“That’s not true”. My dad works in one of the largest hospitals in San Antonio, and he even said there were times their ICU was nearing full capacity. What a smack in the face to all the nurses, doctors, and first responders who got us through the worst of COVID.

"Some people act like only way to support universal coverage as a goal is to support Medicare for All, as if anyone who doesn’t back M4A isn’t truly committed to universal coverage. That would surprise the likes of Ted Kennedy, legendary MA Dem senator who was the patron saint of universal coverage"

The White House plan to attract manufacturing businesses with a volatile regulatory environment, new arbitrary taxes (subject to change on a whim), and sending secret police to harass foreign workers has not led to more factory construction in the US.

Clarifying to see how a lot of “respect the troops” was always BS. They never meant it, never thought taking on risk for national service was honorable, just saw people serving the country as props, and “respect the troops” as a selective way to try to silence disagreement over foreign policy.

So Trump started the war, then stood over the flag-draped caskets of fallen service members and claimed they all agreed with his decision? That’s not honoring the dead; that’s using them as political props. The families deserve better.

Periodic reminder that Ukraine is one of our best allies. Between the intelligence sharing, capability sharing (drones, counter drone systems), and the fact they’re degrading the capability of one of our primary adversaries, anyone rooting against them looks even dumber now.
