If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention. Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Constant chronic crying since the day they won all 4. The cult raced out to blow any kind of mandate, respect, leadership or integrity. Look at you now, Mike.

NEW: Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger just revealed stunning early voting numbers ahead of the midterms. 450,000 Virginians have ALREADY voted, compared to just over 200,000 at this point in 2022. @macfarlanenews.bsky.social reports.

Direct Cost Savings for Employers: Because medical coverage would be absorbed by the universal system, employers would no longer need to pay separate, expensive commercial premiums strictly for the medical portion of workers' compensation insurance. ​

Streamlined Patient Care: Injured workers wouldn't face delayed care while insurance carriers dispute liability or determine which policy is primary.

​Elimination of Dual Systems: Today, when a worker is hurt, healthcare providers and employers waste substantial administrative time determining whether an injury is "occupational" (billed to workers' comp) or "non-occupational" (billed to private health insurance).
