"Uninsured Patients Rise Sharply, Hospitals Report, Citing Obamacare Cuts"

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/business/aca-obamacare-health-insurance.html

gee, it turns out that if you throw people off their health insurance, they become an expensive burden on the healthcare industry. no one could have predicted this

So five months into Iran, the Pentagon posted "winning" over a photo of American troops, captioned "it's not an option," then deleted it like a man swallowing a receipt.

no objective. no exit. no fucking definition of victory.

18 dead. 624 wounded. Hormuz shut, pumps climbing, stockpiles bleeding out.

because fuck this, this was never a war they were losing. it's a goddamned cock-war they never intended to end — an infinite-money churn ass monkey with a merch table and a comms shop that can scrub a tweet faster than it can notify a family.

32% approval.

Unneeded war for profit and fun

What two idiot shitheels have done

A sot and a whacked codger

A drunk and a draft dodger

Will declare it a win, cut and run

rlritt's avatar

Why are the Republicans going after a Dr. appointed by Reagan who was reporting to Trump during the Covid epidemic? Why not blame Trump for keeping him on?

HI2thDoc's avatar

The spineless, soulless ass kissers of that wreck of a former party will not blame trump for anything he's done, no matter how stupid, corrupt, or evil.

rlritt's avatar

And I cant figure out why. He's pretty much a dead weight around their necks with these horrible approval ratings

bruce somers's avatar

Because polls don't win elections when you have Elon cheating for you.

Stephen Brady's avatar

Because they demonize everyone who isn't MAGA into a traitor... Trust me, Miller has a Final Solution in the can already.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

If the Democrats can take back the House AND the Senate, Trump instantly becomes a "lame duck."

A.J. Madison's avatar

Congressional Rs were recruited for their lack of intelligence, willingness to vote as told, and repeat speeches verbatim at press conferences as handed down from the Heritage Foundation. None of them bothered (or are smart enough) to create their own grass roots campaign donation networks. Dwumpy has threatened to cut all of their campaign funding if they don't do as told, which apparently is to be morons and repeat gibberish that doesn't mollify constituents that are suffering brutal inflation, nor make the Latin community happy that after helping to elect ElStupidoShitInPantsFuckHead, their communities are under attack by ICE. That's why they say nothing and vote in lockstep with the whims of elStupido. I may have a couple details wrong, but pundits have confirmed that Dwump's control of Republican Campaign Finances have them cowering under their desks.

NEAL O'CONNOR's avatar

Have you been out-of-touch for very long? Trump praised Fauci when he thought it would make him look good. Then he trashed him for throwing cold water on Trump's medical tips, like horse dewormer and malaria drugs. Fauci spoke and acted in good faith, and the idiots still blame him instead of the pinhead predator in the Oval Office.

Bob's avatar

The election clock is ticking louder and they’re scared shitless of losing. Distracting from their own feckless governance and the war, and inflation, and the Epstein files, and the ICE thug murderers is the plan.

Anna Bolique's avatar

Because they don't blame T rump for anything. Whenever they like something he does they praise his genius to the skies, but whenever he fucks up, it's always, "who was ADVISING him?" "Whose idea was this?" "He should fire whoever came up with this."

P123Sunny's avatar

Why do they hate Dr. Fauci, when the worst thing he ever did was try to keep them alive?

And from what I have been reading its the late Lindsey Graham who was the biggest war monger and urged an all out war with Iran and other countries. He was gleeful when bombs fell in spite of casualties. Maybe with him gone, cooler heads will prevail, but I doubt it. These MAGA Republicans get off on people being shot and blown up. They all fantasize that they're Rambo. More like Dumbo.

Kim Steeves's avatar

I often wonder how many of the Republicans own shares in munition companies? Hence the urge to blow shit up!

rlritt's avatar

I would assume lots of them get campaign donations from munitions companies.

Suel J's avatar

Lol. No shit. The law of fully intended consequences. We are however, oh so happy that Mitch baby is receiving excellent care, funded by the same people that are an "expensive burden" now.

So we've gone from insured to some level by Obamacare. To being described as "expensive burdens". Now Obamacare didn't break any banks did it? Except to hear the GOP tantrums you'd have thought the country was going under tomorrow. Fuck every single person that crusades against healthcare for all. We are being force fed this shit. VOTE

JoJoRa's avatar

Not only funded by those "expensive burdens," but if (big IF) he is in a rehab facility, he is likely being cared for by immigrants. Immigrants are willing to work hard and do the "stinky" jobs that our natural-born citizens will do.

