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

I encourage every hip hop artist to go to this page and see if your music is being used on any of these videos, and if you agree with the way your music is being used.

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 have no morals. They say lies as if they were truth until people believe them. They don’t know shame. It’s difficult to win a war with people who have no honor at all.

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.

It doesn’t do any good to point out the nauseatingly blatant hypocrisy that “Christian” “Republicans” display daily. They don’t know shame. Being hypocritical is not an insult to them. They are willing to accept human sex trafficking to forward their agenda.

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.

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

I went to the House Floor to stop the cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. Republicans blocked it—wouldn’t even consider it. So let’s be clear: they know exactly what this bill will do. And they do. not. care.

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.

Hegseth said to be careful what you read in books, except the Bible (said as an afterthought)—to this woman (tell me who she is please). It’s not a shocker to us that they aren’t reading anything but the Bible. Also the idea that that dude is living the way Jesus prescribed is HILARIOUS.

Bones has some funny little things that give tells that none of the writers or actors are from around here. Using the term “subway” instead of “metro” and saying “we are at Takoma Park” while standing in a park with a big fountain. I like that the dynamics are similar to those in Castle.
