Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

Under Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All plan, a family of four earning $50K would pay about $844/year in household premiums-replacing taxes.
Today, the avg family pays $6,850 in insurance premiums out of pocket, before deductibles and copays.
Which of these is the larger number?

We dug into the leaked build of Lunar for Roblox.
By default, Lunar tracks at least 64 different kinds of actions that occur in the app. Every 15 seconds, they send every interaction to their servers. This includes:
• Every game you join and how long you played
• Every game you favorite, like, or dislike
• Every game you toggle notifications for
• Every group you join/leave
• Every macro you create/modify/activate
• Every screenshot/clip you create, delete, favorite, or copy
• Every community forum post/reply you make
According to Roblox's own policy about User Privacy and Third-Party Integrations, "Creators may not send individual user data to social platforms, chat applications, advertising networks, vendors, or partners for their own business purposes. Creators also may not sell, rent, lease, or syndicate this data."
Through Overwolf, it's disclosed that over a thousand external ad vendors can access user data for purposes including:
• Personalized advertising (789 vendors)
• Personalized content (275 vendors)
• Advertising and content measurement, and audience research (672 vendors)
• Store and/or access information on a device (1005 vendors)
Lunar lets you turn off its own analytics and "ad optimization," both on by default. But the third-party services built into the app are harder to control. Sentry, which reports crashes and performance data, has no setting to turn it off. Overwolf's ad controls limit ad targeting, but the ads themselves can't be turned off.
On Windows, Overwolf reads the cookies saved by Opera and Opera GX (if installed) and copies them into Overwolf's built-in ad browser, skipping major sites like Google, Facebook, Steam, and Amazon. This likely lets ad networks shown in the app recognize you from your normal browsing. It also checks for antivirus software and appears to skip this step if it finds one, and the code that starts it doesn't check for consent. Overwolf also runs its own anonymous analytics, which apps can turn off with one call. Lunar never does this or offers it as a setting.
Lunar currently contains code, connected to the Overwolf ad system, that turns an email address into unsalted hashes (MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256). These hashes are commonly used to recognize the same person across different apps and websites. Nothing in this version runs that code, and Lunar has no way to get your email, so no email data is collected today, but a future update could switch it on, as it's mentioned in their privacy policy.
Also, Lunar has internal kill switches that could prevent certain users from (within the app) purchasing avatar items, purchasing private servers, using macros, multi-instance launching, using per-game outfits, and viewing ads.

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

We aren't doing this shit. It's not about your race, it's about you being beholden to corporate interests and opposed to the priorities of the voters who just handed you all this majority.
Recall, Jeffries had to be dragged kicking and screaming to endorse Zohran at the last minute and Schumer never did even though he was the Dem nominee and is one of the most popular figures in the party.
CNN: Hakeem Jeffries criticizes the DSA over lack of diversity when crowd of its members chanted “you’re next” at Jeffries
“It was very interesting to me, as observed by others, that there was almost zero diversity in that crowd.”

To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.
My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.
A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.
You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard.
Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.
