wine moms that look like they're from a black and white 50s movie lined up shooting pistols at target practice. The poster's caption is "Arm the wine moms" and the reply poster refers to them as "Chardinnistas, " a play off the white wine Chardonnay.

This is a pretty good article that summarizes the plagued history of the ACA www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/...

One of the main messages of The Ten Year War, Jonathan Cohn’s excellent history of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), appears in the final chapter: “The Affordable Care Act is a highly flawed, distressingly compromised, woefully incomplete attempt to establish a basic right that already exists in every other developed nation. It is also the most ambitious and significant piece of domestic legislation to pass in half a century—a big step in the direction of a more perfect union and a more humane one as well.”

Cohn’s other key message, stated more succinctly in a March 22, 2021, article in the Atlantic (adapted from the book), is that the ACA became law because the Democrats were willing to do the hard work of compromising and turning policy into legislation. It was not repealed because the Republicans were unwilling or unable to do this work.

You certainly can't call it informed, but Trump voters definitely knew what they were voting for.

Oh yeah, famously no mission creep in wars. Sheesh WaPo. All your board editorials are stinkers these days. How far the mighty have fallen. You may as well call your OpEd page, "Well, akTuaLly..."

Washington Post Editorial headline: In defense of the War Department.
Subtitle: Euphemisms such as 'defense' and 'security' have a tendency for bureaucratic mission-creep.

from George Conway - I wish I could retweet this a million times:
David Jolly says:
For context, roughly 25% of our total national debt incurred over the last 230 years actually occurred during the 4 years of the Trump administration. That's right. 25% of our entire national debt, all during the Trump years.

It's exactly what they thought they were voting for. The cruelty is the point.

"When John McCain Took the mic away from the woman lying about Obama, and came to Obama's defense, that was the best of American politics. There is not a single Republican member of Congress who will take the mic from Trump. That's the worst of American politics." - Glenn Kirschner

Great #NoKings rally in Philly yesterday - great turn out. Check out @50501philadelphia.bsky.social for the signs. Especially liked this one:

"Jawn or Die" sign with segmented snake. A play on the Philly word jawn instead of join.

I'm sure he'll handle this really well.

Lost my job providing aid to America's neediest; Please Help! Lost my job protecting our national parks, etc.

Epitaph On A Tyrant
Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after,
And the poetry he invented was easy to understand;
He knew human folly like the back of his hand,
And was greatly interested in armies and fleets;
When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter,
And when he cried the little children died in the streets.

W. H. Auden

From Max Kennerly: "A notable aspect of private health insurance is the absence of any reason for it to exist. It does not contain costs, expand coverage, or expedite care -- it makes those all worse. Its sole function is to profit as a rent-seeking middleman between patients and providers."
