Former Senator Jon Testor says that every hospital in Montana depends on Medicaid & Medicare payments. Nearly every hospital in MT would close. That means that even those with private health insurance WILL HAVE NO PLACE TO GO! This is true in many states with majority rural citizens. Mostly🎈states.

It is not too late for a negotiated solution to the Russo-Ukrainian War. For instance, Russia could arrest Putin and withdraw all of its forces to 2013 borders.

"Literacy tests" weren't about determining if an applicant could read at X grade level. They enabled local registrars -- some illiterate themselves -- to turn away any applicant they wanted by pronouncing them ignorant. So ask yourself: Who would a MAGA registrar see as "informed about issues"?

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

Sing it from the rooftops: congestion pricing in NYC is an unambiguous triumph. It is succeeding beyond its backers wildest aspirations & none of the second-order effects people worried about have come to pass. It's a pure win. Celebrate it! Talk about it! For once, let's own the f'ing narrative.

Two-panel cartoon parodying the trolley problem.
Top panel captioned “How you imagine the trolley problem” shows a person labeled “YOU” standing by a track switch. A trolley is heading toward five people tied to one track; another person is tied to the alternate track.
Bottom panel, captioned “How it’s actually going to be,” shows a smiling man in a top hat (representing wealth or power) at the switch. The trolley is headed toward five people tied up; a person labeled “YOU” is tied down next to them. on the alternate track, another person with money bags and a top hat gives a thumbs up to other oligarch
