Well this is shocking ... unless you've been paying attention.Florida health officials deleted key data and statistics from a state analysis on the safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, falsely making them appear unsafe for young men.Unless they're trying to harm all of us, I don't get this vaccine hatred from people who really ought to know better.https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/04/florida-officials-deleted-data-stats-from-dubious-covid-analysis-report/

Health insurance makes hospital care more expensiveThe price that a hospital charges a cash-paying patient is often lower than the negotiated price that a commercial insurance plan would pay.Health-care prices rise because most Americans have insurance. If everyone had grocery insurance, food prices would skyrocket, too. Health insurance coverage has led to high costs and suboptimal health outcomes. Remove the middlemen for routine services, and prices will fall.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/11/hospital-prices-health-insurance-high-costs/

Mr. MyPillow offered $5million to anyone who could disprove his "proof" of election fraud.Someone did.The panel said Robert Zeidman, a computer forensics expert and 63-year-old Trump voter from Nevada, was entitled to the $5 million payout.https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/04/20/mike-lindell-prove-wrong-contest/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWJpZCI6IjQ1OTkxODUwIiwicmVhc29uIjoiZ2lmdCIsIm5iZiI6MTY4MTk2MzIwMCwiaXNzIjoic3Vic2NyaXB0aW9ucyIsImV4cCI6MTY4MzI1OTE5OSwiaWF0IjoxNjgxOTYzMjAwLCJqdGkiOiI4MDNhNWUxYS0wNzM2LTRkNGUtOTU3Mi1mNTA1MTNmNjVlNzQiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy53YXNoaW5ndG9ucG9zdC5jb20vaW52ZXN0aWdhdGlvbnMvMjAyMy8wNC8yMC9taWtlLWxpbmRlbGwtcHJvdmUtd3JvbmctY29udGVzdC8ifQ.Sr4DB4mTCs0aI7nsZhAAocG1iD1CL643bk1hpEK48x8Zeidman had examined Lindell’s data and concluded that not only did it not prove voter fraud, it also had no connection to the 2020 election. He was the only expert who submitted a claim, arbitration records show.

The proposal from Republicans in the House would slash critical services for American soldiers that have left the field.The GOP budget will harm veterans by putting at least 50,000 vets on the streetsThe bill would cut 81,000 VA jobs, making it more and more difficult for veterans to get quick care, kill funding for rural telehealth, requiring veterans to drive long ways to get care, slash 6,000 benefits jobs, and increase already too long wait times for veterans.https://www.rawstory.com/house-republican-veteran-cuts-budget/

Grossberg went on to say that Carlson was "obsessed" with searching for an FBI agent in the crowd at the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol. She said she couldn't find anyone. She then was asked to find a lawyer for one of the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers who were willing to say that there were FBI agents in the audience on Jan. 6 and were instigating the crowds. None of the lawyers would do it.https://www.rawstory.com/fox-news-abby-grossberg-interview/

After spending the last year reassuring Russians that victory is inevitable in the war against Ukraine, the Kremlin is now frantically working to lower expectations—and rolling out a contingency plan to lessen the impact of a humiliating defeat.A new manual distributed to the Kremlin’s army of propagandists contains some surprising instructions: Do not “underestimate” Ukraine’s impending counter-offensive and do not spread the idea that Kyiv is somehow not ready for it.https://www.thedailybeast.com/vladimir-putin-grooms-russians-for-ukraine-war-loss-in-leaked-propaganda-manual

DeSantis has dismissed climate science as "the politicization of the weather" & "left-wing stuff"; denies that climate change had anything to do with Hurricane Ian's severity, & is a strident promoter of fossil fuels. He often mocks green energy as "woke."https://www.rawstory.com/how-ron-desantis-is-trying-to-out-trump-trump-on-climate-report-2660717305/

Trump-backed Arizona 'audit' was even more of a debacle than previously knownThe Arizona Republic is reporting that newly unearthed text messages sent by the CEO of the company that conducted the audit show that it was an even bigger debacle than had been previously reported.Reviewed text messages sent by Cyber Ninjas boss Doug Logan showing that the man leading the audit of the Arizona vote was often confused and bewildered by what his own data was showing.https://www.rawstory.com/arizona-election-audit-2661214181/

I honestly can't recall anyone more incompetent at retail politics. DeSantis now attacking the two most high profile black Republicans for disagreeing with his educational standards teaching that slavery was beneficial.“What slavery was really about was separating families, about mutilating humans and even raping their wives. It was just devastating. So I would hope that every person in our country — and certainly running for president — would appreciate that.”🤷♀️https://www.rawstory.com/black-conservatives-livid-after-desantis-tim-scott-for-opposing-slavery-curriculum-2662521365/

Shocker: Trump isn't listening to his attorneys again, and is demanding they do things they know are unwise.Isn't that essentially how he got indicted in the documents case?Trump already at odds with his lawyer on forcing Judge Chutkan recusalhttps://www.rawstory.com/trump-lawyer-2662895256/

Well this is interesting. Seems Trump's previous attorney now relegated to second rate PR flack Alina Habba checked the wrong box on a form related to the NY trial, so Trump gets a bench trial instead of a jury.Trump has always elected to have a jury. Legal analysts have observed that in the transcripts released from the special purpose grand jury in Georgia, there was almost always one person who voted against the indictment while the rest of the panel did.https://www.rawstory.com/no-jury-trial-for-trump-organization/
