Come on, guys, give them a break.

They've only had like 16 years to figure this out.
NEW: 'We need to come up with something': House Republicans struggle to agree on a health care plan

Inside the search for a plan, which is going badly.

Swing district members want ACA money extended. Most Rs want it gone (Johnson is siding with the latter).

Ngl this type of fraud is pretty endemic with long-term care facilities.

Why care for the people whom your company is required by law to care for when you could instead just pocket millions of dollars for yourself while your residents suffer?

It never ceases to amaze me that these people can run headfirst right into the fucking point and still miss it.
Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

Dear Abby:

Get fucked.

Just because the company is charging you doesn't mean their staff gets a piece of that. In fact, they probably dont.

If you don't want to tip the bartender for the free drink they just made you, then here's what you gotta do:

Don't fucking drink.

Dear Abby: Should a guest at a wedding tip the bartender?
Some think it is fine for this employee to have a tip jar at the bar; others think it's tacky.

Speaking of players who might get traded, I'm playing with a Tigers MiLB display, and in case any of these guys are moved, I figure why not post it now! #cardsky

And there's a solid chance that one or more of these guys are gonna graduate to the Tigers shelf next season...🤞

Kreis is, of course, unassailably correct, but he's assuming that textualists and originalists operate in good faith and base their conclusions on the plain text and original meaning of the passage.

I mean, there's a first time for anything, but I'm not holding my breath.
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

Will the self-described textualists and originalists on the court base their opinion on the plain text and original meaning and intent of the 14th Amendment, or will they find a way to rule in favor of controlling Republican Party orthodoxy that opposes birthright citizenship?

Stay tuned!

Fubo is airing the World Series of Poker $75,000 Pot Limit Omaha tournament, and I just can't imagine what it's like to have that kind of money to drop on a poker tourney.

I'm still imagining what life would be like if I just had $75,000.
