The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.
The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

The police/FBI have been very tight-lipped to protect the investigation. I don't care who says so, putting this out on social media ahead of the police announcement is bad practice. (And the WaPo and NBC should know better as well.)

We are not at war with one another. We can’t lose sight of that. Sometimes, silence is betrayal. See something, say something.

Because it’s not getting reported on enough:
Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun.
He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

Remarkable kindness and empathy from the Jewish community of Bondi and abroad in light of this horrific anti-semitic shooting. Instead of pouring fuel on the fire and joining hatemongers to condemn all Muslims, they are openly and loudly rejecting it.
We stand in solidarity against hate and terror.

Operation Metro Surge is state-sanctioned racial profiling used as a tool of political intimidation.
But Somali Minnesotans aren’t intimidated, we’re brave and resilient, and our neighbors have our back.

Rumors are that Hegseth and Patel could be out near the first of the year.
It sounds like the problem could be finding someone who is willing to debase themselves to take the spots.

Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history.
Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.
