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.

Was so glad to be in your most excellent country during the vote. Great to see you Canadians remind us what a civilized country, with an informed electorate, does when given clear choices of the path forward.

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.

For instance: Like to ski and wondering what connects that to politics?? We've got: federal land policy, transportation policy, appropriations policy, energy policy, and immigration policy as immediate starting points. Right now. Get used to identifying and expressing political viewpoints.

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.

VITAL KNOWLEDGE: "This is the 3d time [Trump has] capitulated on a tariff threat .. (don’t forget Colombia), and it’s possible there could be a 4th .. ".. stocks will be struck in a standoff between healthy macro fundamentals and Trump-related noise for at least the next few months."

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.
