"To characterize the document the White House produced as a health care 'plan' is overly generous. The entirety of the proposal — literally, from start to finish — is 386 words. For context, this blog post is roughly 650 words..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The same old sentence wrapped in different words: look what you made me do. You pushed me. You deserved it. This is your fault. It’s the logic of abuse, a kind of moral alchemy that turns cruelty into consequence and makes a woman responsible for her own pain. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care. A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn. The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased. Our latest wild story.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing "Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions." Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social

This was moments after Karoline Leavitt was bragging about the Trump administration's record on transparency lol
As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?" She did not respond.

It's amazing how Trump, the lunatic, will spout off the stupidest things (50 year mortgages, $2,000 tariff rebate checks, $10,000 for all the good air traffic controllers who didn't "call out") and the media then feels the need to analyze the idiocy as if it somehow plausible.
