Breaking: Trump just banned states from being able to wipe medical debt from Americans’ credit reports. The Biden-Harris administration had moved to wipe medical debt from credit reports. Now this new rule will keep $220 billion in medical bills on Americans’ records.

Yes, it will. Unfortunately, people will die because the rural hospitals will close.
"It's really harmful to people who rely on rural hospitals” Piper said. "We also know that there are tax cuts in there for the wealthiest, so they're getting rid of health care and instead giving it to wealthy folks. So, wealth care, if you will." www.kq2.com/news/second-...

Trump is punishing the people who voted for him
NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990. In fact, it would be the largest transfer *ever.* Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

As always, ETTD. "Trump’s policies are starting to wreak havoc on the very rural white citizens who have been his most loyal geo-demographic voting base. If they voted for Trump last year hoping he’d make their lives better, they’re quickly finding out they made a mistake." www.publicnotice.co/...

So Trump, you want to deport “homegrown” criminals? Only one of you has 34 felony convictions, was found liable for sexual assault, impeached 2x, and is actively tearing this country apart. Look in the mirror,it’s you. Not sure you’d survive a gulag-you dodged military service because of bone spurs!

Fund managers quietly fear Trump doesn’t have a tariff plan and that he ‘might be insane’
Hmmmm…is someone lying again! Oh ya he is.
"When he said, 'I have the highest poll numbers of any Republican for the last 100 years,' that wasn’t just wrong, it was the opposite of reality: At this point in their terms, every other GOP president since the dawn of modern polling has had more support than him." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

A lot of people are going to die from this
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Trump is hurting a lot of his rural voters, sad…very sad.
B of A: “.. the termination of #USAID will .. result in fewer crop purchases from US farmers. In 2024, USAID purchased $2 billion in U.S. grown corn, soybeans, wheat, vegetable oil, and peas from farmers, representing 1-2% of annual exports ..”

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.
How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Just a reminder: as a lawyer you don’t have to do immoral things for the client. You can quit.

Same with me. For over a decade, there’s never been a site to reliably curate news other than Twitter. In just the last few days, I’ve seen news break here before I saw it on Twitter.
Bluesky, with a well curated follow list, has already replaced Twitter for me as the place to immediately see what's happening of relevance to me as a media producer in the independent media space
