🚨🚨 Washington Residents, take note.
The rest of us, brace.🚨🚨

This is one of the biggest fears I had with impending cuts/losing access. Providers don’t have to accept Medicaid/medicare. The payments are abysmal at best.

Insurance doesn’t matter if no one accepts it.

This is devastating.
MultiCare will no longer contract with United Health Care and Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO individual plans beginning January 1, 2026.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2024, Cyndi relied on her Connect for Health plan for the life-saving treatments and therapies she needed.

Now she's in remission & facing the impossible choice of skipping her annual appointments or paying $1200 more/ month for coverage she can't afford.

When the purge comes—post-martial law—it’s ICE that’ll be kicking down doors. No warrants, badges or probable cause. Just roundups conducted by men who are—in many cases—members of the far-right militias that flooded DC on January 6 to be Trump’s new army. They know they’ll be pardoned for anything.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
It's official: Speaker Johnson just cancelled all votes in the House next week.

The next scheduled voting day is 10/27; the last time the House was in session was 9/19.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

A former DOGE staffer developed an AI tool that hallucinated the size of Veterans Affairs contracts.

For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

There are some very strange things going on at the Library of Congress. I’m doing searches for news articles from the Civil Rights Era. Political cartoons. That sort of thing. They used to be easily found.

That stuff is VERY hard to find now. Things are missing, people.

"Surely the President that refused to give up power in 2020, turbocharged ICE with sacks of cash, and recently conducted an Air Assault operation on a Chicago apartment complex will allow Dems to take control of Congress come January"

It’s time for Mutual Aid groups. We have to get started.

The last time we had these conversations, we were in the middle of COVID. Communities were struggling to keep going - economically, emotionally, physically.

AOC did a lot of work in this space. I'm sharing resources she created.

Bari Weiss, whose publication is being acquired by Paramount in a $150 million deal, is set to be named editor-in-chief of CBS News.

In an unusual arrangement, Weiss will report directly to Paramount CEO David Ellison, and not to CBS News’ Pres Tom Cibrowski or to head of TV George Cheeks.
