It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The unholy thing shambles in
He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me
His white teeth make a musical din

Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Your skin is a wooden facade
You’ve brass pedals for hands
And your hair’s copper strands
Give unbearable insult to god

I'm pretty sure the federal laws allow health insurance companies to have animal mascots.
Scalise: "Everybody complains, 'Why when I watch TV do I see this Gecko lizard & emu & all these animals out there selling car insurance & homeowners insurance? Why aren't they selling healthcare?' That's bc federal laws prohibit people to have choices for lower cost products for health insurance"

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering.

This is just one example, but this story is the perfect example of why mediocre white guys are against DEI and this is the “American Dream” they’re trying to preserve. This is the “western culture” they want to protect, and anti-discrimination laws and policies destroy that.

A key factor in successfully extending the subsidies now would be to make sure that people knew they were suddenly eligible for more money and had better insurance options as a result.

People often get *less* than they're entitled to.
It’s Still Not Too Late to Do Something About Those Obamacare Premiums
People are already seeing price spikes—and many will have to give up health insurance. But Congress could enact a retroactive fix.

USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Less than ideal is an understatement. Having this appointee on the panel “and providing recommendations to the president is a disaster for cancer patients, as he will inject conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, and false claims about cancer into the panel’s reports” says @gorskon.bsky.social
NEW: The new head of the panel overseeing the National Cancer Program has speculated about the links between Covid vaccines and "turbo cancer," promoted ivermectin and HCQ, and generally seems less than ideal for his new role. @davidgilbert.bsky.social has the details!
New Head of Trump's Cancer Panel Questioned Links Between Vaccines and Cancer
Yale epidemiologist Harvey Risch, who has speculated about a connection between Covid vaccines and “turbo cancer” and promoted ivermectin, says he'll chair the President's Cancer Panel.

Wild photo choice from Vanity Fair with this extreme close-up of Karoline Leavitt. Earlier this year, people criticized her thin lips. Now VF is showing us a photo where you can see obvious lip filler injection sites. Lol. www.instagram.com/p/DSUsOvHDpH...

FOX: The ACA has never been more popular. Republicans are losing on this messaging. How do you talk to Americans who say the Republicans don't have a plan?

It is pretty interesting how both elected officials and the media generally refuse to act like reality is reality, mostly because the people whose opinions they value are in the 17%
This is extremely important

I found out yesterday that there’s a holiday romance novel about fucking the Ghost of Christmas Past. I think we’re doing okay on the idea front.

“If you were thirty in 2014, you hit the wall.” Or, hear me out, the recession depressed the job prospects of all persons in their 20s during the late 2000s and boomers worked to a later age resulting in less room for advancement, and none of that had to do with a push for greater diversity?

I really think independent agencies are just the appetizer. It’s going to be more important for the admin to undermine adjudications and the civil service. Trump unpopular, but he can still crush state capacity in a way that would take generations to fix!
