Schumer isn’t making any sense to me. If they’re already wreaking havoc on the government without the CR, then why vote for the CR that FUNDS them to continue the bloodbath?

Maybe the NYT could have done that giant wave of accountability stories before the election, and participated in the electoral process; sharing links to the NYT is not, in and of itself, a ‘form of participatory democracy’—it’s making money off of nominal opposition. Substance matters.

I've covered UnitedHealthCare before, over a year ago. The video was recirculated by the YouTube algorithm after the shooting. But if me calmly and accurately explaining what your company does comes off as a 'threat' or 'motive' perhaps that's more a problem with your company than the speaker!

Before the devastating fires burned across Los Angeles, many homeowners learned they were losing their insurance policies. Some faced big increases in premiums that they couldn't afford.
