I’ve stopped saying that the healthcare system is broken. It’s not. It works for exactly who it’s supposed to. Who it’s now built for. And that doesn’t include us.

At the press conference outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Chris Van Hollen goes hard at Elon Musk.
"This has nothing to do with making the U.S. government more efficient and everything to do with aiding and abetting our adversaries."

Trump’s trade war is about to screw us twice.
Higher prices on Canadian goods and anything made with them. Then, less demand for U.S. products in Canada. Now Trudeau is hitting back with $155B in tariffs on American goods. This isn’t “winning”—it’s self-sabotage.
Good job Trump voters.

Only one media outlet is reporting that LA Mayor Karen Bass' mic was turned off during the roundtable with Donald Trump last night.
None of them are reporting that they physically took away her microphone too because she kept trying to fact check him.
Shameful.

DEI is the bogeyman for those who believe that if I’m gaining, they must be losing.
The idea that everything would be fine if only white men ran the world is a weak argument—clung to by insecure men who can’t handle reality.
DEI ensures women & BIPOC are looked at fairly IN ADDITION to white men.

Like the tea party and later MAGA, the Dem party could feasibly be transformed by fracturing from within and taking over with a non-corporate sponsored rhetoric.

I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

Universal healthcare would have saved that CEOs life too.
Reminder—If the U.S. had had a single-payer universal health care system in 2020, nearly 212,000 American lives would have been saved that year. In addition, the country would have saved $105 billion in COVID-19 hospitalization expenses alone.
