Klein and Corbyn
I don’t mind saying that The Intercept is a publication we much admire around these parts not only for their stellar cast of writers like Dave Dayen, Glenn Greenwald, and Jeremy Scahill, but also for their integrity.

I know I do (probably something I should be talking with my Therapist about). In style of course!

Access To Health Insurance!
Neither Obamacare nor Trumpcare have anything at all to do with Health, or Care, or Healthcare. We are instead arguing about the amount of profit we are transferring from a citizen’s pocket to the gaping maw of a faceless conglomerate Health Insurance Company and how we do it, with Democrats advocating compulsory payments with some …
