Every professional organization in medicine should denounce the involvement of private equity in healthcare. They should send a clear message to their young physician members that PE is bad for hospitals, private practices, and patients. They won’t do it, but they should.

Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world. Together with our allies, we defeated the Soviet Union—an empire so evil it had to build gulags and walls to keep its own people in. Destroying America’s alliances and abandoning the cause of freedom is morally and strategically indefensible. Putin will pocket Trump’s naive concessions and demand much more. Appeasement makes a wider war more likely, not less. @realDonaldTrump, @JDVance, and @elonmusk have made clear who they are. Only fools—or Kremlin tools—would abandon NATO, side with Russia, and demand Ukraine surrender in the face of Putin’s brutal aggression.

What’s the difference between Trump’s cabinet and a cactus? With a cactus, all the pricks are on the outside. Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitress.

BREAKING: Trump appears to be suggesting that he intends to investigate federal judges who rule against him. What kind of governments engage in such actions? Authoritarian regimes. What type of leaders disregard the separation of powers? Dictators. And who tends to blame judges? The guilty.

.@JDVance -If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.
If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal. Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.

Oh, so when J.D. Vance was grandstanding in a grocery store about $4 eggs under Kamala Harris, it was a national crisis—but now that eggs are hitting $15 under Trump and Vance, suddenly it’s crickets? Where’s the viral outrage video now, J.D.? Where’s the finger-pointing, the moral panic, the grand speech on America’s decline? Funny how the talking points disappear when you’re the one in power. The truth? Egg prices aren’t about political theater, they’re about policy failures—supply chain issues, corporate price-gouging, and an unchecked avian flu outbreak that’s been wrecking production for years. But sure, let’s pretend this is just another “win” for America under Trump 2.0. Pay attention to the hypocrisy. Because if $4 eggs were a crisis, what the hell do you call $15 eggs?

BREAKING: President Trump has just revoked the security clearances of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. These actions are unprecedented in a democracy. This is not about national security—it’s a calculated move of political retribution and obstruction. By targeting officials involved in investigations and foreign policy, Trump is undermining the rule of law and putting America’s security at risk.

Damn right, @Elon. I’m proud of what America did to win the Cold War, defeat Soviet communism, and defend democracy. Our nation stood for freedom. You may be unfamiliar with that part of our history since you weren’t yet an American citizen.

Adolf Hitler, a CONVICTED FELON, rose to power as Chancellor of Germany in 1933. He cleverly positioned himself as the voice of the “common man,” railing against the elites and the establishment. To solidify his base, Hitler masterfully scapegoated minorities for the nation’s problems, exploiting societal divisions with an “us vs. them” narrative. It’s almost as if dividing people and stoking anger can serve a political agenda—who would’ve guessed? Once in power, he wasted no time dismantling democratic institutions. Loyalty wasn’t just encouraged; it was demanded. Opponents? Silenced. Media that dared to question him? Vilified as “the enemy,” naturally. But hey, history is just history, right? It’s not like anyone would fall for something like that again.

This is an impeachable offense.
This is absolutely insane. Donald Trump suggests he will only provide aid to California if they pass a voter ID law. Then he said he’ll put no conditions on North Carolina, a state that voted for him. What a petty, evil man.

Candidate Trump promised to lower grocery prices, but now it seems he isn't even going to try. While champagne corks pop at Mar-a-Lago, President-elect Trump says that he can't really lower grocery prices because it's "very hard." Sad. It’s the start of a broken promise.
Replying to @VeraMBergen
Trump in September 2024: “Vote Trump and grocery prices will come tumbling down.” Trump in December 2024: “It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard.” time.com/7201565/person-of-t…
