Narrator: While Rick Scott was the CEO of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation when it systematically defrauded federal healthcare programs. The hospital chain later pleaded guilty to 14 corporate felonies and paid a record $1.7 billion in federal fines and penalties.

"The cardinal error of the Germans who opposed Naziism was their failure to unite against it." -William L. Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Russian propagandists have a convenient habit of showing the devastation caused by Russia while omitting the inconvenient fact that Russia is the one launching the drones and missiles striking Ukrainian civilians.

This is Fran. She decided to make you a bowl of her famous bean soup. The secret ingredient is toe beans. 13/10 (TT: franfrannoodles)

A hard situation deep into the Thai Jungle today after we got a tip off. Nobody lives here. Managed to get the first boy saved (more soon we hope) and medical care. I've never seen a dog go from scared to happy to be rescued so quick

Three years ago, the Biden White House attacked me for saying "Democrats should be fighting on every possible front — filing a flurry of lawsuits and exerting public pressure through the media." "The president's team wants to be more selective in picking legal fights." I feel sadly vindicated.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

She's been working so hard for her first week with us to get healthy. And the first weigh in went super well. 7 lbs down and she is starting to feel herself again! A long way to go but she is off and running

Russia wants the world to forget who started the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The invasion was not preceded by any Ukrainian attack on Russian territory. The war was not ‘forced upon’ Russia. Russia chose to start it.

It’s past time to BAN CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING!  No member of Congress [or the White House] should be trading stocks. Period. The American people deserve to know their representatives are working for them, not corporations and stock portfolios. It’s time to ban Congressional stock trading.
