"Totalitarian" is the word Eric Sevareid used to describe the Axis countries during WWII. It is the word I use now to describe the US.

The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of bank records. My investigators reviewed a portion of those records last year. I've demanded the Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.

Bessent's not only hiding these docs, he bizarrely claimed Treasury has no role investigating them at all. It’s a lie. It's impossible someone with his background doesn’t know about Treasury's extensive role investigating the kinds of financial crimes Epstein must have been committing.

When I was an undergraduate at Wash U in the 70s, there was a term of art used to describe an MD; it was said to be a license to steal.
I think some of my classmates actually took that to heart.
All I can say about that is it’s just sad.

There has been a strong incentive for medical geneticists, especially those who work for companies, to over state their predictions.
IMHO , neither medical genetics nor medicine should be a business!
But we live in an age where greed has eclipsed benevolence.

This is why the emails of Senators and Congresspeople are no longer public, and you have to fill out a form. They know they are crooked, and they don't want the public to express their outrage directly to them.
We aren't a democracy anymore.

WATCH: “Every Republican voted to keep a payola provision to send millions to individual senators bank accounts. IT’S CORRUPTION.”

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them.
I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

There is no universe in which Senate Republicans vote to extend ACA subsidies.
It. Will. Not. Happen.
All Senate Democrats can do is make it excruciatingly clear to the American people that this is the logical consequence of giving Republicans complete control of the government.
