No reverence. War is not entertainment. Real leaders approach force and risk to our military with a heavy heart. This is the gravest situation for a country and you make a spectacle of it. No character, no dignity, no integrity. Our troops and country deserve better. You stooped to childish bully.

James Talarico: Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor. There was no exception to that second commandment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religious affiliation.

Try living in the DC area and having to pass by THIS abomination near the Mall. Not the only building he has desecrated of course!

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think. But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

Once again, people we know and love and live alongside turn their heads, revert to whataboutism, retreat into silence, bunker down into tribalism, discard their faith, and abdicate the most elemental responsibilities of being human. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

Paramount’s Trump-by-proxy grip via Ellison shows how ownership can chill news and facts. That risk is why WB/CNN shouldn’t be absorbed by Paramount. Back and support Netflix, and if you can, buy Netflix stock and WB so you have a say.

Pretty sure Jesus would have been a progressive socialist. He believed in helping the poorest, healing the sick, & loving the stranger. He certainly had a heart for refugees and those who suffered. These were tenants of his faith. He didn’t raise armies to fight sin, he loved them out of it.

For Jesus’ birthday this year, he’s asking for affordable housing, universal healthcare, and for people to stop using his name to explain why they’re being cruel to strangers.

Limit insurance companies ability to profit off sick. — incentivize non-profit insurance companies where members vote on leadership and no shareholders — keep more money to providers not ins. execs. — require non-profits ins co to move to a 2nd/3rd opinion and get rid of pre-auth.

Fix the billing and collections — code into law no credit report collections — require providers bill all services to the main provider who sends you only one bill ( labs, tests, radio. providers) from (hospital, er, urgent care). — Get rid of in-network/out of network coverages for hospitals/ers.

Improve market participation —allow anyone with any insurance plan have them to defer untaxed earnings to them. —allow self-employed/self-insured to pay their insurance from the HSA — triple the contribution limits for HSA — on a scale of income— “credit” match to HSA to fund the credit.

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

All insurance deductibles should require an employer matched HSA. 3000 deductible, you put in 1500/company matches 1500. 2. Anyone working in/with the hospital should BILL the hospital. You don’t get to choose the lab, radiology, etc. Months of 30-50 copay bills and you don’t even know who u owe.

Some families with private insurance have been left behind by the major health care reforms of the last few years, putting them at risk of high medical bills after having babies.
