Here is some reporting on a new study by highly respected epidemiologists from highly respected universities and published in the world’s leading peer-reviewed medical journal. The finding . . .

Medicare-for-all funded by a progressive tax system would result in 68,000 fewer deaths, lower overall healthcare spending by $450 billion and save the typical family $2,400. Every year. These findings are not surprising in the least. Virtually every developed country – other than our own – enjoys such benefits from their Single Payer health finance systems.

The wrong way to handle Russian meddling.

For those without access to the Washington Post here is the takeaway . . .

“But, of course, in this administration, good men and women don’t last long. Joe was dismissed for doing his job: overseeing the dissemination of intelligence to elected officials who needed that information to do their jobs.

As Americans, we should be frightened — deeply afraid for the future of the nation. When good men and women can’t speak the truth, when facts are inconvenient, when integrity and character no longer matter, when presidential ego and self-preservation are more important than national security — then there is nothing left to stop the triumph of evil.”
