Ta-Nehisi Coates is always and forever on point.
The constant negotiating and caving and “deal making” and old ways of “bi-partisanship” have gotten Democrats nowhere.
We’ve lost it all.
I don’t want to see Bill Clinton or even Obama campaigning anymore.
They can sit the fuck down.

United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.
How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage
Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
Happy Labor Day.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
