So I decided to look up the claims frequencies of other types of insurance and along the way discovered that the claim frequency for employer provided insurance is actually LOWER, & historically MUCH lower, than people with Obamacare marketplace plans. (He is a medical doctor. He is lying to you.)

We’re supposed to accept that Democratic leadership allowed this caliber of strategist to negotiate a deal with the most diabolical, mendacious group of politicians in American government.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

A heck of a scene at Audi Field.
Trinity Rodman and Sandy MacIver sprinted straight from the sideline to meet Aubrey Kingsbury in goal. Adrián González stood and hugged Tara McKeown and Gabby Carle.
And now, Esme Morgan is waving a flag in the middle of the supporters’ section.
