If you've wondered how/why private equity firms got into providing healthcare (which truly is a bizarre connection), this may help you understand the details. And the impacts. We can do better. Thanks, @motherjones.com for more great reporting! Such a worthwhile subscription.

Wall Street gutted Steward Health Care. Patients paid the price.
One of America's biggest for-profit hospital operators is bankrupt, broken, and responsible for countless mistreated patients—thanks to its private equity overlords.

Really good assessment of the current reality - and what's to come soon - from a company owner.

A President with true comfort lying, frequently, should be worrying to all. (And I'm not freaking naive, I understand that there are times when a lie is truly needed by a National leader, but it should be incredibly rare, not every day.)

This gives me a fond memory of the archeology dig I spent a month on, forever ago. Every morning we were woken up EARLY by herons "Kronnnking." Yeesh, never got used to that....

Don't lose site of some of the .. stuff .. they're working to distract from. (Not just this, but also the whole tanking the economy, manipulating elections, doing everything they can to sell off our National Monuments and other publicly-owned lands, and maybe being a disgusting pedophile, too....)

And on a much worse note.... As Liza knows, at some point each day I wonder out loud: "So what new fuckery have I missed during the day?" as I turn on NHPR or some other news source. This one ranks extremely high in the "fuckery" rankings, though apparently not new.

100 days in. Things are going great, if you like crap results, a weakened economy, diminished world respect, shrinking of Americans freedoms, and general chaos. If those are your jam, the first 100 days have been .. well, they've been something.

Watching people in various FB groups think they can disentangle their "interests" from politics, in these wild days, is very .. wow!!! Politics is in everything, whether they want to accept that reality or not. It's real. Onward.

We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics. What a tragically stupid country we are.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

WTAF?? Tribal police should start demanding visas of ICE agents and information establishing when their families came to this continent. (Yes, I know the context isn't quite right, but I'm all in on the sentiment/intent.... And I'm still on first cup of coffee.)

Sadly, I think that this assessment is correct. They'd be altogether concerned at the ramifications of accidentally/easily manipulating as fickle a species as ours.... (And the violence and chaos that would ensue.)

What kind of crazy, overinflated, sense of self must Pete Hegseth have to believe he's remotely qualified to manage an institution as massive as the Department of Defense? I can't fathom that level of sheer gall. (And feeling "relieved" that since he got the job, he'll quit drinking.... 🫤)
