This is a great explanation of the difference between 1 million and 1 billion, and how huge the wealth gap has become.

It's not just stupidity, it's virulent racism...

He had to win office to avoid jail - that was his greatest priority

I think so too... It seems to be the distinct difference between the US and other western democracies regarding universal healthcare...

The only people ultimately responsible are those in congress... vote them all out.

Its just as likely that many white people don't want black people to get publicly funded health care

Why isn't it your place to question her? Are you a journalist? And it doesn't have to be framed that way... it would be very helpful to contextualise her terminology - especially as it was the lede.

Just because the CJ chose that word doesn't make it right.

Where did you address her mischaracterisation of the term burden? It was like a case study in internalised misogyny.

“Popular” refers to widespread public approval, not just local polling. Name recognition doesn’t explain admiration or influence, it just shows you don’t understand nuance. Words do have meaning; try learning them before lecturing others.

Do better.

You could contextualise that framing, that's your job.

Because 800,000 people have died so far due to the removal of USAID, and millions more are expected to.

What TF don't you understand about the destruction of all these institutions by Musk - the repercussions will cost the US for generations.

Why are you commenting? Why are you ignorant AF???

Countless lives? They're countable.

The estimated no. of lives lost in Africa due to cuts to USAID and foreign aid is currently more than 360,000 deaths.

Reports indicate that there will be 2 to 4 million additional African deaths per year due to USAID cuts.

Make Trump & his Admin accountable.

She'll suck up a significant % of RW attention and resources, but like Cuomo in NY, it'll all come to nought.

So I say, go for it Marge, create havoc for the ol white boys in your party 😂

That's a feature not a bug in her universe

You're on social media, its all randos 😂

Seriously, complaining that people only read the first post is hilarious, and a rookie error.

TLDR baby, but they'll comment anyway.
