kat Abughazaleh allegedly protested in Broadview, Illinois, where ICE was “forced to drive at an extremely slow rate of speed,” feds said.
