Ridiculous. Shameless. They just lie to their audience night after night and mislead them during every natural disaster and every mass shooting. Fox KNOWS that this is the max allowed just for the initial emergency payments to cover immediate needs like food & fuel.

Did Gaza cost Biden re-election? His ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, seems to thinks so:

"Standing with Israel for these past 15 months, with huge opposition in the media, in parts of his own party, you could argue that it contributed to making his challenge for reelection insurmountable."
The ambassador’s farewell warning: You can’t ignore the impact of this war on future US policymakers
Biden's support for Israel, amid huge opposition in the media and parts of his party, contributed to the collapse of his reelection bid, argues Jack Lew in a long, worried interview

I love with the ACA has done for people with pre-existing conditions. But.

Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system.

For the subsidized silver/94 and /87 plans, around ~15 % of taxpayer $ stays with ins comps!

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
We need to get back to reading and critical thinking
Because 2024 feels different from 2016.

At the latest press conference, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass throws shade at citizen journalists on the internet pushing lies about the wildfires:

🚨 UPDATE: While aboard Air Force One, President Biden was briefed on the federal response he directed to combat the devastating LA wildfires.

As Trump insults Californians, Biden works nonstop to ensure they get the help they need. Biden leads like a president—Trump acts like a petulant child.
