I also wish that the Dem leadership had the courage to say this
I wrote the speech I *wish* Chuck Schumer would give tonight - as an actual opposition leader. Here it is:
"My fellow Americans: At this hour, an unrestrained force of militarized and violent federal officers is carrying out a project of ethnic cleansing in the streets of American cities."

CVS is also the pharmacy benefit manager. PBMs are notorious for opaque reporting
AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed?
CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer

First review of 2026 is live and it's for a good 'un -- an exquisitely esoteric database mystery from @inkle.co.
Shades of Sam Barlow, naturally; I was also reminded of Benjamin Labatut's "nonfiction novels", The Maniac and When We Cease To Understand The World. www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

TR-49 review – inventive narrative deduction game steeped in the strangest of wartime secrets
The UK game developer’s latest is a database mystery constructed from an archive of fictional books. Their combined contents threaten to crack the code of reality

This, 10000%. And from media we thought we could trust to do better.
It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.
I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.
