When Biden left office inflation was about 2.9%-and falling. It ultimately got down to nearly 2% Now-thanks to Trump’s war with Iran-inflation is at 4.2%, and rising So much for lowering costs “on Day One”

Is conman Kevin Warren still employed by the #Bears today? Why? Here are the reasons he must be fired ASAP for the franchise to have any chance to dig out of this historic debacle. DBU on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.

Mike Johnson likes to claim his deep, personal faith; but he's a pathological liar. Why southern baptist leaders don't call him out is beyond me.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops. CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

James Talarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation's capital. I believe in the power of prayer. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

If you're celebrating the killing of Charlie Kirk, you've failed basic love of country & basic human decency. If you're using the killing of Charlie Kirk to attack certain groups of people & to declare “war on the left,” you've failed basic love of country & basic human decency.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him. If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Cost-cutting tactics

The secret bonuses were just one of many maneuvers UnitedHealth devised to track and cut expenses in its nursing home initiative.

Internal emails show, for example, that UnitedHealth supervisors gave their teams “budgets” showing how many hospital admissions they had “left” to use up on nursing home patients.

The company also monitored nursing homes that had smaller numbers of patients with “do not resuscitate” – or DNR – and “do not intubate” orders in their files. Without such orders, patients are in line for certain life-saving treatments that might lead to costly hospital stays.

Two current and three former UnitedHealth nurse practitioners told the Guardian that UnitedHealth managers pressed nurse practitioners to persuade Medicare Advantage members to change their “code status” to DNR even when patients had clearly expressed a desire that all available treatments be used to keep them alive.

So the so-called “agreement” with China is that we roll back some of the insane tariffs we slapped on them, and the talks just go on? How is that a win for anyone? And what happened to “tariffs will pay down the debt” or “we’ll use them to cut income taxes”? Every day it’s a new lie,hard to keep up