You know it's true. When a relative was in a big rehab 200 plus beds outside of chicago that is who ran the place on all levels. No complaints at all. What the hell is wrong with people??

What actually shocked me is that these MAGA fucks forgot how horribly the orange turd handled the Pandemic and voted him back in and now it's just non stop chaos every fucking day!!

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

We should face the reality that at long last Republicans have no decency. Zero. Nada. They are worthless.

They are far worse than worthless. They are working 24/7 all days ending in a Y to destroy the USA.

I would love to know how all 20 to 30,000 dead people in Alabama could sue Dr. Fauci. That, I’d really like to see.

Sally Gombita's avatar

The ones that died of Covid that could have been prevented with the vaccine they refused to take? But but but magnets or something!

Linda Weide's avatar

After spending 4.5 months getting my mother back onto a medicare plan that paid for her primary care, and getting bilked out of over $2000 dollars paying some back bills, which we then got double billed for by the collection agency and the medical center, both of which we paid, although one not intentionally, and we are waiting to get it back, because they should have been covered by her supplemental insurance, I find out that she has to pay a lot for dental care. It just sucks. I now have to find her basic dental insurance. It is crazy. So, my mom, now that she does not work, does not have dental insurance because basic medicare does not cover dental. As a plan it is flawed.

Marc R Hapke's avatar

You will find that basic dental insurance (the only kind that's offered so far as I can tell) doesn't cover much of anything.

cablecargal's avatar

Just got kicked off of my work-related dental care and went to the dentist recommended for our coverage and they would NOT even do a cleaning.

They took x-rays and kicked us out. Told us to call a periodontist.

Kim Steeves's avatar

So sorry, you both must be so exhausted.

🌷IntheHalloftheMtnKing's avatar

My friend gave me a dire warning last week citing its been bad since the "Big, beautiful bill." More layoffs for hospital staff and more on the way- she can feel it coming. No overtime, no education if it's slow. I'm legit worried about our health care system.

They can STFU about Fauci. It solves nothing - just theatre for the news cycle.

Congress is all talk, no meaningful change.

Measles on the rise...

Everything is breaking down.

Stephen Brady's avatar

Good piece, Jeff! Unfortunately, all it did is infuriate me all over again after yesterday... The choads who make up the core of MAGA are what my Dad, a staunch Eisenhower Republican always called RWNJs. Sometimes he added the adjective 'paranoid'. Now they are the The Party and out front and center spewing their paranoid horseshit. The only good thing William F. Buckley ever did was to successfully supress these people and allow them no quarter in The Republican Party.

T L Mills's avatar

Yeah, wait till all we Medicare patients start getting sick because we can no longer afford our prescriptions, thanks to "DOCTOR" Oz ending the Part D prescription subsidies.

This is political suicide, pulling a fool stunt like this 96 days prior to the midterms.

SPW's avatar

Wait until the Medicare part D cuts kick in in Jan 2027. Especially since part D is mandatory, that extra kick in the premium pants will likely kill even more people than he’s already killed with his pocket Congress and cabinet. Shameful chodes every one of them.

Wendymae's avatar

And it coincides with 100% tariffs on generics to really help kill us faster!

Stranger Than Friction's avatar

Wait til everyone finds out that the work requirements for Medicaid extend to those in hospice and nursing home care. Thanks republicans!

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

At least you have that googly-eyed chud to end today’s piece. That shit is as funny as fuck. And the idea that he thought to take it to court… the lunatics, man, the lunatics. The fucking lunatics.

JoJoRa's avatar

Did he lose the lawsuit because the judge agreed that he is a "googly-eyed chud"? Karma

Joyce's avatar

The judge may have fallen off the bench from laughing so hard. Or, perhaps he polled the jury: "How many think he is NOT a googly-eyed chud?....Let the record show: zero responses. How many think he IS a googly-eyed chud?....Twelve in favor. Case dismissed on account of plaintiff's being a googly-eyed chud."

michellefromchicago's avatar

I wonder why Patel has such googly eyes to begin with. Was he born that way? Does he have a thyroid problem? Or perhaps he partakes of some of Elon's stash... If the latter is the case, it's only a matter of time before Patel starts flying around on Fork Force One

Bob Bowden's avatar

Kash Patel is a googly-eyed chud beyond reasonable doubt

rlritt's avatar

The jury says, "He does have googly eyes. Not Guilty."

