Seniors who worked and paid in for 40 years now face higher drug plan premiums because the temporary subsidy was no longer needed. Timing it for midterms shows real strategic depth. Compassion measured in premium notices. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

D. Earl Stephens@dearlstephens.bsky.social · 23h ago📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter.

"When it comes to the very obscenely rich in America, I take an aggressive zero-tolerance attitude. Break their monopolies. Seize their estates. Confiscate their wealth. They have built a system by which to steal our freedom as well as our money. They are criminals. We should treat them as such."

Rick Perlstein@rickperlstein.bsky.social · 5d agoA watershed piece. America will have have a very hard time becoming less imperialist as long as combat service is sentimentalized and fetishized, when it actually tends to turn men into broken, hateful people, and helps make things like like Trumpism happen. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...
