Abdul El-Sayed supports a single-payer, “Medicare for All” healthcare system that would cover every American “from cradle to grave.” His wife, psychiatrist Sarah Jukaku, doesn’t accept Medicare or any other insurance. She also appears to have scrubbed a portion of the “Frequently Asked Questions” page on her website making clear that she does not accept insurance, @CAndersonMO reports.

Good morning!
Today in 1949, Pope Pius XII excommunicated all communists from the Catholic Church, calling Marxism the “irreconcilable enemy” of Christianity.

France unveiled a statue of Alfred Dreyfus today to show how seriously it takes antisemitism.
Hours earlier, 300 people were evacuated after a military weapon was found in a car near a synagogue.
But the statue is lovely.

I'm pretty sure this is the first time in American politics where two Grahams died in one week.

A grammar book walks into a bar

* Hyperbole totally rips into this insane bar and absolutely destroys everything.

* A non sequitur walks into a bar.
In a strong wind, even turkeys can fly.

* A mixed metaphor walks into a bar, seeing the handwriting on the wall but hoping to nip it in the bud.

When you take a step back and see just how insane these people are, it really sinks in.

I follow politics closely but it's only been recently that I know instantaneously what AIPAC is & that's only b/c Dems starting pushing the AIPAC boogeyman so hard I looked it up. And I'm a Michigander: This might work for rabid base, but will fall flat in general election.

Ro Khanna was abused so badly that he didn’t say a word about it for four days.
English
Saying "we" have a trillionaire assumes there is a "we" who decide & controls how much money someone has. "We" as in "the government" or "the people" of the United States of America don't decide that: It is antithetical to freedom and our Constitutional Republic.

🫀Now that’s it’s been revealed that Senator Lindsey Graham died of an aortic dissection, I wanted to provide some clarity as to what it is (and isn’t).
As you see👇, the aorta is like the water main, a huge artery that sends oxygenated blood to the entire body. It’s under extreme pressure - every time the heart beats, it expands a little and has to withstand the force of blood pumping. To do this, it has to be elastic - able to bounce back after being stretched.
In some individuals with atherosclerotic disease (hardening of arteries), the inner aorta wall becomes hardened. Imagine a very old rubber band that is brittle and crumbles when you stretch it rather than stretching and bouncing back. The aorta wall crumbles slightly, allowing blood under high pressure to make its way between the inner and outer walls of the aorta.
After just a few heartbeats (insufficient time to really do much about it in many cases), the blood peels the inner and outer walls of the aorta away from one another, causing it to burst. I’ve treated a patient with it - and he didn’t make it. It’s tough to survive.
How to avoid this? Tough to detect in advance that it’ll happen. So… Eat well (including fatty fish with Omega 3’a), lower your cholesterol, keep your blood pressure normal (exercise and weight loss help a lot).
May Senator Graham rest in peace.

BREAKING: An initial examination from the DC Medical Examiner’s Office has determined that Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) died as a result of “Aortic Dissection due to Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease”. In layman’s terms, this means a tear in the aorta caused by hardening & narrowing of arteries as a result of underlying cardiovascular disease. DC Medical Examiner’s Office statement: “The death certificate will be PENDING until all the toxicological and microscopic testing are finalized and at that point the death certificate will be updated to reflect the cause of death and appropriately classify the manner of death.”

The worst part of Mamdani sabotaging the 250th Naval Parade is that none of the Pentagon press is reporting it.
They will move heaven and earth to protect a source willing to badmouth @PeteHegseth, but they won’t even talk to the dozens of sources willing to explain how Mamdani sabotaged the U.S. Navy.
And this matters because I’m one guy working for a small independent outlet with a limited budget. We don’t have a large legal department capable of defending sources. We don’t have an army of interns. We don’t have offices in New York City. We weren’t invited aboard the USS Kearsarge that day.
It’s me, my car, and a phone.
My resources severely limit my ability to disclose more than the tip of this zohrani iceberg.
The greatest sin of the old Pentagon press corps isn’t blowing tiny facts from individual leakers into massive stories, it’s ignoring the really big news stories altogether.
It’s the sin of omission.
And this isn’t the only story they have chosen to ignore. From missing two of the three Gaza pier deaths to failing to report on the five U.S. Merchant Marine ships abandoned in the Persian Gulf when the Navy left, to name just a few, they are missing major news stories.
Some of those stories would do more to damage the people the angry press corps hates than the stories they choose to report. But they don’t, because real military journalism requires real work, and it’s much easier to reprint social media gossip.
And please don’t think the “conservative media”, will cover this either. Fox News is very supportive of this administration but their Pentagon team lead by @JenGriffinFNC, is almost as bad as CNN and WAPO at manipulating gossip into headline news and they are far worse than Bloomberg and Reuters which at least attempt to uncover stories of real significance.

Mamdani closed the ferry to the main viewing area morning of the US Navy parade. He made it significantly more difficult than usual for the Navy to obtain permits. He put up barricades that misdirected crowds. He threatened to coopt a Naval event with his political rhetoric forcing the Navy to cancel. He stalked a sailor and engineered a joke to catch him laughing for his own propaganda. He used the Navy’s own safety culture against them to keep warships far from the crowds. He promised to promote events then did nothing to promote them. He did favors for local media in exchange for them underplaying the event. These are all facts from multiple sources from O5 all the way up to admirals. But they aren’t the most grievous facts, those I cannot write without official confirmation or at least a source willing to speak on background. And he did it all via numerous NYC departments and representatives as a distributed attack while claiming he himself was supporting the Navy. He is in full rebellion against the federal government, the US military and the Republic for which it stands. And worse: he’s smart and was highly effective at sabotaging the event which was originally planned to be the biggest Naval Parade in 50 years.

This is how you do it.
No “we disagreed,” “but,” etc.
You simply pay your respects and honor a man who honorably served in the military for over 30 years and was in public office to represent the people of America.
U.S. Senator John Fetterman@SenFettermanPA
Sudden and awful news about Senator Lindsey Graham. The United States Senate lost a foreign policy giant. On a personal level, he had always been kind, gracious, and thoughtful. Gisele and I extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and staff.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Planned Parenthood. For so many women, it’s the only place to turn for a mammogram, preventive screenings, reproductive health care, or contraception.
Thanks to Ruth Richardson and her team, more than 60,000 women across Minnesota and the Dakotas can access the care they need.
