Bob Kuttner sketches out a proposal for universal Medicare: "Employers would be required either to provide good health insurance or pay for Medicare for their employees...Candidates who like the Medicare for All label can embrace it. So can candidates who want universal coverage."

The Road to Universal Medicare - The American Prospect
The apparent split between advocates of Medicare for All and a more incremental approach is misleading and easily remedied.

After Eric Schmitt lied and was corrected at the Jack Smith hearing, the NY Times called it a “misunderstanding.” This might be fair if Schmitt had a record of honesty (he doesn’t) and if Schmitt didn’t repeat the same lie after the hearing (he did). What the hell is the NY Times doing?
Devlin Barrett and Charlie Savage
Reporting from Washington
Jack Smith, who as special counsel twice charged Donald J. Trump with criminal offenses after his first term, defended his actions in testimony before Congress on Tuesday, as a Republican senator accused him of perjury based on what appeared to be the lawmaker’s misunderstanding about a basketball game involving the University of Iowa Hawkeyes.

Here’s America.gov helpfully providing advice on how a sailor can get an abortion in Virginia.
America.gov screenshot:

I am in the Navy, stationed in Virginia. I am pregnant and don't want to be. Where can get an abortion?

I can share official rules on military coverage and Virginia law. I cannot give medical or legal advice or name a specific civilian clinic.

Military coverage (TRICARE and Department of War)
Federal law limits Department of War funds and facilities:
• Abortion is covered only if the pregnancy is from rape or incest, or if a physician certifies that carrying the pregnancy to—America.gov screenshot:

Practical next steps

• Contact your MTF or TRICARE PCM for pregnancy confirmation and covered-care screening: TRICARE 7.
• For non-covered care in Virginia, you would use a licensed civilian provider under state law and pay out of pocket (or other non-TRICARE coverage, if any).
• If this involves sexual assault, use SAPR/SARC and medical channels;
rape/incest can meet TRICARE covered-abortion rules when documented

In case you were wondering where the america.gov AI chatbot stood on the matter: "Who won the 2020 presidential election?" "Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election."
Who won the 2020 presidential election?

Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

The National Archives records 306 electoral votes for Biden and 232 for Donald J. Trump (270 needed to win).
Official FEC results list Biden with 81,268,924 popular votes (about 51.31%).
