The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Not every idea is worth airing. Not every point of view is worth hearing. Not everything that "a lot of people believe" should be credentialed by homepage space. Would the NYT editorial board run "Did Homosexuals Ruin Culture?" or "Did Black People Get Too Big for Their Britches?" I guess we'll see.

This is what I know about Republicans: they don’t want us to have healthcare or food. They don’t want us educated. They think people are only worth as much as they can produce in GDP. They don’t like gay people or trans people.They treat women with disdain.
I would never vote for a Republican.

This US SENATOR was physically pushed out of a room as he tried to ask Noem questions at a press conference.
He announces that he is a senator, and they continue to manhandle him, take him into the hall, push him onto the ground, and cuff him.
This is truly shocking.

Typical. It’s usually women who sacrifice for the “self-sufficiency” these folks fetishize.
I once met with a Missouri libertarian who was actively trying to defund public schools, and I asked how that would impact his own children. He has nine.
He told me he homeschools them. I said you homeschool them? He said well, my wife…
Yeah.
