'Today's anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid reminds us to reflect on the critical role these programs have played to protect the healthcare of millions of families. To safeguard our future, we must reject Socialist healthcare schemes.' - Elise Stefanik, chair of the US House Republican Conference.
Who wants to tell her?
edit: This is AOC's absolutely killer response to the above:
'Totally agree. In fact, to further protect Medicare from socialism, let's strengthen it to include dental, vision, hearing, and mental healthcare, and then allow all Americans to enjoy its benefits. Trust me - Medicare For All is the #1 thing you can do to own the socialists.'

Do I ‘like’ Dolly Parton? Put it this way - if Jeff Bezos were to become an actual supervillain with legitimate super powers, Dolly is the superhero I’d choose to put him down.

It's about time someone said it.
Maricopa County Tells Arizona Senate To Get Stuffed
Quote:In a defiant letter sent Monday in response to the state Senate's request, county Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers wrote: "If you haven't figured out the election in Maricopa County was free, fair and accurate yet, I'm sure you never will. The reason you haven't finished your 'audit' is because you hired people who have no experience and little understanding of how professional elections are run."
"The Board has real work to do and little time to entertain this adventure in never-never land. Please finish whatever it is that you are doing and release whatever it is you are going to release," he added. "There was no fraud, there wasn't an injection of ballots from Asia nor was there a satellite that beamed votes into our election equipment."
The letter concluded with a pointed: "Release your report and be prepared to defend any accusations of misdeeds in court. It's time to move on."

As a person, from what I see of Dolly Parton, there's an awful lot to like. I wouldn't listen to her music if you paid me big money, but I'd gladly sit down and buy her a few of her favourite drinks for a chat.

US swimmer Caeleb Dressel defends Simone Biles' decision: 'Just leave her alone'
today.com
Quote:Caeleb Dressel and Simone Biles have been two of the most talked about members of Team USA during the Tokyo Olympics — for drastically different reasons.
Dressel, who entered the Games as a two-time Olympic gold medalist that many saw as a potential successor to Michael Phelps, became a standout star as he picked up five more gold medals in Tokyo. While Biles, the most decorated American gymnast ever, shocked the world by withdrawing from every event final except Tuesday's balance beam.
Dressel shared his take on the situation with Craig Melvin on TODAY Monday.
“I don't know what is considered too much,” he said of the mental load athletes carry during the games. “Every individual is different. That's why I'm not going to speak on anyone else's behalf. That's why I'm OK with this call that Simone did. No one else's opinion matters, because they're not the one that's in her situation.”