Kathleen Weber's avatar

"googly eyed Chud..." —

I almost expect to see bubbles dribbling out of his mouth like a goldfish.

Diana's avatar

Me either Anne- I asked my husband if he knew- nope not a word we both ever heard before…but it does sound kinda fishy tho- like the rest of the D.C. gang‼️

I’ve learned new words from Uncle Jeff many times since I’ve found Substack- refreshing during these dark times ‼️

Karen Hutchinson-Talaski's avatar

Chud is a modern internet slang term used as a general insult meaning a loser, fool, or boorish jerk, which has evolved from a specific political slur into a broader youth-culture term. Fits Patel & the rest of the Trump administration perfectly, don’t you think? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Diana's avatar

Thank you Karen so much‼️ We made it through the first term- let’s hope this second term goes quickly ‼️🤞

DebJS's avatar

There is really no comparison because this time around there is no one in the administration who will tell him "no sir, you can't do that" and instead are inventing new ways he can indeed do or at least attempt to do things until it gets to the SCOTUS

Karen Hutchinson-Talaski's avatar

True. The grown-ups are gone & just suck-ups are left behind.

Karen Hutchinson-Talaski's avatar

My feelings exactly. This term can only get worse, dang it! I just want to survive long enough to see Trump imprisoned or in a home for Alzheimer’s patients.

Bob Bowden's avatar

What an educational century it’s been so far, from dangling chads to googly eyed chuds

Bob Bowden's avatar

With hanging chads as the squares, and Patel’s bulging eyes as the circles

Apparently it's the mirror of -- you should excuse the expression -- "libtard."

It's also a horror movie I reviewed in 1984. ("C.H.U.D.") https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087015/

Sally Gombita's avatar

Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers! It's a classic!

Morty's avatar

The best part of this story: The New Republic headline watered down the rhetoric, “Googly Eyed Chud” is not exactly what the blogger called him. From the article:

“ Stewartson celebrated the final order, which referenced his comment in a footnote. “I’d like to commend the judge for including ‘googly-eyed Kremlin bitch’ in his ruling,” Stewartson wrote on X Tuesday. “

The. Fucking. Lunatics.

Sums it the hell up, doesn’t it?! 🙄

Diana's avatar

Totally agree with you Neal….🤨

Caroline (PDX)'s avatar

Jim Stewartson, along with Jeff, is one of my favorite writers here on Substack. He was sued for defamation by both kash patel and mike flynn.

He has a way of cutting through all the bullshit and explaining how and why we got to this point.

Stephanie Lajeskie's avatar

I really wish Fauci had answered Bernie Moron’s question with, “Who the fuck did I think I was? I was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases , you fucking moronic piece of shit. I served this country for 54 fucking years and never had a problem until your orange turd botched a a response to a worldwide pandemic.” And if masks are so fucking dangerous, tell your ICE thugs they should remove them ASAP.” Oh my Gawd!!! I’m so filled with rage over this! 🤬🤬🤬

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Keep in mind that Rand Fucking Paul is an ophthalmologist, so he knows shit about infectious diseases. Fucking piece of shit who gives libertarians a bad name

Cheri Collins's avatar

As I understand it, he is not. He was trained by some alternate, non accredited institution.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

I don't know where he got his training, but the story is he created his own medical board to "accredit" himself.

Cheri Collins's avatar

See HP’s comment - it clarifies this. ☺️

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Wikipedia says Duke Medical School

HP's avatar

He’s not board certified, he has “alternate certification”, but he’s still a certified asshole.

WIKIPEDIA

Rand Paul's Medical Credentials

Education and Practice

Medical Degree: Rand Paul graduated from Duke University School of Medicine.

Ophthalmology Practice: He practiced as an ophthalmologist in Bowling Green, Kentucky, for many years before entering politics.

Certification Status

American Board of Ophthalmology: Rand Paul is not certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, which is the leading certification body for ophthalmologists in the United States.

Alternative Certification: He is certified through the National Board of Ophthalmology, an organization he helped establish, which is not recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.

Summary

Rand Paul is indeed a real ophthalmologist with a medical degree and extensive practice experience. However, his lack of certification from the American Board of Ophthalmology has led to scrutiny regarding his professional credentials.

