A billionaire describes a dark future, only to find out it’s actually the present.
For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.

What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?

Who in the USA gov runs the program?

R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Wonderfully said.
Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

As @MarshaBlackburn and the GOP tell us how “beautiful” the bill is — the reality is much darker.

After school programs, infrastructure projects etc. have already been canceled in Tennessee… and Marsha wants to be our governor? So she can sell TN off piece by piece?

Is this part of their sponsorship agreement?? Very odd
They deleted it before I could get a proper screengrab so this’ll have to do.

(Also, this is some truly sorryass shit)

Well force you to give birth after you’re dead but heaven forbid you get a measles vaccine.
A pregnant woman in Georgia was declared brain-dead after a medical emergency and doctors have kept her on life support for three months so far to allow enough time for the baby to be born and comply with Georgia’s strict anti-abortion law, family members say.
Hospital tells family brain-dead Georgia woman must carry fetus to birth because of abortion ban
A hospital is using a breathing tube and other measures to keep a brain-dead Georgia woman's body functioning because she is pregnant.

Welcome to climate change, where the biggest signal is in the margins.
95° at International Falls on May 11.

Only 49 days since 1897 have had higher temperatures - none of them occurred in May.

If you’re a North Carolinian, you can check whether your name or the names of anyone you know is on the list of the 65K voters whose votes may be tossed. You could have an opportunity to fix it if so.

I went to bed with Duke up 14 and woke up seeing they lost. Unreal. In all seriousness that was one of the best Duke teams I’ve ever seen. I think inexperience got them eventually but they were so big and talented I thought it wouldn’t matter. Still GDTBATH

Awful news --> Delivery of therapeutic food assistance to nearly 400,000 severely malnourished kids abroad is suddenly in doubt due to Trump-Musk firings at USAID, two manufacturers of the product tell me.

"Starving children are waiting," one says.

New from me:

Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Ugly Turn, Putting Starving Kids at Risk
Two U.S. nonprofits that manufacture a treatment sent by USAID to help severely malnourished children abroad say the process is in chaos. This isn’t what Marco Rubio said would happen.

This Carolina team keeps trying to get me to believe but I can’t shake the feeling that these teams are just really bad.

We will see what happens but if Hubert truly loves Carolina he pulls the plug on this and walks away. I can’t imagine he enjoys it at all.
