UHC is already arbitrarily changing co-pays on prescriptions. I picked one up last month, 0. Today, $10 “It’s just what insurance tells us to bill”
$10 not a big deal. Warfarin is around $5 or $3 w/ two separate dosages. Zofran can be as high as $40, but it’s zero. The ones $47 could be $1342 scary

BREAKING: NYC Mayor Eric Adams ends his campaign. And since he tried to FORCE civil servants into Medicare advantage, this makes me very relieved. I wonder how long it will be before the Trump administration offers him a position?

The targeting of the President’s perceived enemies continues.

Trump ordered this prosecution, fired the US Attorney in charge of the investigation, and installed a White House aide to overrule career prosecutors.

This is dangerous.

It’s why I said he’s never want people boycotting Disney where sick kids don’t get things which make them feel better. Fave Disney stuffed animal, movie during chemo, “Captain Jack” visiting them.

Jimmy Kimmel is also a father.

This story about his newborn son’s congenital heart defect hits home because Kimmel’s reaction wasn’t just about his own baby. He spoke up for all the other families and children dealing with the same.

It’s called empathy. It’s how a lot of good happens in the world.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Weird how MAGA tried to hang Mike Pence in a public assassination in front of the world, including his family, on January 6th but are upset Charlie Kirk was publicly assassinated.
I think both are horrifying. MAGA still thinks Pence & Pelosi should've been assassinated. Publicly.

@freedom.press Freedom of speech, but only during certain hours and only in certain states. How did that statutory interpretation happen?

Texas outlawed talking on campuses after 10 p.m. Students are fighting back.

Check out this op-ed from FPF Senior Adviser @caitlinvogus.bsky.social in @houstonchronicle.com:
Texas outlawed talking on campuses after 10 p.m. Students are fighting back.
Did lawmakers and Abbott not realize the law is unconstitutional? Or did they just not care?

There is a special place in hell for those who play trusting people. It isn’t hot enough and they can’t get there fast enough as far as I’m concerned.

For over a decade, I tried to advocate for dropping charges against Ed Snowden or a pardon. For all I know, it isn’t what he’d want or his family.

For others, it’s self-preservation. I can’t know if an online purchase someone is going to contort as some reality which it isn’t. Nothing more than it’s been for almost a half decade, trying to support small businesses.

Fortunately, Blue Sky isn’t a subscribe to model. Revenue is being cut off from those who have chosen to cause me harm or align with others who have caused me harm. While I may support their projects, walking the walk is more important than talking and ideologies.

ICE detains husband of Democratic congressional candidate—who is also a disabled U.S. Army veteran.

He is wheelchair bound—after suffering severe injury during training for deployment in Iraq.

Agents arrested him at his naturalization hearing—he is already a green card holder.
