The @nytimes lets the CEO of UnitedHealth write a straight-up corporate propaganda / PR piece defending their company, falsely claiming they believe in fixing the healthcare system. I assume they'll let Mangione write a rebuttal, or else they don't believe in viewpoint diversity.

And Soto sweepstakes ends with Mets signing him to a massive contract. I don’t know the Yankees exact offer, but they considered it very competitive. Within the last few hours, the Yanks grew pessimistic about getting Soto. Now they move on to Plan B. Heyman & Passan w/ the news.
Breaking: Juan Soto to the Mets. $765M. 15 years.

There’s Heyman with the very competitive offer I referenced: $760M across 16 years. About an hour ago, one Yankee source said the team had made its final offer. In the end, Soto took the highest offer & chose the Mets.
Yankees bid $760M for 16 years. Soto is a Met.

BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, Donald Trump just said he will deport U.S. citizens who have undocumented parents. This is Trump’s veiled way of saying he’s going after Dreamers.

A key factor in Daniel Jones signing with the #Vikings was his relationship with HC Kevin O’Connell, which actually dates back to the pre-draft process. I’m told the two maintained positive communication over the past few days, with KOC believing not only in Jones’ talent, but also that Minnesota is the perfect place to reinvigorate his career.
BREAKING: Former #Giants QB Daniel Jones is signing with the #Vikings, sources tell @NFLonFOX. Jones had several options, but prioritized a team in contention with a QB-friendly offensive system and a coaching staff known for maximizing player potential.

When the owner of this website, the richest man in the world, the most followed-man on Twitter, constantly, daily, hourly, posts again and again to tens of millions of followers that the media lies, that the media can’t be trusted, that all media is corrupt and dishonest, you don’t think that has a massive effect not just on trust and polarization in society, but on election outcomes and political messaging? Especially when it comes after years of Donald Trump doing the exact same thing? If Dems, and liberals in general, don’t understand the way in which Musk, Trump and co have cynically created an unpenetrable bubble around their followers, primed them against a reality-based universe, pre-emptively undermined any negative stories about themselves, then Dems and liberals will never be able to ‘win’ - in terms of narratives or elections. It’s key to everything. It’s at the heart of everything.

.@Steward executives—including Dr. Ralph de la Torre—worked with private equity and Medical Properties to gut Massachusetts hospitals. And they did it all for profit. They should not continue leading health care companies like Revere Medical or CareMax.

This organization is funded by the Scaifes (sourcewatch.org/index.php/Na…), plutocrats who were rightly characterized by Hillary Clinton two decades ago as key players in a "vast right wing conspiracy" -- an *actual* conspiracy that has now resulted in a second Trump/Putin term.
