Medicare Advantage (or DisAdvantage, as I call it) isn’t Medicare — it’s private insurance run by giant corporations that only care about profits.
I wrote to the Trump admin and told them if they’re looking for waste, fraud, and abuse, they should start with Medicare DisAdvantage.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Elon Musk's PACs have spent millions backing Trump loyalist Brad Schimel in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race.
If Schimel wins, the court could uphold a total abortion ban, attacks on unions, and gerrymandered maps — and change state law to benefit Tesla.
Watch.

Reminding folks that if we are pinning all our hopes on the courts to save us, we are foolishly misplacing our trust. We must save ourselves. We The People must uphold the Constitution and protect our rights, because every branch of govt has ultimately failed to do so over the last 8 years.
D.C. Circuit panel allows Trump to remove Dellinger as head of the Office of Special Counsel—a devastating decision for the thousands of federal workers, fighting unlawful firings, who were relying on Dellinger to help them get their jobs back.
Very surprising that the liberal judge didn’t dissent.