Cheri Collins's avatar

Thank you for the clarification, HP. The fact that he is a trained and experienced physician makes his behavior even more diabolical!

Stephanie Lajeskie's avatar

He’s not even board certified as an ophthalmologist.

Suel J's avatar

He is a very small jerk.

The bullies showed their asses. And they are too stupid to realize it. No self respect. No shame. No honor. They sold their balls to the Trump Family. The Democratic Party should be using their performances for the campaigns of their opponents. Not a difficult effort. Just show and tell. They beat up an old man who devoted his life to public service while grifting off their own constituents. Quite a display!

Pam Humphrey's avatar

Oh, hell yes! I screamed myself hoarse watching the videos of this shit. Scared the dog again.

Carlye Hooten's avatar

ME TOO! 🤬🤬🤬 That would have been EPIC! (To borrow a phrase from much younger people...) I'd have GIF'd that shit and played it a million times 🤣🤣

Thank all the gods for Jeff, he makes the stupidest people look even worse, but in a twisted and hilarious way.

Thankfully for my sanity, I have an existential rage condition, so with this current political outlet for it, I'm kind of in my element (I have to wonder if that's true of Uncle Jeff too?).

barb's avatar

I'm also enraged and heartbroken over the way these POS scumbags are addressing Fauci. How dare they talk to him like that after all that he's done for the country. I came across a FB post providing the following address if anyone wants to send Fauci a postcard of support: Dr. Anthony Faucic/o NIAID Office of Communications and Government Relations5601 Fishers Lane, MSC 9806Bethesda, MD 20892-9806USA2 sitesShowing appreciation for Dr. Fauci's contributions - FacebookJul 30, 2026 — ..

Shame on the Republicans for allowing this. Dr. Fauci has saved so many lives.

Its ridiculous. They're probably doing this in order to not have to deal with a more and more obviously senile president.

Cynthia mae's avatar

Yes, it's all about diversion and optics

Cheri Collins's avatar

But mainly to distract the populace from The Trump Epstein Files and the Don’t Call It A War.

Waste of my tax dollars just to try and prove that putting bleach in your veins is a better idea than a mask. AHHHHHHhhh! (it's all to appease the ginormous pustule)

RZolu's avatar

But isn't all this theater just another distraction for the Epstein files?

Joanne Beck's avatar

But of course it is! Isn't everything they do for that reason?

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Not exactly. Epstein Files terrify MAGA because Shitler's presence permeates every page. But the underbelly of right-wing malevolence, including dismissal of Epstein's victims, is a ravenous hunger for dominance and permanent control.

Joanne Beck's avatar

correct. But they sure are hiding a lot of "very special people" who need exposure.

Karen Hutchinson-Talaski's avatar

Of course, it is. Everything Trump does that is ridiculous or heinous is a distraction from the fact that he is all over the Epstein files.

Barbara Woodward's avatar

It’s worth noting that Representative Max Miller is Senator Bernie Moreno’s son-in-law. Yes, the one who physically abused Moreno’s daughter and granddaughter. Seems Moreno is okay with that.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Domestic violence is okay in the right wing manosphere

Joyce's avatar

From what I observed of Bernie Moron-o yesterday, I'd guess he's totally on board with abuse of any kind. He certainly was enjoying the hell out of cursing and verbally abusing Dr. Fauci, knowing that Dr. Fauci could not respond.

DuduLovesBubu's avatar

Fauci should have responded by raising both middle fingers. The whole fucking hearing should have been Fauci aggressively displaying the double middle finger.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Was this an all-Republican hearing? Where were the Democrats who could have demanded that Colombian crime-lord Moreno be censured, stricken from the record? And to invite Peter Navarro, that fucking guy, to testify about anything? What a backed-up toilet Congress has become with the GOP as the majority.

Barbara Woodward's avatar

There are also Democrats on the committee. Censuring is not what this hearing is for.

Wendymae's avatar

I did read somewhere that he was heavily defended by the Dems, but I guess it's not "newsworthy" enough for most outlets.

Cheri Collins's avatar

Yes! Same thing my brilliant other half said. Where were and are the Democrats!!!! Busy phoning me for donations, I guess. 😡

Robert Eckert's avatar

"Where were and are the Democrats!" In the minority, where they have no power to stop this kind of thing, only to speak against it.

