Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Don’t listen to HHS Secretary RFK Jr. on anything—especially health, disease, and vaccines. He’s straight-up lying and going to get folks killed. Vaccinate your damn kids, people!

Every opinion piece in the Washington Post must now follow Bezos' new rightwing guidelines. Writers can say that they would have written the same thing anyway, but the fact remains: Their piece was only published because it met his new rightwing guidelines. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Reading about the Rupert Murdoch family trust mess. My favorite anecdote is when Rupert’s lawyer cross-examined his son James, trying to get him to admit that his plans to make Fox News more honest would hurt its value because it’s business model was to just tell viewers what they wanted to hear. 👀

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

What happens now: Senate will either have to pass this or the two sides agree on something else. Then they have to draft a bill. Then they have to pass that bill. If it goes as planned there would be a $2T+ bite out of mandatory spending programs (like Medicaid) & ~4.5T tax cuts over 10 years.

Gentle reminder that now is the best time to support local, minority-owned businesses AND LEAVE THEM A REVIEW! You can really raise their online reach for free, plus negate bigots who might feel emboldened to single these businesses out with review bombs. p.s. reviews with pics get more "weight" 😉

Also I want to take a moment to remind everyone (who isn’t an elected official) to take time to recharge your batteries. You don’t have to attend every city council meeting or protest. Find what centers you, then get back in the fight. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
