It's OK if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

Can't we just settle this over a pint?

Nancy Mace got her butt kicked, and she knows it.

She woke up this morning, brewed that first cup of coffee, and had to type the words herself: "enjoying my 1st cup of coffee after getting my butt kicked in the debate."

Fifth place. Fifth.

South Carolina didn't just say "no." South Carolina said "hell no, and don't let the door hit you on the way to the Waffle House dumpster."

Here's why Nancy Mace landed on my radar in the first place: I watched her sit in a congressional hearing, hold up photos of @HunterBiden at his absolute lowest, and mock him for sport. The cruelty was the point. She wasn't fighting for accountability—she was punching down at a man drowning in addiction.

I took that personally. And I made sure she had my undivided attention ever since.

Now look at her. Fifth place. Humiliated. While Hunter Biden marks seven years clean, shows up with wit and grace, and has become the MAGA whisperer even his former trolls respect.

Karma isn't just real. Karma watches hearings and takes notes.

I'd like to have the grace and self-discipline Hunter has. But honestly? I am relishing your loss, Nancy. Perhaps that's just the Dark Brandon in me.

This is the same Nancy Mace who built her whole personality around being transphobic, who flipped on Trump more times than a beach house mattress only to get dumped by him anyway, and who now has to explain to her donors why she's polling behind "undecided."

South Carolina spoke loud and clear: We don't want your performative outrage. We don't want your cruelty dressed up as conservatism. And we definitely don't want a governor who treats a debate like an episode of Real Housewives of the Capitol.

So here's to you, Nancy. Enjoy that coffee. Enjoy that fifth-place finish. And enjoy that Waffle House dumpster—you earned it.

🚨 Trump's new Medicaid rules just made it official: having cancer is not enough to be exempt from work requirements. You have to PROVE cancer is stopping you from working. While you're in chemo.

This week, the Trump administration released its final 400-page rule on how states must enforce the Medicaid work requirements that were buried inside last year's "One Big Beautiful Bill." Starting January 1, 2027, most low-income adults on Medicaid must prove every single month they are working, volunteering, or attending school for at least 80 hours — or lose their coverage.

For months, advocates for cancer patients and people living with HIV had been pushing for a blanket medical exemption. What they got instead was a trap. The new rule ties the definition of "medically frail" — the exemption category — directly to a person's ability to work. That means cancer patients who are still capable of working, even in between chemo rounds, do not automatically qualify. A woman with early-stage breast cancer receiving radiation treatment? May not qualify. A man living with HIV who takes medication and still reports to work? No exemption.

And here's the part that should stop you cold: Harvard health policy professor Adrianna McIntyre told reporters that even cancer patients who ARE technically exempt could still lose coverage — because the paperwork process is so complex that "a recently diagnosed cancer patient who is employed might lose Medicaid coverage due to errors in completing the necessary paperwork." Cancer will not wait while a Medicaid office sifts through forms.

The American Cancer Society ran the numbers. Researchers at the University of Chicago published a study in JAMA Oncology projecting that over 1 million mammograms and colorectal and lung cancer screenings will be missed within the first two years of these rules. That translates to more than 2,300 undetected cancer cases — hundreds at advanced stages — and an estimated 155 avoidable deaths from just three types of cancer alone.

A coalition of 48 patient advocacy groups signed a joint statement calling the rule "life-threatening." The American Academy of Pediatrics said it will "harm those whom Medicaid is intended to support." The HIV+Hepatitis Policy Institute's director said bluntly: "We will lose individuals from Medicaid, and many will become ill and die as a result."
68 million Americans depend on Medicaid. The CBO says at least 5 million will lose coverage. And Dr. Oz went on TV to defend it by saying Medicaid recipients watch too much television.

@RepJamesClyburn @chaszboy39834 Yes,

But the rich can get even richer.

[James E. Clyburn @RepJamesClyburn]

According to a new report, the Social Security trust fund—which helps pay Social Security benefits—will now run out of money in 2032, a year earlier than expected.

Why? Because Trump’s “big beautiful bill” is depleting the fund faster. Recipients will see their benefits slashed by 22% if Congress doesn’t act.

Sounds like a cut to Social Security to me.

Baobab, a prehistoric species which predates both mankind and splitting of continents over 200 million years ago. Baobabs (Adansonia) are distinctive trees with incredibly large trunks. They can store tremendous amounts of water, as their trunks noticeably swell during the rainy season.

Tree is native to African savannah, where climate is extremely dry and arid, it is a symbol of life and positivity in a landscape where little else can thrive. African baobab (A. digitata) has a vast range throughout the arid parts of Africa; six additional species are native to the Indian Ocean island of Madagascar, off south-east Africa; and an eighth species is native to north-west Australia. The largest known living baobab is the Sagole Big Tree, a specimen of A. digitata located in Masisi, Vhembe, South Africa, near the border with Zimbabwe. Based on its most recent measurements, Sagole has an extremely large base that covers 60.6m², a height of 19.8m and a total wood and bark volume of 414m³. Its  aboveground dry mass is estimated to be 54 tonnes.

Baobab trees grow in 32 African countries. Tree known for its longevity and some specimens in Africa have been dated to between 1100-2500 years old and reach up to 30m high and up to an enormous 50m in circumference. Baobab trees can provide shelter, food and water for animals and humans, many savannah communities made their homes near Baobab trees. Baobab also looms among ancient mounds and remains scattered around them are invariably early medieval or Portuguese.

Until 2018, the largest living baobab was sacred Tsitakakoike Baobab, a specimen of the endangered species Adansonia grandidieri, which grew near Andombiro in the Ambiky Forest of south-west Madagascar. The incredibly stout and compact tree had a cylindrical trunk with a base that covered 59.6 m², a height of 14.6m and a total volume of 455 m³ - 380 m³ of which was trunk and 75 m³ of which was canopy. It partially broke and collapsed in February 2018 leaving about 40% of the tree still standing, but this was expected to also collapse soon after.

An even larger African baobab tree (A. digitata) alive during 21st Century was the Platland/Sunland Tree of Modjadjiskloof, South Africa, with a base of 67.9 m², height of 18.9m and a total wood and bark volume of 448 m³. Unfortunately, a large portion of the Platland Tree collapsed and died in 2016, leaving the Sagole Big Tree to claim the top spot.

Baobabs have among the lightest wood for any tree. Balsa wood is well known to model aeroplane makers as one of the lightest and softest woods, with a wood density that averages around 0.15 g/cm³, yet baobab wood is even lighter, averaging 0.13 g/cm³. As a result, the aboveground dry mass of the Platland baobab was estimated at only 58 tonnes and about 59 tonnes for Tsitakakoike. In terms of mass, giant gum trees (Eucalyptus) of Australia are the largest hardwood trees.
