This isn't hyperbole. In 2023, I watched Cigna revoke approval for my friend Carole's life-saving lung transplant *minutes* before surgery was set to begin—a decision that very nearly killed her.
Public outrage in response to a viral post about her situation is the only reason she's alive today.

I’m not sure what’s more annoying. Seeing the Amazon delivery guy come all the way up to the steps and throw the box at the porch… or that he also didn’t ring the bell (if he sees the Ring then he knows I’m watching him throw the box). Sorry you hate your job but I’m not your employer? Meh…

In November 1990, LIFE Magazine ran a now-legendary photograph of AIDS activist David Kirby’s last moments. Just out of frame was another eventual victim of AIDS, and the reason Therese Frare was in the room at all; Peta, a two-spirit caretaker with their own story to tell.

Feckless Leader tried to say this would magically offset the wealth gap and allow these young kids to grow up with a better chance of achieving the "American Dream"
You know, because a difference of $700 is what made all of us trapped in lower income ranges and unable to buy homes.

So these two mega-billionaires—who supported Trump as he opposed meaningful loan forgiveness for tens of millions of young people because Trump has increased their net worth immeasurably—are donating an infinitesimal portion of their wealth to help a few kids turn $250 into $700 over 18 years?
WOW.
WOW.

Just call them the PedoFiles. It seems less clunky than "epstein"-anything. Also I think names have power after people die, so the more we mention his name, it's like keeping his ghost around, and he isn't doing enough haunting to deserve that. If he ups his ghost game I may reconsider.

Y'all know if Don the Con offers us a "healthcare plan" it's just going to be a scam that doesn't work for anyone but I'm sure the fine print will somehow ruin lives worse than our current privatized healthcare industry does in its current state. Remember Trump University?
