The USAID thing will eventually be talked about like a genocide

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.
National Dems highlighting Rutherford county…
Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.
They have also just updated their menu, so please listen to all of the options before making a selection.
Sean Jones KC@seanjones.org · 5d agoHow is it possible that every time I call a company they are experiencing greater than normal call volumes?
I am amazed that people walk into discussions among knowledgeable human experts and say “ChatGPT says…” It’s very insulting to do that, and it makes you look ridiculous. Everybody has seen LLMs spit out wrong information about *extremely* simple things. Don’t make a fool of yourself!
Jewel Food Stores (Kroger) has decided to sell their Taylor Farms salad mixes for 2/$8 instead of pulling them off their shelves. I talked to three different employees there and none of them have even heard about it. One guy is leaving a note for the day manager. Corporations are very bad people.
So nobody has the authority to go to the fuckin hospital and see if Mitch McConnell is dead or alive? This is some bullshit man.
Beshear needs to do what Mitch would do in his shoes. The law they made to stop Beshear from appointing a replacement violates the state constitution. Make the friggin' appointment!!! Make them prove he's alive or take you to court (which will prove he's not alive).
Gov. Beshear suggests he received information suggesting McConnell ‘passed’ in new interview
The governor said he received the information from diffrent agencies but did not say which during the July 15 interview.

From an anonymous source: “As a VA nurse who interacts with MST Veterans, I can't believe this behavior is acceptable.”
Gov. Andy Beshear must immediately go on the effin' offense, call a special election, and force a *public* proof of life of Mitch McConnell.
NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.
If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.
Just want to say that @jaketapper.bsky.social wrote a book on the wrong candidate’s dementia and that should be obvious to every American.
I need y’all to get into the fact Mamdani watched the World Cup match at Rikers. With incarcerated folks. AND…he’s shutting that MF down. Give this man the Nobel.
For real though, if you wanted to guarantee that the number of service connected disability claims that the VA has to pay out each year balloons exponentially, there are few better ways to do it.
Q. McLamore@ghawinriver.bsky.social · last mo.While ridiculous from any standpoint, we shouldn't gloss over the fact that (a) Hegseth's understanding for what "high T" is has nothing to do with actual metrics and everything to do with RoK and InfoWars misinformation and (b) that this can and will fuck up the troops' health long-term.
Klobuchar proving her loyalty to being an establishment Dem and softballing Todd Blanche today. Bye, Amy, can't wait until you're gone. Hopefully it's before you turn full Fetterman.
When appointees can lie during confirmation hearings without consequences, the hearings are worthless. @wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov @judiciarydems.senate.gov
Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.
stop. if you think the existence of a warrant is part of the conversation in any way, you cannot, by definition, argue that it makes any difference whether the guy they killed had a warrant or not. because right guy or wrong guy, an arrest warrant isn't a death sentence.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · last mo.BREAKING: BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) - Homeland Security secretary said man killed by ICE in Maine was not the target of warrant, Maine Sen. Angus King says.
Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.
Democratic senators taking the high road for people who actively tried to overthrow elections -- who are literally *on tape* saying "Please subvert American democracy" -- shows that we are still playing completely different sports, here.
Back-to-back World Cup games held at 40 and 50-year-old stadiums, one of which was privately built. Remember that the next time a politician tells you they need a new taxpayer-funded stadium to attract world-class mega-events. It's bullshit.
This should horrify all of us! Women in ICE detention underwent invasive medical procedures without informed consent. Senator Jon Ossoff’s bipartisan investigation called the findings “nightmarish & disgraceful” Everyone deserves dignity, bodily autonomy & human rights! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance
