Oprah should be ridiculed for the remainder of her life for fostering this shithead on us all.
Dr Oz: "There are 5 times more people in parts of Obamacare in Florida than live in the state. It's impossible More than a third of people on Obamacare have never used the insurance policy once. If you were gonna pay your hard-earned money to buy insurance, would you ever use it? The answer is yes"

1. Regular readers know I used to talk a lot about conservatism, fascism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism – all those multi-syllabic schools of thought that attempt to explain politics in America today. But I don't talk about them in depth these days. I have come to a conclusion.

That @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social doesn't understand why this is problematic is indicative of why he should not ever be Speaker.
Jeffries on meeting with Jared Kushner: "He asked for a meeting. I took it. Nothing more, nothing less. We had conversations largely focused on, from my perspective, the affordability crisis."

North Dakota's legislature meets every two years and they spent the last session pushing a bunch of anti-trans legislation while mostly ignoring things their constituents have been asking for.
Color me unsurprised they're mad that their citizens had enough.

Republicans in both South Dakota and North Dakota have been frustrated by recent citizen-led initiatives that have managed to bypass the state legislatures. They’re now pushing to raise the threshold for ballot measures in both states.
"Disrespectful for Voters": The Dakotas Weigh Raising the Bar for Direct Democracy - Bolts
Frustrated that voters are bypassing the legislatures they control, the GOP is pushing two ballot measures this fall in North Dakota and South Dakota to require a supermajority to amend the state constitutions.

Hakeem Jeffries cannot become speaker in 2027. It would be a colossal waste of power and opportunity for Dems to elevate him again.
They need to choose someone stronger and preferably isn’t to the right of the vast majority of American voters on healthcare.
