Deaths from cardiovascular disease surged in 2021 and 2022, the Times reports. Hmmm, I wonder why. Was something new introduced into the population in 2021? It was a long time ago but I think maybe I remember something about a new medicine, or was it a vaccine, most or many Americans were forced to get in 2021 and 2022?

@WallStreetApes Being the widow of a pancreatic cancer victim, I truly grieve for the family of Ben Sasse and what is to come. But as for the man Ben Sasse, let it read on his tombstone: “I was the deciding vote that ushered in Obamacare.”

No American can afford to ignore this, because today it’s this woman but tomorrow it could be you “I am still very angry. I am numb right now. UnitedHealthcare denied my heart surgery that was scheduled for Friday. Of course they wait until the last minute to do it. There's no way to get an appeal through before then.” “This is messing with my life. It's messing with my livelihood. This is a heart surgery. This is not an elective procedure. This is not something I want to have done, but I need to have it done because it’s already causing major problems. I can't work right now, and it's getting worse. It's not getting any better. — I'm out of loss. I'm very numb and I'm very angry. For profit health insurance is the worst thing ever.” This could be any of us if we don’t get drastic reform of our health insurance industry

@SteveKettmann @MikeSilver @LowellCohn @grantcohn I remember being outraged more than a few times, which was of course his goal. (I hadn't read a lot of that East Coast provocateur-style columnizing before Lowell.) But he wasn't only that....brought tons of energy and creativity.

JUST IN: Portland Mayor Keith Wilson is issuing an ICE facility a notice for “land use violations” because they’re detaining illegals. Democrats love protecting foreign criminals over American citizens He literally sounds like an HOA Karen

NY Time's piece today about county trends in presidential elections is an excuse to share one of my favorite Oregon charts. This shows the vote % for Democratic presidential candidates by county from 1920 to 2024.

NEW at NYT: One of the clearest ways to see how Trump has transformed the political landscape is to look at what we're calling "triple trending" counties — those that have steadily marched in each party's direction in the Trump era. The results are stark. Thread...
