5 years ago today I quit my job with #PPB because I had had it with the fascist nonsense and blatant support of the jackass in the White House.
I am having a much better day than he is today.
Not usually one for schadenfreude but today feels like I can indulge, as a treat.

my out of pocket cost: $473
what my insurance paid: $4258

I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

I know the push is always to get people more engaged with what is going on in the government, but you as a constituent should NOT have to spend your sunday panic calling your senator to beg them not to collaborate with fascists.
None of us should have to do that.

We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced...

UPDATE: Senate votes to advance a tentative deal to end the government shutdown, clearing a key hurdle.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

Part of the problem is the way We have treated scientific discovery as if it is made by brilliant men.
All science is built on the science that came before. It is collaborative in multiple ways.
All attempts to credit a single scientist with THE crucial discovery are flawed.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

After getting into the details, this seems less like "a deal" and more like abject surrender.
Getting nothing but a Republican promise just days after doling out a massive electoral ass kicking is a total political and moral failure.

When people lose their healthcare they will begin to overwhelm ERs throughout the country. American healthcare facilities are nowhere close to being prepared to staffing these ERs as primary care sources. The damage done by GOP cruelty and incompetence will be generational.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Mamdani will restore the tradition of reading one-third of the law each year at the convening of the City Thing. 39 new goðorð are also set to be created, using a method that allows for sale or trade similar to taxi medallions.
Mamdani will implement sumptuary law. Ladies will have to carefully measure how many ounces of gold are in their girdles, and wearing pearls on hats will be banned except for wives or courtesans of foreign mercenaries.
