And while we're talking good framing that can help save Medicaid and thousands of American lives, I, unfortunately, have to hand it to Josh Hawley.
Sick Tax.
That's the only way to describe the co-pay increases the GOP wants to pound the poor with.

Putting aside Mike Johnson's blatant abuse of the 1st Amendment
Yesterday, GOP Congressman Brett Guthrie
Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee
Admitted that Republicans will try to cut $500-600 billion from Medicaid
Which would effectively gut the entire program

whining out loud during a televised interview that the reporter should let you lie bc they owe you for the interview is pretty wild
This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Worth noting that Wikipedia had to meet *existing* scientific knowledge-legitimation standards to be accepted: cite, verify, revise. GenAI simply hasn’t been held to the same standards. Which allows people, including academics who should know better, to pretend that it’s a knowledge-generating tech.
I do genuinely wonder how many people think what happened with Wikipedia is that “society accepted it” rather than that they put a ton of work into making it reliable, something that is not going to make AI reliable because no technology to actually understand meaning has been or can be invented.
Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes
