A $100 Medicare rebate and a $500 Affordable Care Act reimbursement is the political equivalent of finding a starving man in the street, putting a nickel in his hand and saying, “Don’t spend it all in one place.” The insult is more impressive than the help. #PayingForVotes

In Russia, bears calmly roaming the streets is no longer a joke - it is the reality Siberians now face. The animals have started attacking people almost daily; more than 20 people have already died at their paws, with predators mauling seven people in the Krasnoyarsk Territory alone.

A lot just happened. Police cleared an exit for Lang and his group, who left in a large caravan. A cop in riot gear pushed at least one person hard to the ground in the process. Someone, not sure if police or one of Lang's, sprayed people with mace. Hearing reports of arrests but can't confirm atm.
