WOW! I volunteer with League of Women Voters doing voter registration after naturalization ceremonies! We have had ceremonies cancelled because of the regime. I am so excited your suit was successful!

Please tell me about this world where when you call a medical facility, they tell you exactly how much it will cost you to be seen.

So - I decide whether to be treated for a heart attack based on price? I have time to research all my options and make the best financial decision?

To be fair, if they don't have insurance, that $250k is probably what they would be charged. (Speaking as someone who has had to pay the list price before)

Maybe they'll bring back polio and smallpox next.

I can't remember if we tracked the number of absentee ballots when I was volunteering at the commission in 2020. We scanned the bar code on the envelope each arriving ballot so we could track who had voted (and note so in the poll books). There must be a way to run a report from that system.

Happens in Milwaukee every election because Republicans won't let election commission even open the envelopes for absentee ballots until the polls open.
Then they complain about a Democratic ballot dump.
It's all orchestrated.

My friend J is 102 years old. She lost her second child to a vaccine injury - turned out the baby was allergic to eggs.
She still vaccinated her other three children.

Oh heck there was a thalidomide kid in my class - she had just three fingers coming out of each shoulder.

How much of a loss did the military post?

Even if we were at war, I am pretty sure we are not allowed to slaughter civilians.

Yeah as soon as I read that part, everything made sense.

Right? All he does is wait for the president to tell him to jump and ask him how high.

What does FEMA and property insurance have to do with health insurance?

AARP warned me to keep my library card safe because otherwise someone will steal it, check books out under my name, and then *sell* them.

My pelvic floor PT changed my life. For two years, I took AZO almost every night from bladder pain. My doc tried different RX but nothing worked. I finally went to a PT and she FIXED ME. I thought I was going to be in pain every night for the rest of my life, but she fixed me.

The same paper that published this - because nothing says downbeat like enslaving other people.

And it's rare to encounter a jerk in a GOTV phone bank. Most people are pretty nice. If they're not, you just say "Thanks," hang up, and make a note in the file so someone else doesn't have to deal with them next time.

I loved my operations research class at UT and talked to my professor about getting a PhD. He gestured at his tiny, windowless office and asked, "Is this how you want to spend every day?"
