Seriously. DO NOT do this. Think about it.
Cis folks: Shouldn't have to say this, but do not, under any circumstances, refer to a trans person's deadname as their "real name." Whether it has been legally changed or not. For fuck sake.

All you have to know about private health insurance is that ALL OF IT IS A SCAM.
Literally ALL OF IT. For-profit, non-profit. DOES NOT MATTER.
Let's review, shall we, class?
1. All private health insurance in the US is a scam. Got it?
2. See 1.
When in doubt? See 1.

However much you hate the "health" insurance industry, you don't hate it enough, frankly.
United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.
How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage
Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

Not one person should have to lose health care so one billionaire can have a tax cut.

WHAT? Another Trump project that complete nonsense?
This is what we call "vaporware" in the IT world. Something that gets talked about endlessly and is always just around the corner. But it never materializes and people eventually stop talking about it.

if mamdani gets this in every interview, republicans should always be asked to respond to the 76% of Black voters who think their party is "very" racsist
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

Seriously? How on earth is this OK? Pollard spied for the Israelis. He's a traitor to this country. He served his time in prison (28 years) and emigrated to Israel in 2020.
But Huck should NOT be meeting this traitor (who has not been a US citizen since 1995) for ANY REASON.

It's really not much more complicated than that. I wonder what the Russians would do if Putin suddenly died? Would they continue or withdraw?

A front-loading washer is the ideal place to defrost a turkey: the water drains into the tub, and once it’s completely thawed you can just run a sanitize cycle to clean the machine.

Ghislaine Maxwell needs to have her predator ass shipped back to a real prison if she wants to keep her friends protected from justice. Fuck that pedophile. She should help the victims or experience a part of their pain by being a prisoner without hope.
