“In some cases, the tool includes duplicative addresses, with the same provider appearing to be simultaneously in-network and out-of-network. In other cases, the tool initially informs users that a provider is covered by a plan but lists that provider as out-of-network on other pages.”

The headline & text of this piece don’t do enough to describe the Trump regime’s extreme immigration agenda.

It’s called white nationalism. Or white Christian nationalism. Or Christian nationalism. Pick one. Only one quote in the piece starts to describe it.

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

There are so many obvious constitutional violations in this story. It is enraging.
There is no war, there is no foreign invasion, there is nothing that justify it. This is a choice to create a military presence that will brutalize residents of cities that do not support the President.

Big news of the day included the announcement of a new hearing for the restraining order meant to rein in federal agents’ violent behavior.

Despite the order, agents have deployed tear gas in two separate Chicago communities in the week since the judge handed it down.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

The disrespect.

Aside from losing many Democratic seats, Black representation in Congress will probably drop from around 14% of seats (nationally representative) to maybe 7 or 8% (not representative)?

Extraordinary NYT story:

Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted.

They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

This is the guy Trump is relying on to pick federal judges

“The grid is a giant machine”

Cooked, folks.

The War Department is hiring!

Stenographers needed, inquire within.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Remember, according to the Republican Justices, it's okay to gerrymander for party advantage, not racial advantage. It's an unknowable distinction, but one that allows the Republicans to okay racist gerrymandering under the guise of political gerrymandering.

We shouldn't kid ourselves into thinking that we will frown our way out of fascism. But we shouldn't think we should appease our way out either (on that point, Eric and I agree). But how will we "invent new forms of shared meaning" or enforce "reciprocal responsibility to care for one another"?

"Opsec, how does it work??"

I think we know which flag Martha will raise when the decision is handed down.

for @slate.com I wrote about Joe Arpaio's view on the SCOTUS shadow docket decision in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo, the case in which Kavanaugh said it was okay to racially profile people.
“I was vindicated by the Supreme Court of all this shit.”

Reprehensible treatment of public servants. History will (hopefully) remember how many innocent, hardworking good people had their lives ruined by their own government and that elected republicans stood by and not only allowed it to happen, but cheered it on.

Terrorizing children is necessary to gain access to all the domestic terrorists hiding in our schools is a real thing our government is saying.

Young Republican poasters are *really mad* in the replies of the apologies every state’s YR is postings, and you’d be unsurprised to learn they’re mad about the apology and not the story.

A defining feature of this admin is attacking as antisemitic everything they don’t like while constantly engaging in rank antisemitism.
