AlterNet Crooks and Liars Daily Kos (Note: these articles are from RSS News Feeds websites, and are deleted after 30 days, December 31, 2024 at 1:23 PM EST Mehmet Oz, widely recognized as television's "Dr. Oz" and President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to head Medicare and Medicaid, has sparked controversy over resurfaced remarks from a 2013 speech, where he addressed the balance between personal and governmental responsibility for the uninsured. Dr. Oz told members of the National Governors' Association (video below) that uninsured Americans "don't have the right to health," but should be given "a way of crawling back out of the abyss of darkness of fear over not having the health they need." That, he suggested, could come via physicals in a "festival-like setting." December 31, 2024 at 1:10 PM EST Jamie Holmes says a surgery center tried to make her pay for two operations after she underwent only one. She refused to buckle, even after a collection agency sued her last winter. Holmes, who lives in northwestern Washington state, had surgery in 2019 to have her fallopian tubes tied, a permanent birth-control procedure that her insurance company agreed ahead of time to cover. December 31, 2024 at 11:22 AM EST After defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the United States' 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump quickly doubled down on his promise of mass deportations. The deportations, according to the president-elect, will get underway as soon as he is sworn in for a second term as president. Many economists, including former New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, have been warning that mass deportations could have a negative economic impact. Krugman has warned that "across-the-board tariffs and mass deportation of undocumented immigrants" will "probably cause soaring inflation" -- including significantly higher prices for groceries. December 31, 2024 at 10:32 AM EST During the 2024 presidential race, many supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris -- from lifelong Democrats to right-wing Never Trump conservatives -- argued that Ukraine would be much better off if she won, as Donald Trump has been highly critical of the Biden Administration's aggressive support for military aid to that country. President-elect Trump, however, defeated Democratic nominee Harris. And his pick for national intelligence director, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (an ex-Democratic turned MAGA Republican), has been an outspoken defender of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Gabbard's comments, critics say, have been so pro-Kremlin that state-operated Russian media outlets have dubbed her "Russia's girlfriend." December 31, 2024 at 10:02 AM EST For veteran Jennifer Hunt, the recent rehashing of women's ability to serve in combat has been a distraction from the profound issues the Department of Defense has to deal with. "It's research, development, acquisition, the strategy of countering China and the pivot towards Asia," said Hunt, a resident of Clarksburg. "It does a disservice to how important this job is to talk about this one narrow role." December 31, 2024 at 9:29 AM EST "Those who control the present, control the past; and those who control the past control the future." --George Orwell, 1984 December 31, 2024 at 9:13 AM EST A pollster this week winced at his own survey's results when it comes to the policies supporters of President-elect Donald Trump support when it comes to dealing with undocumented immigrants. As Axios reports, a new poll from the Public Religion Research Institute shows that 46 percent of Republican voters support using the United States military to round up immigrants and put them into camps. December 30, 2024 at 11:45 PM EST Former United States President Jimmy Carter -- who passed away on Sunday, December 29 at the age of 100 -- was a devout Christian and follower of Jesus Christ. Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons, who serves as senior director of policy and advocacy at Interfaith Alliance, argues in an op-ed published by MSNBC, "It'd be difficult to find a starker difference in how a president wields religion than the juxtaposition of Jimmy Carter and President-elect Donald Trump." December 30, 2024 at 11:00 PM EST A former CNN anchor unleashed a profanity-laced tirade on his podcast while talking about a rift that has grown in MAGA world between the right-wing tech crowd of Silicon Valley and President-elect Donald Trump's base. Don Lemon, who worked at CNN for nearly a decade until leaving in 2023, launched his rant on his YouTube channel on Friday as he cackled at the brouhaha that unfolded. December 30, 2024 at 10:15 PM EST One of Donald Trump's widely known campaign messages -- for years -- has been that crime in the United States is out of control, and that he can do something to fix it. Just over one month since the president-elect defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, "Crime, especially homicide, is down dramatically from the spike that occurred during the worst of the pandemic in 2020," journalist and author Paul Waldman notes in a Monday op-ed published by MSNBC. December 30, 2024 at 9:30 PM EST President-elect Donald Trump's long-held promise to pardon his supporters who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol is drawing fresh scrutiny from a government ethics group. The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, issued a terse statement Monday calling out Trump and his repeated signals that he is willing to grant clemency to those who breached the Capitol as Congress worked to certify Joe Biden's 2020 election win. December 30, 2024 at 8:45 PM EST As House Speaker Mike Johnson faces pushback from a group of his fellow GOP lawmakers, and threats of an ouster on January 2, "one thing" is saving the congressional leader in the meantime. Vanity Fair special correspondent and MSNBC political analyst Molly Jong Fast submitted on Monday that Democrats are the reason Johnson is able to stay afloat after negotiating with the opposing party to keep the government open. |
