The strangest food from each U.S. state

Gas over $4 a gallon. Diesel prices at record highs. And Virginian families paying the price. Vote Blue this November so we can fight back and bring costs down.

This was an incredible segment. Before ending his interview with CNBC Squawk Box this morning, CMS Administrator Dr. Oz took a moment to sound the alarm on America’s $100 BILLION healthcare fraud epidemic. And then he dropped a line that really says it all: “They’re not just stealing your money, they’re stealing your health.” DR. OZ: “Can I touch on one last thing before I leave you?” BECKY QUICK: “Yeah, I was going to ask what your biggest goal is for this year?” DR. OZ: “We have got to deal with the fraud issues, and here’s why.” “They’re not just stealing your money, they’re stealing your health, because if they don’t care about stealing from poor people, they’ll take your health away, and they’re stealing the nation’s trust.” “Medicare and Medicaid were created in a high trust environment.” “We assumed people would do the right things. We now are experiencing about $100 billion of theft a year, much of it because of the Covid pandemic impact on teaching criminals to move into healthcare.” “And we believe if we could just take the fraud out of Medicare, we would double the life expectancy of the Medicare trust fund, which means not only would you have it for your retirement, but it could be there for your kids as well.” That last point is the bigger issue Oz was getting at. And if the administration can actually recover a meaningful portion of that money, Oz says the payoff could extend far beyond the current generation of Medicare recipients.

DL Hughley praises NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.x.com/MarcoFoster_/status/20… "This Muslim is putting Christians to shame!" "There is more to say for a man that lifts the poor, that feeds the hungry… that walks among the people, than powerful white men who consort with a ped*phile!" "Who's the more Christlike?"

i ran into zohran while he was out & about, got to chat with him briefly, & my god this dude is definitively a once in a generation politician. i mean he is remarkably difficult to dislike. he always has that giant smile, never seems overly performative, & does stuff like this all the time around the city. overall the dude is great. now, if he toned down some of the crazier government run stuff, price controls, rent freezes, etc. he’d unquestionably go down as legendary.
