Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

The direct and indirect (time doctors and nurses spend on paperwork) administrative costs of US healthcare are 25-30%.
The administrative costs of Japan's healthcare is 1-2%.

The President of South Africa deftly reminds us that he has a lot of experience in dealing with White Supremacists and autocrats.

It's genuinely unforgivable that Biden's team hid the extent of his condition from political allies. Truly, they deserve whatever they get.
But, it's so incredibly meaningless to re-litigate that situation when we have a fascist with his brain leaking out of his ear as president.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
