That seems a little low, given what we’ve been led to believe have been trillion dollar tariffs making America a rich as a country has ever been. It’s almost like the FBI doesn’t care.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 "for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction" of a suspect in Saturday’s Brown University mass shooting FBI Director Kash Patel said today.

Trump put a known vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of our public health.

Undecided voter: How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters?
James Talarico: They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter. Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design.

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Phoebe Memorial, the sole hospital in Albany, GA, was founded on the idea that all patients be treated, regardless of their ability to pay.
So why do some residents — including many hospital staffers — turn to a free clinic for care?

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

much like fretting over AI’s potential godlike powers is a tacit endorsement of its marketing, AI companies want nothing more than for you to ponder the broad sociological impact of their technology rather than looking at it and saying “this shit sucks and doesn’t work at all and is fake”

When you put it that way it almost sounds refined to dodge anti money laundering rules so you can bribe politicians / traffic children / fund terrorism or whatever else those anonymized and encrypted $500 million might do.
