My wife (who has managed ERs for many years) was trying to keep her cool reading all the headlines about the CEO and asked when someone was going to write a story about all the violence caused by insurance denials that happen to nurses and staff and doctors because patients can't get to the CEO

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

A key to understanding her is that none of this is posturing, or acting on bad advice, or mistaking a narrow demographic for the country as a whole, this is just who she is. This is how she acts with everybody regardless of their status, high or low, or their take on politics. She's true to herself.

I'm sorry but I don't think you can do "oh the Dems didn't talk about this one issue I love so that's why they lost" in this election, democracy was and is on the line, Trump is a horrible man who ran a horrible campaign, sometimes you have to just face the reality of the electorate being awful

I'm a broken record on this but a 2nd Trump presidency makes it even more important that big liberal cities become places that build enough housing to accept the internal & international migration they've been pricing out for decades

Voting locations in Georgia planned, with a court order, to stay open a little later since they had to close due to bomb threats that originated from “Russian email domains.” At the state & federal level the GOP is fighting the decision. Its core strategy is to make fewer votes count.

The big story tonight is Russia’s overt attack on America’s election - they didn’t even try to hide it - yet it’s being hugely underreported. This is a huge deal - a superpower intervention to help Trump win.

And let me add what should be an obvious point: Democratic voting is being targeted by terrorist threats in, AFAIK, GA, MI, PA, and AZ. Some of the most Democratic places will delay reporting because Trump's friends have called in terrorist threats.

Time to boycott, bro-cut, Florida Florida's abortion rights measure failed to clear its required 60% threshold, DDHQ projects. The first post-Dobbs abortion measure not to pass, despite being supported by most Floridians. The state's 6-week ban will stay. 19thnews.org/2024/11/flor...

It's the 59th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, which *would be an occasion to celebrate, but for the fact that the landmark legislation has been repeatedly sabotaged by the Supreme Court Voters of color are now less protected than they've been in decades ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Any American followers who are strongly committed to the absolutist free speech culture of the US, I'm curious to know what you think of this. Do you agree with the prosecution and would there be any chance of this happening over there? news.sky.com/story/jordan...
