Kaiser Permanente “advantage” is ok for regular PCP care for my 88 year old MIL, but she fell, broke bones, needs PT & OT that Medicare is willing to pay for a bit longer, but they want to kick her out of the rehab facility early. This is bananas.

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

The fact that we have to use social media to “boost” horrifying stories of criminal mistreatment by courts or law enforcement, or of authorities ignoring their duties and ethics is Black Mirror level United States dystopia we have gotten very used to as a norm.

They know it’s a lie. They lie all the time and say what they want people to believe. If they say it enough A LOT of people accept it. Like millions. It’s actually really fucking creepy how many people it works on. Trump is expecting his Epstein lies to work too and they probably will.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Republicans are desperate to extend tax cuts for billionaires — but they just voted to DENY extending ACA tax credits for middle class Americans. 4.2 million people will lose health care if those tax credits expire, but Senate Republicans just don’t care. Shameful.

Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day. 1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.