Gary Peters, retiring Democrat from Michigan, tore Rand Paul a new one during that hearing.

Pam Humphrey's avatar

Fauci has too much class and dignity to do that. I would have!

Barbara Woodward's avatar

He didn’t want to give them one opening!

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Fine anti-abortion Roman Catholic.

Barbara Woodward's avatar

The rest of Congress seems okay with it too!

HI2thDoc's avatar

If that was one of my daughters, I would have something to say. And I probably would have to hold my wife back first

Suki Herr's avatar

As an Ohio resident, I want to apologize for Bernie Moreno. If someone is convicted of wage theft, selling knock off cars??, why would you choose Moreno over the great Sherrod Brown?

Sherrod Brown is slightly behind another Republican winner Jon Husted? Husted has been involved or adjacent to the crimes of OH being judged the most corrupt state in the Union. Against all odds we defeated FL&TX for the title.

Joyce's avatar

I wonder if Nosferatu and his band of Merry ICE thugs know that Bernie "Fuck/Shit Is Now On The Record" Moreno is from Columbia. As in South America.

Cathy Wray's avatar

ICE!! ICE!! Where are you??

RZolu's avatar

I wondered how Ohio had ever voted in this useless piece of garbage. Too bad Ohio has so many in the cult as I'm sure there are many of you that are horrified at Moreno's antics...

Suki Herr's avatar

Ohio is a mess. DeWine/Husted governor admin. The Republican state legislature, embezzlement.

We send Jim Jordan from the gerrymandered district called the duck because it looks like a duck.

Sherrod Brown worked hard for many years for the working class&he’s pushed out for this literal criminal.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Terminally shady Moreno was elected by the techbros, who spent tens of millions getting him into office. It was the most expensive non-presidential race ever. Sherrod was buried in nonstop, totally bogus attack ads.

Maggie&Lefty's avatar

my guess is they needed someone who was Latino adjacent?

Denise Donaldson's avatar

That could be. At any rate, they wanted someone who could be bought and would stay bought. Moreno was the guy.

Joe Witkowski's avatar

But again, Bernie Moreno is a 💩 fine conservative anti-abortion Roman Catholic

Suki Herr's avatar

Very wealthy too. Republicans love candidates who help finance their campaigns.

Moreno should minimally show concern for his daughter.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Yes, he has money [ill-gotten gains], but not on the scale of the techbros. And he might have lost it all, had the accusations against him been proven.

Suki Herr's avatar

I believe Moreno was actually convicted of not paying overtime to employees.

It was found that he did something I’ve never heard of: selling knockoff Buicks??

D Kitterman's avatar

Hahahahaha, knockoff Buicks?

Robin D's avatar

They are despicable fuckwits. I curse them all. What Fauci did for HIV/AIDS research alone that used to be a death sentence. How dare they? Dozy “Typhoid Mary” Donnie almost died of Covid and infected how many people? His buddy Herman Cain died from it. Too bad Herman went instead of Donnie. I hope I live long enough to see all of their funerals and them buried (literally) in shame. 🪦 They all should have taken the ivermectin, drank the bleach and had lasers shoved up their asses.

RZolu's avatar

I'm with you...if only...

Cathy Wray's avatar

I especially like your suggestion of lasers being shoved up his ass, and then Putin's dick.

Kay-El's avatar

During the whole Cootie Crises™, Dr. Fauci kept me sane. Rand Paul (R-Horse’s Ass) has nothing better to do for his state which is #45 in economy and #46 in healthcare. Maybe he should focus on his own fucking backyard.

Cyndi's avatar

Maybe Sen. Rand "I'm a doctor" Paul could give an explanation of the injury that is currently sidelining his fellow Kentucky senator?

rlritt's avatar

Really. Nothing like a cushy job with nothing to do but enrich yourself.

Susie's avatar

Appreciate the correct attribution, (R-Horse’s Ass), for Rand Paul. That’s the first time I’ve seen it correct. 👍🏻🤣

Cathy Wray's avatar

Rand Paul is a kook.

Candace Bartsch's avatar

I totally agree. Dr. Fauci has done more than his fair share; taken a hell of a lot crap; and really deserved to just be a "retired country gentleman".

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

He deserved a major award for his contributions while putting up with the vilest individual on the planet.

2Cats2Furious's avatar

Fauci’s relief after Biden was elected was palpable.
