One reason so many American hospitals are struggling? Investors buy them up, then suck them dry, charging such high rents that services are gutted.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.
There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

I want to be very clear about what’s happening: Senate Republicans know the parliamentarian will say they can’t use 312 to pretend tax cuts are free (because two have two Byrd rule problems).
So they are refusing to meet with her so they can pretend they never ignored her when they do it anyway.
