Actual doctor here: this is not remotely how this works.
Hospice is medical care. Your insurance works for it just like it does for any care (which in the US means there will be some denials, a request for forms, lots of waiting on hold, and a large chunk left for you and your family to pay 🤦🏻♂️)
JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
Stephen Miller claims that immigrants to cities like NYC come from countries that "would have never developed the combustion engine" if they hadn't had contact with "the west," adding, "we have completely changed New York City"
"Very well said," Will Cain replies
As Samuel Alito carried water for white supremacists, he should be reminded that the second iteration of the Ku Klux Klan (after World War I) was more virulently against Roman Catholics (that would be you, Samuel) than they were against Blacks.
Samuel Alito's dad was born in Calabria, Italy in 1914, which was a completely failed state shithole at the time. You either spent your life farming dirt or got killed at 16 working for an Ndrangheta underboss. Now his son spends all day panicking about uncivilized Haitians.
As a Watergate historian, this might be the dumbest and worst take we’ve seen from JD Vance in a long time. And it’s also a complete misunderstanding of Nixon and Watergate.

If we want to counter the gouging of consumers in the current Gilded Age, we need robust antitrust enforcement, not these enablers leading DOJ.

That MAGA Master General David Steiner needs to HAND OVER his Resignation immediately!
WE the PEOPLE do NOT Trust that he will securely & dutifully deliver our MAIL-IN Ballots!
He is obviously happy to be involved in Trump’s Weaponization & Politicization of our once TRUSTED US Postal Service!
I’ll repeat it again for the people in the back, the United States has no Supreme Court, it is now a weapon filled with 6 fascist terrorists used by the orange felon to destroy the country and relieve people of their basic human rights instead of him being in jail for treason.
A NYC board just voted to freeze the rent for up to two years for about 1 million rent-stabilized apartments. Mayor Mamdani, once again, has come through on a campaign promise & people’s lives will be easier.
These things are POSSIBLE. We just need leaders willing to fight for them. 👏 👏
PEPFAR was a historic Conservative Republican triumph of the GW Bush administration.
It has saved tens of millions of lives. It is one of the best things America ever did.
Destroying it stains all of us, further. Every Conservative, every Liberal, every American. Numb vandalism.
The State Department’s plan will basically destroy PEPFAR and lead to the closure of many CDC country offices—a scenario that would jeopardize the health of millions and make Americans less safe.
This fucking idiot is blaming the Reflecting Pool algae on everyone and everything under the sun.
But not the sun itself.

Now we know why Donald Trump couldn't go to his son's wedding. The fee the actor got to pretend to be a gunman threatening Donald's life, to help promote Trump's vulgar ballroom, was nonrefundable.
Trump: “only complete and total surrender”
Iran: “nah”
Trump: “Ok then no nukes ever! We want the nuclear dust!”
Iran: “we’re keeping it”
Trump: “ok!!!! We have a deal”
Foxnews crowd:
Preznit Fuckwit gave a speech where he bragged about taking a cognitive test where he had to "name a horse" and then he accused Iran of sponsoring "tariff." this idiot's brain is cooked. I cover this and all the other dumbfuckery in my 'this week in stupid.' link is here: bit.ly/49jSABg
Trump is paying Iran $25,000,000,000 to return things back to the way they were before he started his pointless, lost war to distract from the Epstein inconvenience.
He's an "Art of the Deal" genius that way.
Just weeks before Howard Lutnick’s testimony in the Oversight Committee on the Epstein investigation, he made a $5 million campaign donation—his first since becoming Secretary. And who did he make it to?
A super PAC for House Republicans.
Let’s let that sink in.
Desperately keeping the Epstein files from
being released ….
Desperately avoiding his tax returns being
audited ..
Looting the Treasury at every turn ….
Who could have seen this coming ?
here's today's post: "the January 6 rioters are about to get millions, and We the People can go fuck ourselves" — why do we even have laws, if some shithead gets to ignore them?

Q: You and the president ran on a platform of no new wars, cutting gas prices, cutting inflation. What do you say to people who are going to the polls today and feel like those prices are unkept?
JD VANCE: We've delivered great wins for the American people
The MAGA regime ended protections for a critically endangered species known as the Rice Whale by allowing Big Oil to drill in their natural habitat. They’re also ending limits on forever chemicals in drinking water that cause cancer.
This isn’t policy, it’s evil, it’s murder.
President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”
It's so hilariously unaware that the administration "for the working class" can't be bothered with the cost of groceries and gas because it is *obsessed* with gilded ballrooms, whomped up reflecting pools, gaudy arches, and fancy golf courses. What idiots!
Today another War Powers Resolution failed on a tied vote in the House, because Republicans are failing to defend our Constitution!
We’re here to say NO once again to this illegal and reckless war.
END THIS ILLEGAL WAR NOW!
This always amazes me. In a very reprehensible way...how these men went from making these statements to complicit enablers. They could have and should have been better.
The Iran intelligence assessment revealed more than a failed military strategy. It revealed a president trapped in a 20th century worldview while confronting 21st century crises.
From drones to AI to housing to healthcare, this is becoming the defining problem.

COLLINS: But if someone was paying $2.98 a gallon before the war, and now they're paying $4.53, saying 'that's life' might not make them feel better
JIM JORDAN: Those are your words, not mine
COLLINS: You said that just now. I quoted you.
