🇫🇷 LFI kündigt politische „Säuberungen“ an.
Da wird M. le Préfet, Julien Charles, wohl bald mal Gendarmerie und Police nationale nach Saint Denis senden müssen.
Ich kann mir nicht gut vorstellen, daß der französische Zentralstaat politische Säuberungen unter seinen Beamten erst auf dem ordentlichen Rechtswege klären lassen wird.

Ulmen soll also über zwei Plattformen mit Klarnamenpflicht (LinkedIn, Xing) gar keine DeepFake-Videos von Fernandes verbreitet haben. Das dient jetzt als Basis für die politische Forderung nach Klarnamenpflicht und Deep-Fake-Verbot. Absolut logisch.

In this ca. 1880s photo, the Deadwood stagecoach is heavily loaded with people and luggage. Note the man with the rifle on top.
This gets at a real frustration people feel, but I think it misidentifies where the pricing power often sits.
A very large share of Americans with private insurance are actually in employer sponsored self funded plans. In those arrangements, the employer is the one ultimately paying for the MRI, the surgery, the delivery, and the office visit. The insurance company listed on the card is often functioning mainly as a claims administrator, not the true purchaser of risk in the way people imagine.
That matters because it means the story is not simply “big bad insurer versus powerless hospital.”
In many markets, there are actually many purchasers of healthcare services, including employers, union plans, third party administrators, and insurers, but only a small number of dominant hospital systems selling care. So the hospitals have all the leverage.
When a hospital system controls enough beds, enough specialists, enough outpatient sites, and enough geographic territory, it can demand all or nothing contracts. Employers and plans are told to accept the entire system’s rate structure across the board or lose access altogether. That is consolidation driven pricing power.
So yes, insurers is an easy villian. Prior auth, denials, narrow networks, and opaque benefit design are all real problems.
But they are not the whole story, and they are not the main driver of high prices.
If you want to understand why an MRI at one site is a few hundred dollars and at another is many thousands, or why routine hospital based care is so expensive, you have to look at seller market power, especially large consolidated hospital systems that can command prices far above anything resembling a competitive rate.
There is plenty to criticize about insurers.
But on cost, the bigger issue in many places is that the purchasers of care have weak leverage and the sellers do not.
And the sellers know it.

Iranian officials have told the mediators — Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey — that U.S. military movements and Trump's decision to deploy major troop reinforcements have increased their suspicion that his proposal for peace talks is just a ruse: Axios
This decision will ripple throughout the world. Congratulations @AaronKheriatyMD! Recalcitrant government bureaucracies like Australia need to reverse course and cease persecuting its citizens for their thoughts or risk becoming a pariah among free countries.

🚨 FIRE RNC CHAIR JOE GRUTTER NOW — He’s Been an Absolute Disaster for the GOP**
I’m sorry, but it’s time to say it out loud: Joe Grutter, head of the RNC, needs to be fired immediately.
He has been a complete disaster for the Republican Party. A total disaster.
Under his watch, we’re losing special elections left and right while Democrats are more motivated than ever. The GOP is bleeding momentum exactly when we need to be firing on all cylinders.
Enough is enough. Time for real leadership. Fire Grutter today and get the RNC back on track for victory.
Who’s with me? 🇺🇸

Brutal! Lanz wacht auf!
Die Zerstörung der SPD
We’re paying $2,500 a month to support free speech on this platform, and yet the platform itself is undermining it. If criticism keeps getting selectively suppressed, we’re done funding it. This doesn’t look accidental. It looks deliberate.
I wholeheartedly support this effort by Ruth’s Chris Steak House. More establishments should enforce a proper dress code. It’s good for society…

🚨The people trusted the regulators when they promised to ensure they would intensive safety monitoring of a novel drug that was being forced on every working person.
They lied.
No monitoring was done.
Not only did the TGA take huge sums of money from the pharma companies to rush the new and untested genetic vaccines through approval, but they stopped us asking the questions that we knew would expose their abrogation of duty.
Then they tied us in administrative knots.
5 years and multiple FOIAs later, the trickle of information that has been obtained shows that no monitoring of cancers or pregnancies or even deaths happened.
It was all a lie.

Lead ACLU litigator Chase Strangio famously said "a penis is not a male body part, it's just an unusual body part for a woman to have."
Here a PA state senator says: "Female bodies are just as strong and fast and capable as male bodies."
These are not outlying figures or outlying views. They are brazen falsehoods, but they are brazen falsehoods that are the basis of state policy all across Blue America that the Democratic party will impose on every American citizen if they obtain the power to do so.
This is what transgenderism requires you to believe -- and will use state power to impose on the world, and will punish you for disputing. It's why there are tampons in the boys' room. It's why there are male rapists and murderers in women's prisons. It's why there are adult males with fully intact genitals in the girls' room and males giving concussions to girls in hig school volleyball matches.
Nothing this detached from reality has had the power to dictate state policy in modern American history.
When Australians were told they were in the largest vaccine trial they were reassured all safety measures had been followed. But did it happen?

It's worth pointing out that both of Byron Donalds' endorsed candidates lost their special elections tonight.
Jay Collins flipped that blue district and won +10 in '22. DeSantis won big there. Trump won that district by +7 in '24.
Byron could easily lose the general to a Dem.
Speaking with @Aleph's @mikeeisenberg, I made these comments ONE WEEK BEFORE THE WAR:
“We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help the Iranian people get rid of their tyrannical regime. We will never forgive ourselves if we miss this opportunity.”
Two guys learn the hard way what happens when you throw giant rocks off a bridge
Trump: “They [regime in Iran] have agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon.” 👇
Seriously? What's new here? They have ALWAYS said they don't want a nuclear weapon. The problem is that they have always lied, as they do now. Nothing new.
The last thing JD Vance needs is the announcement that he is the regime's favorite person in the administration 🤣
