Medicaid did this for my son. Saved his life when severe scoliosis was collapsing his lungs & beginning to interfere with his heartbeat.
Handbook for managing current President?
Marie Antoinette vibes building up.
I just wish we could fast-forward thru the “Let them eat cake” scene & get straight to the guillotine.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
You said nothing wrong. It was understood you were outlining the context of Kirk’s persona & how it logically made him a target because of the hatred he fomented.He wasn’t to blame for his own death yet his hateful words put him at risk, increasingly the likelihood he would attract murderous loons
This is ridiculous. Dowd said nothing wrong.
He should be asking himself: Have my actions made it easier or harder for a someone to murder with a gun?
Easy answer. They practically put the guns in the hands of evil lunatics that will very likely commit crimes yet they act so bewildered by the violence.

Are your aggressive maps ready to go because gerrymandering is the fight right now!
Reposted by Elizabeth Vest
We know they will cheat, violate every norm & try to run out the clock in court. They will gerrymander Ohio, Missouri & Utah next. We must be prepared to go proactive now to stop the slide of Democracy. This post is to the Governors who can combat this. 2/

Texas launched their first shot over the bow today for stealing the election with gerrymandered maps. Authoritarian Trump told Texas to find him the votes (like he did in GA). 1/

ICYMI:

Vance Boelter has been captured and is now in custody.

Boelter was arrested in Green Isle, the city where he lived.

ABC News says Vance Boelter has been arrested.
This is probably the real reason he has a bug up his butt about Harvard.
Bad timing. With the the far more dangerous & also cognitively impaired current POTUS this book seems like pulling a fire alarm long after the house has burned while the new homeowner violently water-hoses it into a mudslide off the side of a mountain setting off a tsunami. Cover the current danger.
Is it that Americans just “keep a few hundred dollars in their checking account” or that a few hundred dollars is literally all they have?
Correct assessment - at least as long as Trump is in office.
I would be concerned that deadbeat parents take the $ to “home school” and never actually teaching their kids anything.

Biggest mistakes I'm seeing in early reporting (thread):

1. Tariffmageddon isn't over: Lotsa tariffs to account for, but the average tariff rate is only down around one quarter. So most of the pain of Liberation Day is still with us.
The power of information silos.
Yet Biden was trashed while they easily got richer when he was in office.
