It's not that Donald sent this as awful as it is; it's that nobody felt they could stop him or, worse, nobody thought they should.

Don’t worry folks. Just last year, Yale New Haven Health Systems CEO Chris O’Connor, who enjoyed the largest pay hike of any health exec in the state, assured shareholders that "Our balance sheet remains strong. We have the strongest balance sheet in the state."
https://cthosp.org/daily-news-clip/yale-new-haven-health-ceo-oconnor-details-tough-year-restructuring-and-plans-for-recovery/ 
Even still, O'Connor says Yale New Haven is well-positioned to withstand the turbulence while staying focused on long-term growth, particularly in central Connecticut.
"We've had such tremendous success at Yale New
Haven over a long period of time, we were in a position to absorb that volatility," he said. "Our balance sheet remains strong. We have the strongest balance sheet in the state."https://archive.is/Gyw7N

Despite recent messaging on the financial stress facing Connecticut hospitals, the two largest nonprofit health systems based in the state gave their top executives significant pay hikes in fiscal 2025, according to new documents filed with the state.
Yale New Haven Health CEO Christopher O'Connor reported the top pay package for fiscal 2025 of any hospital executive in Connecticut at $6.2 million, consisting of $4,753,996 in salary and $1,431,753 in
"fringe benefits," a combination of vested retirement pay and other benefits.
O'Connor saw a 22.1% increase in his pay package in fiscal 2025 compared to the year before, and the top 10 highest-paid executives at Yale New Haven Health saw their combined
compensation increase by 7.3% year-over-year.

You can be opposed to the Iranian regime AND the reckless bombing of school kids. You can support the troops AND be opposed to sending them into senseless wars. You are not an antisemite if you decry the Israeli regime’s genocidal rampage. Don’t let morons impose their idiotic view of the world.

No justice could deny that Trump’s EO violates the 1952 Act of Congress conferring citizenship on exactly the same children born in the US whose citizenship the EO tries to erase. A 9-0 decision so holding would leave Congress free to try Trump’s move if it was as racist as he is.

Trump either doesnt understand how many people rely on robust Medicare and Medicaid programs for healthcare needs or he doesn’t care. Suggesting states should foot the bill is nonsensical but signals his priorities (which aren’t healthcare)

The foxes aren’t just guarding the hen houses. They’re selling chicken out the back gate.
Screenshot of a tweet by Acyn summarizing comments about multiple lawsuits and settlements involving figures connected to the Trump administration and January 6. The tweet lists payouts to Michael Flynn and Ashli Babbitt’s family, mentions lawsuits by the Trump family and Proud Boys members, and criticizes the trend as excessive litigation. The embedded image shows a news segment with a headline about the DOJ agreeing to pay Michael Flynn to settle a malicious prosecution lawsuit, alongside footage of Flynn.

Now TACO Trump wants to walk away while Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz, meaning that country gets to decide who transits it with what toll paid to Iran. Art of the Deal!

The image shows a split-screen CNN interview with a female anchor on the left and Van Hollen on the right, with a banner about talks with Iran.

A bill passed the Senate last night 100-0 to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA. If Speaker Johnson called it for a vote it would pass easily. But he won’t do that. Because Trump has ordered him to keep TSA shut down and keep the chaos. Pure incompetence.

Joe and Jill Biden with their new rescue pups (and cat, Willow) all the way from Johnson County, Tennessee. This is such an amazing thing!! I’m in Southern Ohio and, black lab mixes are very common and struggle to get adopted. Thank you, Biden family ❤️ 🐾#DogRescue #DogAdoption
Joe and Jill Biden with cat, Willow, and two newly adopted black Labrador mixed dogs. I’m not sure about the other three people pictured with them. I assume some are from the rescue organization.Two local rescue dogs, abandoned in Johnson County, now part of a very familiar family! 

Here’s how it happened. 

The wonderful Rescue DOG & End of Life Sanctuary in Mountain City, TN took in the pair of black lab mixes and were able to get them transported to a Delaware rescue. 

Well — they were adopted together by the Biden family! 

“As you can see the pup on the right is staying true to Johnson County, TN character and will not sit still for the photo shoot, ready to run and play,” said Melissa Gentry, the founder of RDEOLS. “Are we excited about this adoption? Yes, but we are just as excited when our local folks adopt, like Quint Reece across the street. To us, a great home is a great home! We are thrilled for these two pups who were once abandoned on the mountain. We always tell each one, "make us proud" .. these two sure did. God speed, sweet babies!”
