Adrieeeeeennnn!!!

No. Taxation was ratified using our representative democracy. That means it was agreed upon by most voters. It was lawfully passed so it is not extortion. Facts don’t care about your feelings.

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME LIKE I’M FIVE? Why do things like TVs, clothes, and appliances keep getting cheaper, while essentials like healthcare, housing, education, food, and utilities keep getting more expensive? Why can technology make consumer goods more affordable every year, but the basics of living keep moving further out of reach? Make it make sense

BREAKING: Financial analysts call for a bailout as the AI bubble begins to pop. Just last year, healthcare and food assistance were cut to give tech corporations and billionaires tax breaks. More programs and services are likely to be cut if a bailout drains further revenue.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 $2 trillion added to the US stock market today.

BREAKING: The S&P 500 surges over +100 points as dip buyers rotate back into technology stocks. US stocks have now added +$1 trillion today.

Stephen Miller: "Based on what I've heard, we could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them"

BREAKING: The US and Iran are considering an $8 billion deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Under the proposal: 1. The US releases $8 billion in frozen Iranian funds. 2. The US lifts its naval blockade on Iran. 3. Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz. 4. Iran stops attacks on Gulf shipping. President Trump is expected to meet Qatar's prime minister today to discuss the deal. Oil is down 4% in last 6 hours as the news comes in.

One healthcare reform I would push for as an internal medicine physician: When a private health insurer refuses to cover medically necessary treatment and that decision causes a patient harm, the insurance company should face the same medical malpractice liability as the healthcare professionals responsible for treating that patient. You shouldn’t be able to make decisions that jeopardize someone’s life and walk away without accountability.

If Hinojosa wins, she is going to fight tooth and nail to take away the vouchers which allow my kids to attend a good school where they will actually learn. Public school has failed us. The voucher program is the escape hatch for kids trapped in terrible districts.

For those who say it’s time for universal care. I am all for it. It would be nice if we could find a way to reduce the cost of care and make it available to everyone, for anything. But it will take work to get there. Other countries with Universal Care make “Most Things available to All People”. It’s not perfect. In our country, we make “Everything available to Most People”. The question for this country, unlike others, is how we can make the best possible care and therapies, regardless of cost, to everyone ? Read @AbdulElSayed ‘s book on Medicare for All. He wisely had more questions than answers. Medicare for All ? Global Budgets ? Or something else ? It’s a difficult path from where we are to “E4E” Healthcare. ?Everything for Everyone) My hope is that we can put together a Simpson Bowles type, Blue Ribbon Commission. One that includes representatives of all stakeholders. From all different type of patients. Including rare disease parents. Rural and Urban Hospitals. The most expensive hospitals that offer unique care. Pharma companies that offer everything from genetics to Cell and Gene Therapies. You get the point Some people think we can just tell all those working in the healthcare system what to do. That’s the fastest way for this to fail. We need to be as close as we can to being on the same page. And we need to figure out a non partisan manner of running our American version of Universal Care. No reason we can’t start now

Democrats won enough trifectas last night to theoretically obtain an absolute majority of the electoral college for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, and they certainly have Congressional majorities large enough to authorize such a compact. The only question is whether it would survive a court challenge. If they win the Presidency in 2028 and stack the Supreme Court as many Dems have threatened to do the moment they have the votes, there’s a chance that we will never again have Presidential elections in America decided by the Electoral College. I do not think people fully understand yet that Democrats won enough elections last night to permanently change this country in a way that may make things impossible to ever undo. Political parties operate off incentives. Their goal is to win elections, not permanently pander to a specific demographic constituency. While they can spend years or even decades in the wilderness, eventually, someone will look at the median voter and determine that he too can win an election by pandering to everyone to the Left or Right of that individual. So what happens when one side of the equation permanently changes the rules so that the median voter shifts from someone living in Ohio to say someone living in Virginia? The Beautiful Losers may not immediately return to power tomorrow, but make no mistake they are quietly waiting in the wings, hoping that Democrats change the rules of the American electoral process in order to permanently enshrine them as the natural controlled opposition.
