I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Surely, the decision to hold a military spectacle at that time is just coincidence.

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.

Another example. Republican efforts to curb Veterans benefits by creating a disability rating system that costs more to operate than simply giving all veterans direct government healthcare. Same goes for healthcare for all Americans. Doing the right thing is always cheaper than the cost to block it.
