With the cuts to Medicare and Medicaid looming, nursing homes that stay open may not be humane.
“Opinion: Nursing homes may start sedating your elderly parents — and, eventually, you”
Monarchists and magnates, sticking it to us on things like healthcare, automation and AI; it’s all connected.
No kings means rejecting automated monarchist systems.
We are always being targeted with oppositional propaganda to bring us over to the dark side.
Sometimes it’s people who are mistaken for liberals who spread right-wing propaganda to the people who mistake them for liberal.
Where are all the doctors who could be informing their patients? And where are the hospital lobbyists?
We know there’s tons of lobbyists working on the behalf of big healthcare corporations. Yet they seem to have let this healthcare industry destroying big boondoggle bill succeed. What happened?
JD Vance visited Northeastern Pennsylvania and Action Together NEPA & others were there to protest.
Side note: I tried reading “Hillbilly Elegy” after the election just to inform myself, and I just abandoned the effort after JD Vance left Pennsylvania out of his list of Appalachian states. Protesters rally in West Pittston against Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” Story by Hannah Poggi Enraged by the bill, protesters shared their reasons […]
The US needs migrant farm workers not because Americans are lazy, but because Americans are privileged.
I wish people (on the left) would stop saying that “immigrants do jobs Americans don’t want” because that just really plays into the right-wing frame of “lazy people don’t wanna work”.
The temporary disability issue nobody talks about when they talk about work requirements and means testing.
Temporary health conditions do not necessarily qualify as “disabled” under the Medicaid rules.
“Get over it” typically means “Shut up and go away because I don’t care.”
Mitch Mcconnell literally said people would “get over” losing Medicaid. I don’t think that’s true.
Out of touch Republican in Tennessee blames outsiders with nose rings for unpopularity of Trump & Musk policies.
I don’t live in Tennessee, but I live smack dab in Appalachia and I’ve had my nose pierced for 35 years.

Can we please end loser leftism and extol the public good?
Stop thinking “if only we could convince people” of something, that things would change. Just stop that. It’s not about explaining.
Rob Bresnahan is being called on the carpet by constituents on Medicaid vote.
I sent him a postcard with a jellyfish, and I have more jellyfish postcards reserved just for him.

I listened to the whole thing in case you can’t or don’t want to. (Voila, you can thank me later!)
Jellyfish Rob Bresnahan folds like a cheap lawn chair and breaks promise to not cut Medicaid.
My representative in Congress, Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R, PA-08), had promised not to vote for cuts to Medicaid, and was quoted saying, “If a bill is put in front of me that guts the benefits my neighbors rely on, I will not vote for it.” And yet, he voted for the bill that mathematically would have to cut Medicaid.
Steve Bannon to the left of NPR on Medicaid cuts.
Medicaid funding is a foundation of a great deal of Northeastern Pennsylvania, but we can’t be complacent that our politicians won’t take marching orders from tycoons like Elon Musk. More uninsured people racking up medical debt they can never ever pay off never made anything better in America for those people or anyone else. NPR […]
Trump administration attempts to impound appropriations under the responsibility of Congress.
The odd memo out of the White House that started freezing access to Medicaid portals and threatened to shut down daycares is some pretty wild overreach…
Bizarre RFKJR confirmation hearing.
RFKJr is a terrible anti-vaxxer. But there are so many other problems as well with him taking over the entirety of the federal healthcare in the US. The threat can’t be overstated.
Dr. Oz has a long history of promoting things that turn out to be dubious.
Dr. Oz is a loser who has no place running an agency in the federal government…
Neera Tanden’s missteps and the disability justice information space.
A reputation that was never that great. Neera Tanden has been accused of Hatch Act violations while working at the White House. This embarrassment is not unexpected sadly. Government Executive – Senior White House official violated the Hatch Act, OSC says A filing with the Merit Systems Protection Board alleges that Biden’s domestic policy advisor […]
Trump said he wants to let RFK Jr. “go wild on” health, food, and medicines.
RFK Jr. is an anti-vaxxer who promoted an anti-vaxxer in Samoa…
