Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.
Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

Nancy was a fabulous organist, a tremendous wit, and a wonderful friend to me. Her beloved husband of 60 years, Bill, was also so kind and her biggest fan. She lived a hell of a life and I will miss her. ❤️❤️❤️

Less than 300 top surgeries for kids per year. In a population that already is significantly less than 2% of the US.
Trans people didn't raise the price of your insulin. Trans people didn't increase your rent. Trans people didn't cut your social security.
But I know who did. And so do you.

A health insurance database of 300 million Americans (i.e. almost everyone) found fewer than 300 top surgeries for minors per year.
Kids are ALREADY getting these surgeries in exceptional circumstances only.

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield on Thursday dropped a controversial change to its coverage after widespread backlash. The health insurance giant had previously announced it would stop paying for patients’ anesthesia for the full length of surgeries if the procedure went over an allotted time limit.

Because the below skeet went viral here, and people are arguing over it, I'm going to share some more info about it from a thread I did at the other place. I really need to just do an article about it but haven't done that yet. Until then, I hope readers find this thread useful. 🧵
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

One thing Stephen Miller and Trump intuitively get is knowing who they can hurt without much consequence; they wouldn't try otherwise. That same bully's instinct basically explains how cops operate. On top of every other odious thing about this, Biden is making the same calculation. It's disgusting.
