A co-worker of mine recently had a heart issue and ended up needing to go to the hospital in an ambulance. He was admitted and required to stay in the hospital overnight. That ambulance and overnight stay cost over $100K. Even with insurance, his out-of-pocket cost was still thousands of dollars. He's gainfully employed and has a decent insurance plan. How does the average American who can't afford healthcare and who has an emergency situation ever recover from the financial burden of trying to save their own life? The "fraud" in healthcare isn't from immigrants. It's the insurance companies who are commoditizing healthcare to the point of unattainability or financial ruin for the average American.

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them. That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving. You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.

The greatest trick in modern politics wasn’t making people choose sides. It was convincing exhausted, overworked, underpaid people that their enemy is the person next door instead of the problems right in front of them. Keep us arguing over pronouns, personalities, and culture-war headlines while groceries rise, debt grows, wars continue, and trust collapses. The joke was never on the left or the right. The joke was on all of us.

There are no checks and balances. Even after the fake harrumph about the blatantly illegal president slush fund, the senate kept it in. And also a blank 70 billion dollar check to an unrestrained militarized immigration scam complex. There are no checks and balances. None

Nick Bilton walked into the 60 Minutes newsroom four days after Bari Weiss fired the people who built the show. He tried to pretend he didn't know about the firings. Scott Pelley, in front of the remaining staff, would not let that stand. "She loves 60 Minutes," Bilton said. "She's murdering 60 Minutes," Pelley said back. "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it - and she's doing exactly that." One of Weiss's lieutenants kept interrupting to say Pelley was being rude. Pelley kept going. JVL's framing is the right one. The corrupter depends on the existing institution being too polite to say the obvious thing out loud. Christopher Wray resigned quietly to "preserve the integrity of the FBI." John Kelly gave print interviews after he left. Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell, Jim Mattis, Bill Barr - all of them saw it. All of them objected privately. None of them said it in the room where it was happening, to the person doing it, while the cameras were still running. Pelley said it in the room. To the person's face. In front of witnesses. While he still worked there. That is a different thing entirely. Not a memoir. Not an anonymous source in a tell-all. Not a carefully worded statement issued after the resignation letter was already filed. The true thing, said out loud, to the people who needed to hear it, at the moment it could still matter. Authoritarianism counts on politesse. It counts on people deciding the fight isn't worth the awkwardness, the career risk, the label of being difficult. Scott Pelley decided it was worth it. The republic needs more of that calculation to come out the same way.

"People sometimes ask me why I’m so hung up on Bari Weiss and the answer is that it’s because her project is essentially the same as Donald Trump’s project." Scott Pelley gets it, too. Today's Triad from JVL (link in reply):

Things most Americans agree on: Groceries cost too much. Tariffs suck and make no sense. Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks. The debt is a mess. The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good. Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained. Americans are exhausted. AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you. Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF. Canadians are super fucking cool. Mexicans are chill. Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies. Good neighbors are a blessing. Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea. We all question, are we alone in the universe? We all fuck up along the way. Epstein didn’t hang himself. The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day. The Cowboys suck. Go Birds! Things we’re told to fight about: Me. Laptop. Vaccines. Transgenders in sports. Pronouns. That’s the joke.

@jacquie_rn Plus he apparently doesn’t sleep much (if at all) at night, which adds to the unhealthy repercussions. Sleepless people are sleepy during the day. It is known.
