Fred Trump had dementia and his family set up a fake office so he could think he was in charge while other people made the decisions. Mentioning this for no particular reason at all. Not even sure what made me think of it.

When companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients.

President Trump said the only way out of "Alligator Alcatraz" is to be deported — but that's not the way U.S. law works.
We're defending people's right to contest their detention and deportation in court.

😂 Good point. Bondi ordered 1,000 FBI agents to review roughly 100K pages of Epstein files (the ones that don't exist but now exist again but Obama wrote) - and Senator Dick Durbin said the FBI agents were told to "flag" any mentions of Trump. This is a must read from Marcy:
Reup: Congratulations to Pam Bondi for creating an additional 1,000 people who know what is in the Epstein files.
Really superb work!

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

Hey remember in 2017, when Donald Trump was President, and North Korea successfully tested a thermonuclear device, and in response Trump, like, decided to become best friends with Kim Jong Un?

I believe the separation of Church and State is one of our most important ideals as a nation. When that line blurs, law and equality matters less, and flawed mortals get to act with more and more unchecked power in ways that threaten freedom.

The USDA is also rolling back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing.
