"You simply cannot cover Trump’s second term accurately and responsibly if you are not willing to situate his acts as part of a terrifying descent into authoritarianism, racism, and cruelty.

And the mainstream political media – for a variety of reasons -- is not willing to do anything of the kind."

#Trump wants #Jordan and #Egypt to accept more #Palestinian #refugees and floats plan to 'clean out' #Gaza.

The message I get is that Gaza is prime real estate, and Palestinians are in the way. Move them out. Let’s make a deal… $$$ #grift, #greed, #corruption.

Insurance companies are fighting to keep us distracted so that they can steal from us. They argue that healthcare is "complex." If there were profits to be make from simplifying healthcare costs, health insurance companies would simplify them. But there is far to much money to be made by declaring they are "victims" of a complex system. Folks, complexity is far easier to exploit than simplicity. Insurance companies will continue to clamor for complexity because their grift depends upon it. #unitedhealthcare #greed #grift #fraud

"Reform UK is not a political party in the same way that Labour, the Lib Dems, and even the Tories are. It is a limited company, and as a visit to Companies’ House confirms, those with “significant control” are Farage and his deputy Richard Tice (he’s not very nice). You pays your membership fee and you takes … no control whatsoever. No vote. Nothing."
