I believe in Medicare for All like I believe in public schools. There for you no matter what.

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

Interesting. Further down the thread is the chart for public school, which has decreased! I think that part of the problem is that we are focused on the elite schools which have (I think) gone up more than this . . .

Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of expenses at Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding, including renting out a private island. National security experts say it raises an urgent question: What motivated Kremlev to spend a fortune cultivating the connection?

HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare. The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.

Among other things, Elon Musk now makes clear his belief that women must be disenfranchised. And he's now the sole source funder of the Texas GOP. Shouldn't Texas GOP candidates who are running with his money be asked about this?
