Rural hospitals are shutting down because of cuts to Medicaid in the current budget which also… increases defense spending.

Why is JD Vance in the shadows behind him dressed in a. dark robe and carrying a scythe?
For want of a napkin, we could have been spared a good deal of economic misery.
Man, this is really ham sandwich’s year.
So many of our “elites” seem to have sprinted right on by the whole “consent of the governed” thing.
Felonies make the best blurbs.
Will Lewis really upped the standards at WaPo.
Anything that smacks of meritocracy feels like weaponization to this administration.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE KITCHEN TABLE?
The challenge is that the vacuum exists between their ears.
To be fair, the random walk that results from the efficient market often involves a drunk guy so maybe investors could be forgiven for thinking this is normal?
Because if you do, you're ahead of the entirety of the White House Press Corps and 98% of all "journalists" in the U.S.
So, like a Fetterman but for the House?
I think Trump walks this back due to quiet pressure from the money guys.
I mean, seriously. Better defended than the Institute of Peace and not Federally funded.
a.k.a. Three No Trump.
Yeah, but this isn't like a case in which they already have someone in custody and are going to whisk them away. Through what mechanism could Trump force her firing. He doesn't control the purse strings, and I kinda doubt he could march into the Fed like he marched into the Institute of Peace.
It's a move of roughly 0.34% from the high to that point. That doesn't reflect much investor concern at all. I don't think they're right, but markets aren't moving much at all at this point.
At this point, you could get inbound nukes, and investors would be spouting off about the potential profits in remediation and construction.
I'm getting a sense there might be a theme here, but I must be mistaken. Surely the media would connect the dots if there were.
Investors still had PTSD from the financial crisis, at the very least early in the last decade.
It doesn’t seem as if that’s what they’ve done in D.C.
Check out Mr 5 day week feeling all confident over there.
This keeps up and JD will no longer be able to swipe right on the Ikea website.
Still vertical though.
I reckon we’re all just pernin’ in a gyre at this point.
The Only Living Boy on Mars
Norman is leaving? Man, that's South Carolina's loss given that he'll be spending much more time in the state.
And they say all the reporters that could break big stories left WaPo.
Or a stylist.
Marty Zweig is unimpressed.
Why are you bringing Melania into this?
David Hasselhoff, indirectly
Man, when rent boys go bad, they really go bad.
…but you repeat yourself.
I felt really dumb when I asked the doc why he had me turn my head and he replied “So you don’t cough in my face.“
So there’s a good chance inflation will be at it’s peak - at least to that point - right around the midterms?
You better watch it. Keep publishing declining numbers and Trump will issue an EO replacing you with a statistician that was at the J6 riot.
The coldest cut of all.
They can catch the hoagie guy but not the pipe bomber. I for one feel safer every day.
I would consider a payday loan to make an immediate purchase.
Try the plums in the icebox while you're at it.
Don’t worry though - you can absolutely trust Apple with your personal information!
Them Duke Boys better be on their toes.
Assaulting my brain with his Sharpie/Draining my life with his words/Killing me softly with his graphs/Killing me softly with his graphs...
After he introduces phrenology, no doubt. It's big among Trump appointees.
Where's his fiddle?
Delayed.
I’ve said for years that Republicans want to rule and Dems want to govern. Focusing on governing as institutions collapse is a fool’s game.
But I'm sure we can take them at their word that the decision to fire Colbert was purely based on economics.
…who does CrossFit.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the Dooley name won't mean much to loosely attached Rs or potential swing voters.
Did he specify which year?
You still want to point it out though, no? It helps make clear what's happening to those not paying close attention.
Great to see Trump’s “You think we’re so innocent” argument make it to the NYT. Really does America proud.
It’s pretty clear the man knows from taking drugs.
Reverse Polish Notation ftw.
We need the guy that reviewed Guy Fieri’s restaurant in Times Square to review this place.
Yeah, if you don’t have a next step after “move fast and break things”, you might have a problem.
Don’t worry - the NYT says masked authoritarian goons might be okay.
Given this precedent, Nickelback could take out an entire Board.
El Presidente Cabeza de Piedra
Can the Streisand Effect be overturned on appeal? Asking for a friend.
I'm sure SCOTUS will just pick this up on the shadow docket over the weekend...
To extend the metaphor, it definitely seems like voltage differentials have been rising.
Hopefully just someone flying in to NYC to steal a trophy.
In light of the polling on issues, is his overall popularity in line with what you would expect?
It’s interesting to think about how the current environment - with a handful of tech giants acting as information gatekeepers - compares to the days when we just had the 3 networks.
Wood has more character.
But they do such solid line art in the WSJ.
Sound like a solid name for a 90’s boy band.
The fact that this leaked says something about the effectiveness of the pressure campaign.
You're doing a lousy job lately of confirming my biases.
Okay - got it. Sorry. I'd like to think I'm normally the first to pick up on /s.
I'm curious why you think this. Does Pence have more sway with Trump than anyone in the Republican coalition?
Just say eggplant and we’ll know what you mean.
John Prine was always on target.
A ritual that involves a sizable advance.
Same.
But isn't his popularity still holding up, albeit at a low level? If so, given that he's so underwater on so many issues, if the cult cracks, look out below.
How dare you call the NYT "pretty misleading"! There's no need for the qualifier "pretty" in front of "misleading".
Interesting to juxtapose moves in EFA, EEM with SPY, RTY on this news.
To be fair, it’s worked for him before.
Completely unnecessary.
I gotta wonder if this will work.
At this point, they'll likely lose many judges in the lower courts and their unfavorables among the general populace will likely spike, too. If the system fractures, they'll be part of that fracture.
He's treating other nations like he treated his vendors. Threaten to stiff them and then tell them to take 30 cents on the dollar or get nothing. He thinks that's how negotiations are done.
At this point, I think we could get notice of ICBMs incoming and futures would be flat.
I’m sure he bought along a pack of smokes to hand out.
If the NYT followed this principle, it would be a much thinner paper.
They must be thinking of allies like they think about blue states.
Given that the tariff “announcement” was followed by an “announcement” about stripping Rosie O’Donnell of her citizenship, I’m comfortable taking a wait and see approach on tariff policy.
Yep, second time is definitely farce.
Next up, a compassionate gorilla.
First and foremost among his accomplices were Mitch McConnell and John Roberts.
Dean Phillips, the future of the past.
Trump is really going all out to secure the loyalty of the security apparatus, the military and the pensioners.
My bad! Official guidance is so confusing now.
BUT KENNEDY SAID IT WAS FINE!
Ah, you're referring to The Night of the Long Sporks
