The UA is the world's largest exporter of diesel. There's NO shortage of diesel in The US. AND, Trump continues to allow diesel exports. There is only the global market place. US buying Russian diesel doesn't increase supply nor will it make anything cheaper for anyone. He's a Russian Asset!

WE didn't get rid of Gabby. She wanted to leave. At GSV 'she' is the go-to person, she didn't have that role here. Here she had the "Storm players don't get fouls called" curse and got hammered continually. She plays just as aggressively in the paint with GSV but the fouls vs. opponent's are called

REMINDER: Hhis outrageous talk is designed to do 1 thing. Keep him out of prison for child_r^pe. At every opportunity, demand he stop violating the law and release the remaining 1 MILLION plus EPSTEIN FILES. Doesn't take a genius to understand why he's willing to break the law by withholding them!

What would the MEDICARE FOR ALL Act mean to how much you pay for health care? The Medicare for All Act (S.1506 HB.3069) is a greatly enhanced, improved, and streamlined program, not must current Medicare for more people. Universal Healthcare make sense! Check it out here. thewholebill.org

What your household's healthcare actually costs, including the employer share that never touches a paystub, and what universal coverage would cost instead.

Beware: Those unbiased independent agents who help seniors navigate Medicare vs so-called Advantage plans get PAID if they sign you up for a corporate plan. Up to $864 for signing up and up to $432 each year you renew. They get ZERO if you choose traditional Medicare. Follow the money!

$76 BILLION MORE. Medicare will pay ~$76 BILLION MORE in 2026 to private Medicare Advantage plans than it would spend for those same beneficiaries in Traditional Medicare. Same people, Same year. Those are OUR Medicare dollars! How much more actual healthcare could $76 BILLION buy? -MedPAC, 2026

The U.S. ranked #2 in delivering care — yet dead last overall among the 10 comparable countries studied. The Medicare for All Act is about changing the costly, complicated system we use to finance & access care. Keep the care. Improve the system around it. Commonwealth Fund, Mirror, Mirror 2024

In 2026 <1% of the 4,500 FDA listed Rx drugs are ALLOWED to be cost negotiated. The Medicare For All Act requires ALL Rx drugs to be negotiated. If $1.5 B savings for 1% of them, imagine what the total will be for ALL of them! Canada negotiates Rx prices. UK does too. Look how they fare.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the first Medicare-negotiated prices are substantially lower than what private Part D prescription drug plans were negotiating & could save enrollees a collective $1.5 BILLION in out-of-pocket expenses in 2026. www.aarp.org/pri/topics/h...

When the Toronto Tempo come to Seattle to play the Seattle Storm, we play O Canada before the Star Spangled Banner too. At the most recent game I'd say O Canada got the louder ovation. We want Canada to clearly know that SEATTLE LOVES CANADA and CANADIANS!

WOULD YOU RATHER PAY $2,100 — OR $200? That's roughly the difference between today's Medicare Part D annual out-of-pocket drug maximum & the maximum allowed under the Medicare for All Act. Which would YOU rather pay? Fact-check this for yourself. Read the actual bills: S.1506 / H.R.3069.
Chart shows Current Medicare Rx Max Out of pocket vs Medicare For All max.  For 2025 $2000 vs $200, for 2026 $2100 vs $205, for 2027 $2400 vs $210.

ONE of the reasons it hasn't been allowed is that in the USA, unlike many countries, we have a DIY culture where millions of homes are MIS-WIRED or in unsafe condition. Backfeeding your home's panel can lead to fires, explosions, and destruction of your entire home/apartment.

Today's DISTRACTION - the rapist-felon's map of USA illegally annexing/occupying Canada and Greenland. DON'T ENABLE HIS WIN - He wins when social media and the news cycle talks about HIS chosen topic and ANYTHING other than the EPSTEIN FILES. They are what WILL bring him down.

We must not be lured into his DAILY DISTRACTIONS. He wants and needs to control the news cycle and social media and we must stay focused. Bring up the Epstein files EVERY DAY across social media. We can't let it slide.

LarryO @ymi-blue.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
ALWAYS remember: He thrives on his DAILY DISTRACTIONS. Please DON'T give him ANY social media time/space/comments/replies as that is EXACTLY what he wants most. STAY focused on what WILL bring him down! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES should be posted, reposted, shared, liked, commented on DAILY by all.

His daily distractions are designed to STEAL your media space and time. He wants to control the narrative and the news cycle. Every time we fall for it and stop talking about REAL issue, like the fact that he's protecting CHILD_RAP1STS and is almost certainly one himself, HE WINS.

"Medicare for All" ISN'T today's Medicare! Similar name - Very different coverage. Today's Medicare has major limitations & issues. Medicare for All refers to a specific plan in both House (HB 3069) and Senate (S.1506) that addresses them. M4A is not today's Medicare, expanded to include all.

Don' confuse Health Insurance with Health CARE. Insurance provides no actual health care, only paperwork, money transfer, and denial of care.

This was really the first really complete game for the Storm. A few shaky times, but overall they were far more composed than previous games. DOMination! Dom hit 3 of 4 from 3, hit mid-range, and in the paint. Blocked shots and effected others! The bench played really well, too. All with out FJ!
