Roger Marshall charged his patients 18% annual interest on their unpaid bills. His bakery bill for $678.75 was due six years ago. At 18% interest compounded annually, the total he'd owe would be at least $1,800. Marshall just paid the bakery $1,300—far less than what his patients would owe.

It would really be great if folks not affiliated with the Trump Administration could stop using "Department of War." The Department of Defense is a statutory creation, and the name is statutorily given--the administration cannot unilaterally change it.

Bird should have never brought this case. It could chill people from speaking up as election volunteers. It was also a waste of taxpayer money to bring and try the case. Joey Norris should be compensated for his time and the money he had to spend.

Last night a jury in Red Oak, Iowa acquitted Joey Norris of felony election misconduct. It's a travesty that he was ever charged, and the blame lies with AG Brenna Bird. I will have more to say about this failed political prosecution in a forthcoming post. www.3newsnow.com/southwest-io...

Ivan Turgenev's "Execution of Troppmann" is a short essay, published in 1870, that gives a first-hand account of the writer attending a public execution in Paris. Turgenev's details how the drunk, unruly crowd turned a somber moment into a carnival. A deeply moving essay; I encourage you to read it.

For years, even Democrats who liked Medicare for All assumed it was too unpopular to endorse. It’s time for them to reassess: The latest KFF poll found 66% public support for Medicare for All, an all-time high. (It’s even increasingly popular among Republicans) www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

For years, Democrats feared that the reform lacked public support. A new survey suggests it’s time to reassess those assumptions.

Two-thirds of Americans support Medicare for All. Americans are done with a healthcare system that puts profits before people. Medicare for All can save 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year—turns out, progressive policies can be good politics AND good policy.

Men do not need to be educated about consent. They know rape is wrong. They don't care. Gang rape is about performing masculinity for other men—proving how “manly” you are by degrading and humiliating women. It’s about power, not orgasms. Enforce the fucking laws.
