No Republican plan for the mom who loses Medicaid. No plan for the kid who loses coverage. No plan for the family crushed by a premium hike. Republicans have one plan: cruelty. They made that choice. Our votes can make them answer for it. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

The Trump admin has practically hung a shill up saying "pay to play." It is most corrupt administration in US history. Yet, as I write in my latest Santa Fe Reporter column, it is gaslighting the American people by wrapping its every illicit action in oversized flags. sfreporter.com/columns/lett...

And so it continues... Our economic debates seem utterly disconnected from the reality. That reality: This is an economy mostly creating healthcare jobs, and it does so month after month, and everything else is just noise.
Line chart titled "Effectively all of the net job creation has been in healthcare and social assistance, and jobs are shrinking in the rest of the economy" showing change in non-farm payrolls since January 2025 through September 2026. Healthcare and social assistance added 998,000 jobs with consistent growth throughout the period, while the rest of the economy lost 222,000 jobs, meaning all net job creation came from healthcare. The rest of the economy showed particular weakness from May through August 2025 when losses reached 218,000 jobs. This striking divergence reveals an unusual concentration where one sector's growth of roughly 48,000 jobs per month has offset persistent contraction across all other industries combined.

The irony of the “but he’s a promising young man” excuse/pass these men are given is that very occasionally, when it comes out, the consequences for them may arguably be worse & longer-lasting. As it should be, if for nothing else than their refusal to accept ANY kind of accountability.
