The payment of health care expenses in America is fragmented and inefficient. Administrative costs are high adding to the problem. Health care providers, hospitals and pharma are greedy and they are not cost regulated. All Americans in one pool would be the better option. Reform!

Interior has reassigned ~30 of its most senior career staffers.
Among those losing their longtime positions? The woman who directed the National Wildlife Refuge System for the last 10 years, and the man who ran the migratory bird program for the last 15. notus.org/agencies/interior-…

The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million.
That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.

Why do some people have such a hard time accepting the immense good and millions of lives saved by vaccines over the decades?
Why?
What hurts them so much about that fact?

Hm I wonder if any recent books delved into the insane amount of drug use, especially cocaine, in the most elite tiers of the US military? I wonder if any new paperbacks out now can help me understand the rock star lifestyle these guys are living as they drop bombs on Iran?

I helped pass this law in 2020. It's purpose is to prevent drug traffickers, Russian & Chinese kleptocrats, and other international criminals from setting up anonymously owned companies to hide their money in the US. Trump's Treasury Dept. is doing this to help criminals. 1/
Today, @FinCENnews issued a final rule that permanently removes the requirement for U.S. companies and U.S. persons to report beneficial ownership information. FinCEN today also announced that it will delete previously reported information by U.S. persons from the beneficial ownership information database.

This will find its way to court. It will be struck down.
But the deletion of data currently available to law enforcement may be irreversible.
It's one of the most lawless and corrupt things this administration has done, and that's saying a lot.

There are zero Flock cameras in Manhattan’s wealthiest neighborhood
Flock cameras for thee but not for me? I guess the rich don't want to be monitored like common criminals by their government.
Are you mad yet?!

My office has been in contact with the woman who recorded this video of an ICE agent drawing a gun on her. She is a Northern Virginia native and a mother.
While I am relieved that she is safe, the habitual dishonesty and dangerous and unjustified escalation seen in this video matches what we have seen from ICE agents across the country.
This kind of misconduct and threat of force against members of our communities cannot be tolerated.
I will be demanding answers and consequences.
