What will it cost the average person in need to get the coverage they need as ACA subsidies expire?
Will "conservatives" wake up and serve their people in need?
Why is it like pulling teeth to get politicians to see the medical and food needs of #WeThePeople? #Medicaid #Medicare #ServeThePeople

Interesting 24 hours from the medical community. I have received 3 notifications from doctor's to make sure that my insurance information with them is up to date. That and a call from my insurance guy telling me we may need to take a closer look at my Medicare choices in lieu of recent changes.

Mainstream baseball analysis basically consists of people pretending to have memories of goldfish and acting as if their insights are significant. The genre does not allow for simple "hey, that happened, wasn't that a hell of a thing?" observations, which basically cover it all in the postseason.

Headline: As the Dodgers face elimination, their deficiencies are showing up everywhere

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 3d

Republicans are taking away health care from 15 million Americans.

They are doubling premiums for 20 million.

Now, they are illegally withholding emergency SNAP funding that keeps millions of children from going hungry.

All so they can give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%.

I love crazy late-night baseball, but let's not confuse it for objectively good baseball. There were 19 walks issued and 37 men left on base. We were given a master class in bad baserunning decisions. Bad managing. The umpiring sucked. It was not MLB's best foot forward, that's for sure.

I would ask that we all actively ask our govt representatives to continue to offer the healthcare subsidies that have been in place for those in need. I thank God and all of you for being there for me.
Make sure you stress the impact there actions impact so many

1 year ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
I was fortunate to have the insurance to cover the medical treatment necessary to attack it.
I am thankful for all of my friends, family and strangers who prayed for me this past year.

This past season Brandon played at home on the grass of George Steinbrenner Field. So did that gave him the advantage of playing 25 more games than he did in '22 & '24?

Mat Germain @matgermain.bsky.social · 6d

B Lowe will be 32 years old with major injury issues in final year of a contract. I really doubt #Rays hang onto him.
Look at how many games Brandon missed due to multitude of issues, many of which he blamed on playing on turf.

Think Central Florida is all about the Rays? Think again. 15 MLB Teams have Spring Training sites in Florida. Tampa is surrounded by the Tigers in Lakeland, Yankees in Tampa, Pirates in Bradenton, Phillies in Clearwater & Blue Jays in Dunedin.

Blue Jays fever sweeps Dunedin with JayBall, watch parties and golf carts

Canada’s only MLB franchise draws most of its fanbase from over 40 million Canucks, but Dunedin has long loved the team as its own.

Living in Tampa I could hear the Lions of King High School roar as alumnus, Addison Barger, belted a World Series Grand Slam. Barger's historic at bat will ring as the First Pinch Hit Grand Slam in World Series history.

I was asked today why the #Rays couldn’t do what #BlueJays pulled off in 2025. Summary:
Best SP hurt all year long
Best hitter hurt 1/3 of it
Phenom SS exiled for good reason
Worst C duo in MLB for most of year
Worst RF production in AL
Simply put: #Rays were lucky to win as many as they did

Craig, I loved your intro line on the Blue Jays / Mariners game,
"I've always said it: there's no beating Max Scherzer when he's on 22-days' rest."
Thanks for starting my day with a silent chuckle.

Watched a ton of Taylor Walls this season and through the last 5 years. He's gone backwards in terms of defensive abilities more than ever in 2025, and yet, he earns a Gold Glove nomination. Tells you all you need to know about the SS position in the American League. #Rays #MLB
