American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I’ve started taking pictures of the chips I buy every week for my kids to compare the sizes and price stamps on them just to validate in my head that yes, they are getting smaller and way more expensive.

Insurance “works” because a pool of healthy people are paying money into the system that they won’t use to compensate for people who will use it and use more than they pay in. If that’s “fraud” your problem is with the model, and I agree because for profit medicine is bullshit.
“40% of Americans don’t receive social security or Medicare. That’s billions of dollars flowing for people who don’t even use the system”
Same thing. Fucking idiot doesn’t understand how it works and they still trusted him to call a vote to save the program.

There are two types of reporters in the world - those who understand sources are doing them a favor speaking to them, and those who think they are doing sources a favor writing about them.

I hear by lobby that if this man is deemed dangerous, all ICE agents from here on out should only be equipped with hoagies and footlongs.
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

If your immediate response is “Whatever - my insurance comes through my employer,” know that when these healthy folk drop out, the rates go up for employer-based care, too.
Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?
$2733.15 a month.

A husband of one of my employees asked if we were going to have security at our distribution later this month and our consensus was “If you need food so badly you have to steal it, you are welcome to it.”

Let’s be real - the shocking news is that Patel had a girlfriend…
Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.
All on the taxpayer’s dime.

There are so many terrible things about SNAP funding being willfully throttled, and just one of them is being an org trying to figure out how to help without being overwhelmed.
