@johnnysaks130 And it’s not just doctors and hospitals affected by this. Outpatient and mental health clinics have been unable to file claims or verify benefits. A lot of solo and small group practices will likely shut down from this without financial help

[Josh Marshall @joshtpm]

A friend asked me my take on this thread. So I’m seeing it a bit late. As someone who knows A LOT about Democratic politics, this is all true. If you were asking my own take I’d probably focus less on the anger abt getting exiled, though that is definitely part of it.

I spent some time today looking through articles and trying to get an accurate timeline of everything that brought Ricketts to purchasing his Senate seat. Here's the relevant dates:
1. Sasse wins relection in 2020, meaning his seat isn't available until 2026

[Moe Davis (U.S. Air Force, Retired) @ColMoeDavis]

If you assume Trump waved his tiny hands and magically declassified the documents he was hoarding at Mar-a-Loogie, then the documents should be available to the public. But if making the documents available to the public would create a risk, that’s exactly why they’re classified.

Two useful new papers on politics & Twitter:
😈Political discussions are especially hostile because they draw in status-hungry individuals who like to offend. These people act the same way offline
🤷Most Americans on Twitter are uninterested in politics & have very centrist feeds

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

I'm not saying that Dems are *good* at political strategy. The party has made some bad choices. But given that Republicans can win Senate & Electoral College majorities with <50% of the vote, Ds are fighting an uphill battle and that should probably factor more into assessments.

LET’S FUCKING GO SAINT PETERS I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU BUT I KNOW YOU’RE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW PLEASE WIN THIS GAME

[Dmitry Grozoubinski @DmitryOpines]

We got a million dumb as fuck takes about how keeping the door open to membership of NATO or the EU "poked the bear".

Where are all the "poking the bear" articles about how NATO was slumbering away peacefully until Putin decided to poke it so hard even the Germans woke up?

Every intersection in Omaha has the following in its four corners: One carwash, one Scooters, one vacant plot of land unoccupied since 2007 that the Mayor thinks will be perfect for a skyscraper, and a ten story Dino’s Storage warning that ye must repent!

[Julian Sanchez @normative]

Biden deserves all the flak he’s catching for the ineptitude of the executiion—it didn’t have to be quite this bad—but I don’t want to hear a goddamn word about “weakness” from the people who kicked the can out of pure political cowardice.

[Greg Miller @gregpmiller]

Pentagon officials were almost constantly at odds with CIA over how much territory the US-backed government truly controlled.
In 2019, spy agencies warned that US objectives were in jeopardy even with US military, and without all but destined to collapse. https://t.co/6Vsmft4xG5

[John M. Donnelly @johnmdonnelly]

SCOOP (and thread): @SenGillibrand & @ChuckGrassley have 60+ Senate votes for their proposal to change how the military decides on prosecuting sexual assaults & other major crimes. They didn't have that number a week ago. (1st of 3) https://t.co/19wVZONrMc

Re-apportionment is a great time to think about how redistricting would work so much better with proportional multi-member districts. And a bigger House.

[Lucas Kunce @LucasKunceMO]

As a reminder, shareholders of US companies are about 40% foreigners. So the Raytheon CEO would rather give $400 million to foreigners than invest in production and innovation here in America.
