A dozen rural hospitals face closure after 15 years of GOP leaders refusing Medicaid expansion. Cuts from the "Big Beautiful Bill," championed by Marsha Blackburn, will make it worse. As Governor, I'll accept Medicaid expansion. It's time to stop sacrificing rural towns to score political points.

Pretty sure 'kelvin waves' will work similarly to 'ocean acidification' as something you can spring on climate change skeptics who do their own research. It should generally lead them to a better understanding. Tested it last night with the neighbor and it did get them to pursue what it was.

Ignoring the policy arguments against this particular version of a billionaire's tax—like a one time assessment only deepens CA's budgetary dysfunction, etc—i really wonder how many voters will just see "do you want to tax billionaires" and with little other knowledge just pull the lever for yes.

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

I think a lot about Biden/Garland keeping David Weiss on as US Attorney, because they didn't want to meddle with the Hunter probe. And then Garland elevating Weiss to special counsel so he could convict Hunter. And this having ZERO IMPACT on the GOP certainty that Biden was rigging the DOJ
