What if we aren’t a nation in decline, but in fact far more powerful than we dare to imagine? What if the images of weakness, insane conspiracy theories and recycled political failures of the past century that we are being fed from both the left and the right represent the last-ditch efforts of our enemies to divide and control us, because they know that otherwise they’ve lost the handle? What if we could build a better future together over the next five years — using the unique strengths of our own culture, combined with new technologies that give us unrivaled power to deter our enemies, cure diseases, eat healthier food, and live freer, better and more interesting lives? Imagine what would happen if Americans focused on our strengths, and our enormous capacity for progress, instead of on personal selfishness, political hatreds and ideological insanity? It starts with respecting the rights and freedoms that make this country the most powerful engine of human progress that the world has ever seen. Or we can choose to be divided and miserable.

Health insurance for families is about to hit $30,000 a year. Employers are stuck, employees lose raises, and hospitals keep building. Here’s how the ACA rules made it all possible. #healthcare #policy #AffordableCareAct #economy

Please, PLEASE, Please, include both PRICE TRANSPARENCY & COMPETITION in this bill. Without BOTH, the money WONT HELP! Specifically, force ALL healthcare providers to list their CASH price for each service AND what they accept from Medicare & private insurance. Next, allow insurance companies to offer direct to individuals, not solely through employers or intermediaries & REQUIRE them to disclose their coverage policies and DATA about claim denials, speed of approval etc, to allow for informed decision making. Finally, eliminate restrictions against catastrophic plans and eliminate the absurd 1 year “use it or lose it” on FSA accounts. If younger people want to save for healthcare later in life, LET THEM do so on a tax exempt basis with the caveat that left over funds be taxed as ordinary income to inheritors…

You can tell the quality of a man by whether he treats others well when he doesn’t have to.

I keep getting tagged in messages where people point to offensive speech and say, “Surely this isn’t free speech, Lukianoff!?” They’re missing the point. Speech isn’t protected so you can say only pleasant or popular things. It’s not protected just because it’s a fundamental human right that are truly free or democratic society is impossible without. It’s rightfully protected because societies have repeatedly discovered the value of knowing what people really think. That value cannot be overstated. Throughout history, kings, queens, aristocrats, and elites who underestimated the importance of that knowledge have often paid a steep price. Simply, you are not safer for knowing less about what people truly think. This is the central theme of my TED talk—check it out at the link below. It’s my simplest and clearest explanation of what I call the pure informational theory of freedom of speech.

Couldn't have said it better...

The Biden stepdown is a play, a soap opera, managed to maximize pathos & emotional engagement before the story moves forward to its next phase, which will also be scripted. If you've written stories yourself, you know the combination moves. From sadness & confusion, new resolve!

Last night, we kicked off the 2024 Braver Angels National Convention with 700 delegates, equally divided between liberals and conservatives. Hundreds of us across the political spectrum came together for the largest cross-partisan Biden-Trump debate watch party in the country.

This great clip from Krystal (@krystalball) and Sagaar (@esaagar) on Breaking Points (@BreakingPointsN) explains why all Americans should be concerned about CNN, President Biden, and President Trump colluding to keep me off the debating stage. The move has implications not just for all third party candidates, but for the democratic process in general, and should concern ALL Americans–regardless of whether or not they support me. “It’s just straight up rigged to keep him out.” Sagaar Enjeti “It’s one hundred percent rigged to keep him out, there’s no doubt about it…it is dramatically undemocratic to block out the most significant third party candidate we’ve had, what, since Ross Perot…people should be outraged.” Krystal Ball DONATE NOW ➡️ kennedy24.com/donate LEARN MORE: kennedy24.com #kennedyshanahan24
