UnitedHealth just booted a million seniors off Medicare Advantage—not because care improved, but because profits didn’t. They’re calling it “restoring swagger.” Imagine telling 85-year-olds losing doctors that it’s a branding exercise. This is what happens when healthcare is a stock ticker.

A reminder to talk to your out-of-state friends & family
I live in Chicago and am visiting family & friends in Jacksonville, FL. I have been shocked to see and learn there has been zero coverage on the horrific ice raids in our neighborhoods. They are hearing it from me for the first time. I’ve looked at front pages of NYT, WSJ and more…zero coverage.

Isn't it fun to live in an era when only disgraced, disreputable, hair-on-fire "journalists" are up to the task of telling us the truth?
Fun! Natural fun!

This is a lot, but (allegedly) Olivia Nuzzi sent a secret recorder with a sketch artist to tape Trump at Mar-a-Lago so she could feed campaign intel to RFK, where [pauses to take a breath] something Trump said about his assassination attempt “would shatter our understanding of recent history”??

Whenever local government reviews the library budget and asks, "Why should we give you money?"
We want the library to be able to say, "Because we provide a valuable service used by many people!"
Libraries are like muscles, using them more makes them stronger. 💪

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

Charges dropped against U.S. Air Force veteran arrested during protest outside Broadview ICE facility
The United States Attorney decided to drop all of the charges against Dana Briggs with prejudice, meaning this is a final ruling and the same charges can never be brought again.

By the way, note that the description of Biden as being "in obvious mental decline" was left in the speech, while the description of Trump as the "most openly corrupt president in American history" was removed:
Note that the BBC openly admits in an email to me that the removal of this claim about Trump's world-historical corruption was done "on legal advice."
Translation: Trump's threat of a lawsuit, no matter how bogus, has now been rewarded.
