@robbysoave They are a minuscule slice of total health care costs and thousands of variables complicate any concrete and systemwide declaration of their value. “Threat” to affordability is more than a little simplistic.
The Epstein case never got the attention it deserved because of his close friendships with so many powerful people from almost every political faction & elite circle: those who flew on his planes, went to his "parties," etc. Huge kudos to @MiamiHerald https://t.co/fqs2N8gDxR
It's long been clear that the Jeffrey Epstein case protected numerous powerful people, involved high-level prosecutorial abuse, and shielded child trafficking. But this outstanding exposé is stunning and shocking. Please read it:
What has happened to ACLU is one of the saddest developments of the Trump era. But there are already groups - such as @TheFIREorg - emerging to replace it as an actual civil liberties group which defends rights regardless of partisan outcomes. Also still great ACLU lawyers remain
If you donate money to the ACLU, you are actively promoting the erosion of civil liberties. I used to be a monthly donor in their "guardian of liberty" program. I will never give this organization another dime.
The ACLU still does some great work. But damn is it ever disappointing to see this organization, with all its history, use the phrase “inappropriately favoring the accused.” https://t.co/kDwLJN884Y
@kcjohnson9 Or simply the brightest of spotlights exposing again the intellectual bankruptcy, pathological aversion to basic fairness, insular thoughtlessness, and pitiable addiction to attention common to each member of an institution already so debased it is largely undisgracable.
There is no universe that exists under which all the MAGA-folks wouldn’t be calling for Hillary’s impeachment or resignation under similar facts. So take that into account when you read their defenses.
Wish certain officials in Broward County were even half as concerned about their horrific screw-ups and incompetence as they seem to be about hiding it from the public.
@AlexNelsonn18 @ScottGreenfield@kcjohnson9@sarahjeong Take her call to simply ban @EmilyYoffe for her reporting. That is a disregard for the underlying facts that is not due to @sarahjeong’s age or immaturity. While it may be far to common a problem on Twitter, it’s not generational.
Chuck Todd was a working adult journalist during the Iraq War. To *still* have zero awareness of the media’s role in “causing” that fiasco is a mark of true delusion https://t.co/vGzMF8cVij
