An unfortunate turn of events led me to become a patient at Memorial Sloan Kettering (I'm doing great! get your colonoscopies), and whenever I interact with them it's an absolute marvel of care, ease + efficiency. I always walk away thinking, "Why can't every healthcare organization work like this?"
Every time u have to make a doctor appointment for anything I am reminded of how broken US healthcare is. We really should stop tolerating this. It’s so terrible! And why?

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Our system of government grants Congress the power to impeach the president if that person has gone off the rails. They just need to do their job.
I saw my own brother radicalized by YouTube, did a small experiment myself, five clicks from cat video to conspiracy paranoia.
I'm a liberal woman and so are almost all my friends. We all took our husband's last names because that's what you did 37 years ago. The SAVE act is about voter suppression for all women.
Republicans are giddy about the SAVE Act that prevents women from voting if married name is not same on voter rolls & ID.
Trump is all for it cause it’ll suppress Voters.
For the past 30 years Repubs have used all kinds of Voting scams- while Dems fight for every eligible person to vote.
Republicans are in Charge, but they obey Trump - against the
Best interests of their Constituents!😖
Our Supreme Court needs an overhaul, the constitution needs an update, our legal system needs to treat the rich just like it treats the poor, and we need to stop making millionaires out of members of congress - they get their salary ONLY and no stock trading whatsoever.
Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.
Research shows that when women lead, democracies become more stable and resilient. 🌍
Sustainable democracy depends on women having a seat at the table to lead the charge for justice. Today, we honor the women making these gains a reality. 🤝

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime
"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."
We’re in an unwanted war in an age of seemingly limitless information, yet it’s safe to say the average American has no possible reliable clue what’s going on over there cuz our government that would share any information is wholly untrustworthy, staffed w/ liars lying for a pathological liar POTUS.
Reading comprehension is extremely low in the US. It is frightening. The attention span is even worse.
Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the “SAVE AMERICA” act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to “save America”.
It would be nice to deport him & his family since he has done it to so many people including people who have been born in this country.
I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...
...maybe there wasn't much planning?
As the U.S. economy begins to collapse, never forget that both J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio wholeheartedly supported Trump’s disastrous Iran war fiasco.

* ZELENSKIY SAYS UKRAINE RECEIVED 11 REQUESTS FROM COUNTRIES NEIGHBORING IRAN, EUROPEAN STATES, AND U.S.
Hmmm…Trump is soooo adamant about the need to pass that voter ID law…could it be that he knows exactly how he got all those votes to put him over the top in his elections? Remember…every accusation is an admission of guilt!
Some great news.
We lost one whole hour of this nightmare of a presidency this weekend.
So there is that.
