@ph43701 @davepl1968 Not just small towns. I go to Cleveland Clinic and there are many immigrant and next generation doctors.

@davepl1968 'doctor speaks English and went to school somewhere you've heard of.' I see 3 specialists. One is Paki, one is Indian, 1 American, 1 went to a US school.
Your quote is not a reality in the USA. The number of foreign Doctors in the small towns of US is about 7 out of 10.

Allow me to rock your world.
America has about 6000 hospitals. 5121 of those are publicly accessible and 1224 are completely free. That's twice as many charity hospitals as Canada has Tim Horton's. Literally.
Then, when you see a doctor, the doctor speaks English and went to school somewhere you've heard of. Harvard is not the only way to get educated, but it is nice in the fall.
We don't push people into medically assisted suicide for cost reasons.
We don't ask people with emergency conditions to sit in the ER for 10 hours before they see a doctor.
So yes, if you have a cutting-edge disease and you go to a private hospital and get the best care in the world, you're on the hook for it.
But note that you are also ALIVE.

People say Canadian healthcare is not free, because we pay taxes for it. But in America, people pay taxes and still have to pay for healthcare out of their pockets. And if they are broke, the hospital tells them to go die.

Counterpoint:
VT and DT are not gerrymanders, because they only have one district each.
ME has a Trump +9 district; Republicans just aren't winning it.
MA and NH maps were signed by GOP governors. (NH has two winnable seats for GOP in a good year.)
MA, RI and HI are all difficult to drawn any GOP-leaning districts in, because of how the population is distributed.
The only one of these with less than a "B" rating from the Princeton Gerrymandering Project is NM.

Melania senior adviser Marc Beckman: "Kimmel needs to go. It's time that ABC stands up and terminates his employment. This isn't a freedom of speech issue. The issue is purely commercial in nature. He enters the homes of Americans every night, 50% of them don't agree with his perspective, but yet ABC stands behind him."

🚨 NOW: King Charles has a PRESIDENTIAL-level motorcade rolling through DC right now
We now have an ACTUAL king on our soil, but there are NO SIGNS of any "No Kings" protests anywhere in the nation right now.
Interesting how that works!

@AriFleischer STFU Ari! Everyone knows that Trump is the most decisive President ever, and he does it on purpose!

This is another example showing how Barack Obama is one of the most divisive figures in American politics today. So many of our divisions were caused by the smug, demeaning and narrow-minded way he treats his opponents.
Here, he pretends to not know the truth about the would-be assassin, although the facts of his left wing views were public hours before Obama’s tweet. It’s classic Obama - pretend to be conciliatory while he is the one who creates the divide.
You would hope that Obama would condemn the left after the left tries to kill a President.
But that’s too much to ask.
Once again, Obama proves himself to be a classless divider of our country.

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

@AMurphy83428 @WalshFreedom A presidential mandatory retirement age might have.
English
@WalshFreedom He wasn't elected by a system, he was elected by voters. 77 million individuals walked into a voting booth and picked Trump. The blue team didn't offer an option that was seen as better by enough swing voters. No systemic adjustment would have changed this.
English
Only a very broken & very divided country could elect someone like Trump. Only a very broken political system in need of dramatic reform could elect someone like Trump. Bcuz the truth has always been this: Trump is not the cause of how broken & divided we are, he’s the symptom. The horrible, ugly symptom.

@SenMarkKelly Why is there a growing gap in operating costs between US flag ships and foreign flag ships?
English
The numbers don't lie. America has fallen way behind on shipping and shipbuilding. My SHIPS for America Act is how we take back our maritime leadership and create thousands great-paying jobs across the country. 🚢

@HFullutent @alaynatreene They both lie all the time. Trump’s own lawyer called him the biggest liar in the history of the world!

@ewhite3222 @alaynatreene & how did you reach this conclusion?

New: VP JD Vance is currently expected to depart Washington on Tuesday to travel to Pakistan to take part in the latest round of talks with Iran, people familiar with the plans tell me
A second round of talks between the US and Iranian delegations are currently planned for Wednesday in Islamabad, they said, but noted that the situation remains fluid due to continued heated public rhetoric by both the US and Iranians.
The White House told CNN there is no formal word on timing, but “we expect the delegation to be on the road soon but unclear when.”
Trump told the New York Post in a phone interview this morning that the delegation was “heading over now” to Pakistan and would “be there tonight.” But those comments appeared to be premature.
English
@HFullutent @alaynatreene Who is more truthful, the US administration or the Iranian government?
English
@alaynatreene Someone isn't telling the truth... Iran said there are no peace talks because the arrogant ignorant Trump talks & lies too much. Market manipulation is all he and American media has at this point
English
@Tommywildfire1 @IRanMediaco Both sides are fighting to be the most dishonest. Trump wins every time. His own lawyer called him the biggest liar in the history of the world.

@IRanMediaco So every time Iran makes a deal , they renig in some way. This shows nothing they say can be trusted and after being the Main source of terrorism for the world the last 47 years, it would be wise to rid the world of this cancer.
