Millions of Americans could lose ACA coverage next year: 1/4 enrollees may walk away if subsidies end. Unaffordable premiums lead to mounting medical debt, & reduced access to essential care.

Donald is too stupid to realize that admitting that a doctor asked him to take THREE cognitive tests is an indication that he is exhibiting signs of cognitive decline. He's so preoccupied with lying about the results that he doesn't realize that being asked to take the test points to a problem.

2. Record $13.1 trillion in mortgages
3. Record $1.7 trillion in auto loans
4. Record $1.7 trillion in student loans
5. Record $1.2 trillion in credit card debt
Even worse? 33% of Americans now have more credit card debt than emergency savings

The 81-year-old, second-richest man on earth, calls up president directly and demands that he be allowed to use $100 billion including capital from world’s most repressive regimes and Trump’s son-in-law to conquer a massive entertainment and news complex to preserve “competition“

Complex thinking requires clear writing.
Complex thinking requires clear writing.
this is my #1 advice to grad students: anyone can reproduce jargon; the bigger flex is being able to make the argument in straightforward prose. clarity is indicative of deep thought and engagement. even chatGPT can write word salad.
i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.

My undying admiration will go to any reporter who brings up all the evidence of former Honduras President Hernandez's crimes running drugs, and reminds that he was convicted by a jury, and ask Trump how he can claim to be tackling the drug problem while letting such a large trafficker go free.
