LEV RADIN/SIPA USA VIA AP IMAGES
Medicare was founded in 1965 to end the crisis of medical care being
denied to senior citizens in America, but private insurers have been
able to progressively expand their presence in Medicare.
The Medicare Advantage Trap
: In 46
states, insurers can still legally deny seniors coverage if they have
pre-existing conditions. Matthew Cunningham-Cook breaks down how seniors
who choose Medicare Advantage at age 65 get trapped in the system.
The Blueprint
:
From ideological purity tests for military leadership to centering
Christian nationalist policies, the right-wing establishment's plan for
a second Trump presidency is terrifying. Harold Meyerson wrote about
Project 2025's 920-page manifesto for our December print issue.
Israel's Brutality Is Stoking the Imagination of India's Far Right
:
India's far right, looking to build a Hindu supremacist state in secular
India, has always made common cause with Israel. Now, Modi's right-wing
regime is using the war in Gaza to stoke Islamophobic hatred within its
own borders. Aparna Gopalan has the story.
The Cybertruck Is the Dumbest Thing I've Ever Seen
:
If you're thinking about buying Tesla's newly-released Cybertruck, read
this, from Ryan Cooper, first.
The Amazon Loophole Is Driving the Fentanyl Crisis
:
The de minimis rule allows goods to be shipped internationally without
taxes or tariffs, if the product value is under a certain amount. This
standard, David Dayen reports, may be fueling the fentanyl crisis.

A month ago, we announced our upcoming column with Rick Perlstein
covering the 2024 elections, and how we needed to raise $200,000 by the
end of the year to keep this work sustainable.
In the past month, we've raised tens of thousands of dollars, and we're
so grateful to every reader who's chipped in to help power our newsroom.
Whether it's a lot or a little, each donation makes a major impact.
But we still have a long way to go to reach our goal of $200,000 by the
end of the year and make our plans for 2024 a reality. Reporting about
ideas, politics, and power doesn't come for free, and any amount you
give today will make a huge difference.
Can you chip in today to help us reach our goal? >>
