prescription drug coverage is some of the most demonic shit you will ever encounter in your life. my doctor prescribed me a medication and somehow there are now at least two third-party corporations involved for no apparent reason and nobody knows what is going on or what needs to be done

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

If you were in camp “focus on the important things” when they were restoring Confederate monuments and base names here but can recognize the danger there you may want to interrogate some things.

Very funny for someone selling a book about politics to claim they aren’t working in politics.

As usual the actual story here is about the vast "Why I Left The Left" media apparatus. Someone like Barker would never have received attention like this if she had remained a Democrat.

This story is crazy. You used to have to work hard to gamble away $10,000, like winning America’s Funniest Home Videos. Now the newspaper will just give you the money to fritter away.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

very annoying that dem / former dem consultants yelling about themselves or being "heterodox" or whatever all just want us to fuck up the lives of trans kids for no reason. like shut the fuck up i'm not gonna do that

the quality of the CIA's work is really diminishing lately... sad to see

Being a leftist means taking big shots. And making them.

GOP support grows for subpoenaing Donald Trump Jr. over the wedding party controversy: Five Senate Republicans (and counting) are taking the burgeoning scandal seriously, which is five more than usual.

"Why should Canadians trust Americans who have twice elected someone they consider a venal, dangerous buffoon? They could excuse them for being 'tricked' the first time. But electing him again, by a bigger margin the second time, tells them all they need to know." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

They are playing in our faces

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.

ICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?

Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.

Twitter not laughing at your jokes, buy Twitter. HBO owns streaming rights to an unflattering exposé, buy a piece of HBO. Government regulations threaten your businesses, buy the government. Elon Musk seems determined to be a case study in the problem with unfettered wealth.

If your hands commit the genocide, your back should be against the wall, right alongside those who ordered it. You are not a machine. You must choose how you will participate in the world, and if you choose to be a murderer, you should pay for it.

i do find it extremely funny that the first man to ever serve as lieutenant governor of nj immediately had to resign for being a sex pest

It would be nice if we could be confident they’d face more consequences than a student who protested the bombing of children in Gaza

it’s forbidden content but i have watched this video of the AI songs a man made for his mistress after murdering his wife being played in court maybe 20 times today. It is one of the most compelling things i have ever seen

Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...

This is what I keep saying! Defining gender by chromosomes is *the* most radical redefining of gender *ever*. Literally no society in all of human history has ever done that! None! Ever!

Nathan Goldwag @goldwagnathan.bsky.social · 3d ago

It's worth saying that the actual definition of women being insisted upon by these people in relation to, for example, Caster Semenya or Imane Khelif is one that would have been completely unintelligible to the vast majority of people throughout history.

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.

Remarkable: An Iowa right wing radio host just leaked word that GOP polling shows House Rs in peril even in districts Trump won by +10. The culript? Trump and the war. On the pod, Iowa Dem chair Rita Hart explains why the conditions are ripe for big Dem rural gains: newrepublic.com/article/2158...

"RKF took money earmarked to provide health care for Black infants and spent it on his personal security detail" is a ludicrous headline. Comic book villainy.
