“Going out of your way to explain that you cut ties with a monster, not because he was a monster, but because he hired people away from you just makes you sound even worse. That’s like saying you stopped inviting Charles Manson to parties because he wouldn’t use a coaster.” — SETH MEYERS

Senate Ds did fight every step of way, made the bill toxic, forced Tillis to retire, made them vote in broad daylight as bill got worse, nixed some truly awful parts. They need more members. In 2026, vote out every R. That is what the lesson is here.

So what seems clear from the intel, is that we probably should have reloaded the B2s, and gone for a second round. Instead the impulsive toddler was desperate to have a strong ending to the movie and declare a cease fire. This is a show to him, entertainment, and he’s the “star”

If this bill passes, the hospital closures start nearly immediately. Can't even imagine how many tens or hundreds of billions in corporate debt/credit is calculated on the presumption of these funds. We are potentially talking "GOP loses every single senate race in 2026" territory

If it’s true that hegseth and Gabbard are excluded from the deliberations and it’s Rubio, Vance, Caine and Ratcliffe it confirms that Trump knows what everyone else does which is that the two of them are hopelessly out of their depth clowns or worse. Now Trump is scared. And frankly it’s good …

Sure. But the insurance industry in America is profit-based. And it has to be unless it's publicly funded. And there are limits on policy scope so of course there's going to be some claims denied. If you want to take profit out of it, that's an issue for Congress.

David MacArthur @megaduh.bsky.social · 19/06/2025
It's a profit based industry. And they manage their profitability by having defined scopes of coverage. The question is not whether they are allowed to deny claims. Of course they are if it's not covered by the policy. If you want to take profit out of the system that's a question for congress.

There should be an independent body that reviews the data and issues ratings to insurers. And if they don't meet certain requirements they should be fined.

I don't mind if they both lose half or even all of what they've got. Although I would much rather see them *give away* half or all that they've got to help other people. I don't expect that to happen though.
