Data / ML / System design. Care about politics and trying to leave the world better than I found it, which seems impossible these days. How do we fix it?
- This um at the phillies game needs to never be behind home again
- Damn -- RFK Jr is startled by a demonstrator who starts yelling behind him and is then hauled out
- [Not loaded yet]
- Based on his family's history, I can kinda understand it
- Is Kruk drunk?
- Nope, he's just being himself
- BREAKING: UnitedHealth is under criminal investigation by the Justice Department for possible Medicare fraud
- Fraud? Shouldn't this make the organization the leading hmo in the country under Trump? Maybe Justice snuck this in since he's out of the country.
- This is more Republicans shot themselves in the foot and Dems for once didn't screw it up.
- Senator Tommy Tuberville on Qatar plane deal: "To my Democratic colleagues: instead of wasting…time objecting to every time President Trump breathes, maybe you should get outside of D.C. and go connect with the American people. I can promise you they don’t give a rip about an airplane”
- He's probably not wrong. I don't think anyone Republicans care when Trump breaks the law, because they see is as a means to an end. What end? No clue, but that's why they excuse all his crimes.
- The GOP says they’re going after “fraud and abuse” in Medicaid, but what they’re really doing is cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from a program that delivers care to the poorest Americans.
- How some Dem doesn't just point at Elon and say he promised to find 2 billion in waste and got like 200 million. The republicans want us to trust them on believing magical fraud is on this scale? The media is complicit in this.
- RAJU: There are 130,000 South Dakotans on Medicaid. The CBO says nearly 14 million Americans could lose their health insurance, including in your state. Can you support that? REP. DUSTY JOHNSON: Manu, you have fallen for the trap.
- Damn, they're going full gaslight
- Mike Johnson: "Medicaid is intended, remember, as a safety net for young pregnant mothers and the elderly and disabled and vulnerable populations, not for young able-bodied men without dependents. Those are the kinds of people we're taking off the program."
- Well, I guess at least they didn't blame the welfare queens this time around.
- Across the country, companies like Anheuser-Busch and Comcast are rolling back their support for Pride celebrations next month after years of support. The tide of elite opinion may be shifting—but how far will it go?
- Elite opinion? They're scared shitless of trump weaponizing the government against them. Unwilling to fight, definitely not elite.
