WTH?! Immaturity is on brand for Kakistocracy 2.0, but this is still ridiculous. Doubling down on ad hominems (or ad feminams), throwing around random insults such as “hack” as if a journalist with integrity fears being called that… Karoline Leavitt makes even Spicer and Sanders look respectable.

When (not "if", but _when_) we finally get Trump and his weak sycophants out of office, it won't be enough to just undo all the damage the current regime has caused. We need to make large-scale, systemic reforms and pass them into law.
National health care should be _way_ up on that list.

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.
Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.
Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

25 years ago, I read this novel, fell in love with it, and hoped that it would be made into a movie one day.
Last night, I found out that it's in theaters now, is directed by Aronovsky, from a screenplay by the author, Charlie Huston.
I'm so excited to see this.
