This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.
In April of 2009 I observed the Tea Party rally in Salem. As this front page story says, there were a couple hundred people there. This past weekend in Salem there were roughly 2-3000 people at the Hands Off rally. Yet the Tea Party coverage seemed to take that event far more seriously.

The paper edition doesn’t bother me so much for all these reasons. But the NYT started its coverage way later than all other news orgs, including daily papers, ran it smaller and much further down. And the pieces seemed half-asses and even precutting their thin coverage.
Tempted to do a thread about front page design, why newspapers dislike protest stories and really dislike tearing up Sunday A1s (the most micromanaged page at any paper) to make them fit. All of which most people yelling about front pages know, but ignore for RTs.
However, the weather is nice.

Collect a claim from one side, collect a claim from the other, present them both to the reader with an awkward shrug and a "who can say?"
And the photo choice -- Noem's looking down ... on what? The reverse angle showed a small crowd and a quiet street. But can't show that, it's biased to one side!

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

It’s decision time.
If we are going to fund the government, it should only be a government that respects our democracy, that isn’t corrupt, that doesn’t treat people and places that oppose President Trump as enemies, deserving of indictment or military deployment.

Maybe guns should be harder to get, and mental health treatment should be easier to get, in today's America.
Kind of the opposite of what the Trump administration and the Republican Party want.

We must get answers on why a bribery probe with a $50,000 bag of cash and promises of future contracts was shut down by the FBI. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
