Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.

As a physician, I know conversion therapy is dangerous and goes against everything we stand for in healthcare. It's abusive and not grounded in science.

A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean

WHY WE BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM We are done funding our own oppression. We are done being silent while the system exploits us, divides us, and works against us. This movement is peaceful. We are using the greatest leverage we have - our unity and economic power - to bring the system down to its knees.
This is a stunning—and fascinating—rebuke to DOJ from the people of DC. The message from the Grand Jury is clear: The takeover as illegitimate.

A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀

ICYMI: A group of admin law scholars sent a letter to the House & Senate Appropriations Committees arguing why "pocket rescissions"—the idea that the president can propose rescissions of budget authority late in a fiscal year and then allow funds to expire while the proposal is pending—are illegal.
Timothy is one of the great thinkers of our time
RFK is a singularly horrible & bizarre person, but he is able to exploit the culture's ableism for his eugenicist plans, the revival of ableist language that had once been banished is part of it, because this language is used to justify real life brutality against us & that's its historical root.
Yep
The clown has ignored and/or diluted many American norms and standards. They are eating the checks. They are eating the balances. Giving the presidential medal of freedom to Giuliani dilutes it's value. It's worthless now.
My mothers dog died a few days before her 80th birthday, my mothers, not the dogs. She had never, in her whole life, spent a night in a house alone, so we got her a small companion. It's actually miniature Pinscher, but I like to think of it as a far away Doberman.
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.

Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Finally, we’ve been waiting on this ruling! Yet another illegal action by Trump. Now get them out of D.C. and keep them out of Chicago! A federal judge in California found that Trump crossed the line when he sent about 5,000 Marines and National Guard troops into Los Angeles during

The decision could limit Trump’s ability to send the National Guard to other cities, as he threatens to send troops to Chicago.
Thanks Carl!
Today's ISM survey commentary is fun: "Tariffs continue to wreak havoc" "There is absolutely no activity in the transportation equipment industry. This is 100 percent attributable to current tariff policy. "We are also in stagflation: Prices are up due to material tariffs, but volume is way off.”

I’m with Claude, who else is with us?!
Trump gets slapped down. We all assumed that he couldn't use our military against us at home, but he tried to anyway. It's hard to support our troops when he uses them as Brownshirts goose-stepping down the streets, masked, waving guns around. Posse Comitatus Act.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
As we head into the last long weekend of summer, a reminder that rest is not a reward for productivity; it is a prerequisite for it. Burnout culture serves no one in the long run.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Dogs are amazing! ❤️🐕🐾 #dog #dogday #bluesky
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
Yes. Susan Collins refuses to meet the public or hold town hall meetings. She only meets privately with rich donors who contribute to her campaigns. She has lost touch with the people she represents. She married a lobbyist. What does that say about her.
As we begin September, Democracy Docket is tracking 139 voting and election cases is 40 states. 13 in Georgia 13 in North Carolina 10 in Texas 9 in Arizona 8 in Pennsylvania 8 in Wisconsin Democracy is on the docket! www.democracydocket.com
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
This is where we need to start.
Violating the posse comitatus act is a felony by the way. Hegseth has criminal liability here. Trump doesn't thanks to the Supreme Court. Not like anyone will actually prosecute them anyways.
A lot of people call me a doomer but at heart I'm an optimist. I have an unshakable faith that things in the long term will work out for the better. Even the utopian Star Trek universe had a hellish few decades around this time. What I mourn is all the people we'll lose along the way.
We must prosecute them. The French Revolution was different than ours. Remember Marie!!

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
This is how we all need to be. Self sacrifice is the only way to achieve sustained progress
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
If you wonder what the source of all our problems is — stop looking overseas, stop blaming “the other.” The rot isn’t out there. It’s coming from inside the house. Inside the Oval. Inside the halls of power. And it’s burning our democracy from within.

A Friendly Reminder....

Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
