At some point, there's enough of a pattern that ICE becomes a RICO enterprise and all its agents conspirators.

More than ones owned by private equity do.

Still just the ones owned by private equity.

No one is making the doctors accept payment.

The government will continue to bear basic research costs.

Way more than we're collecting today by not adequately taxing billionaires.

Happy to help!
How much are you going to pay doctors?

Which current hospitals get shut down ?

What happens if doctors opt out of the system ? Who is going to invest in new curative therapies. You ?

How much in taxes pr year do you think it's possible to collect if you took every penny from billionaires?
Half the amount that everyone currently pays could provide universal healthcare. Private health companies don’t need to exist. Eliminate them. And use your collective buying power and economies of scale to get it done. Every cent of their profit is healthcare denied.

And what a better way to start the tournament than with an overhead GOLAZO by #Morocco attacker Ayoub El Kaabi 🤩

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

So far as I can tell, this mostly directs the AG to file lawsuits seeking to void state laws that prohibit "AIs" from being racist. Unfortunately, I don't think they will be able to file all of these suits in Texas.

I remember Fetterman being all about marijuana legalization ws Lt Gov 🤷
The shutdown deal includes a ban on hemp products that none of its negotiators debated in public.

Disappointing that only 24 senators voted against killing an amendment to strike that ban.

Awesome.
Last weekend, @annabower.bsky.social started to receive Signal messages from the U.S. attorney who is leading the prosecution of Letitia James.

Throughout the exchange, Lindsay Halligan complained about Bower’s tweets and reporting on the indictment–but never once asked to be off the record.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here.”

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

Author "spares" the readers who shelled out for a physical copy of his book "the extra weight of carrying [the endnote] pages around" for their "leisure" by putting them online. Unfortunately, my leisure in reading a physcial book is, in fact, reading a physical book.

All part of Chuck's plan to "deal with social media."
The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.

Here’s a thought.

Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

Hegseth is going to unintentionally lay the groundwork for a military coup against his regime, and I think that's beautiful.
Whatever the reason Hegseth is calling all these generals to Virginia for, you gotta assume that it probably could have been an email.

Not ideal when local law enforcement isn't clearly distinct from the local paramilitaries.

“They called the local sheriff; they showed up and were going to arrest me. These are the same people that I’m supposed to call to coordinate security or to do support when I have a town hall.”

While it's unfortunate that "advice of counsel" letters won't save you after doing war crimes, at least the schmucks whose illegal orders you're following will back you to the hilt (unless it's inconvenient or requires them to care about someone who isn't stupidly wealthy).
Dems ought to be telling people now these letters are worth absolutely nothing.

Brazil should take this threat seriously. SOCOM has the tools to murder tens of civilians in boats anywhere in the world... North Korea, Venezuela, you name it, they can commit a pointless war crime.

Mayor for the people.
EXCLUSIVE: New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is calling on FIFA to end dynamic pricing on World Cup tickets.

His petition “Game Over Greed” also demands that FIFA reinstates a cap on ticket resales and sets aside 15 percent of tickets for local residents at a discount.

Rename the DoD to the Department of War, then cut funding to zero because we're not at war. Easy.
