We used to have Cigna. When you are covered by Cigna, Cigna is your doctor.
Dr. Debby Day said her bosses at Cigna gave her a stark warning: Work faster, or the company might fire her. She said her bosses cared more about being fast than being right: “Deny, deny, deny. That’s how you hit your numbers.” (Published April 2024 w/ @capitolforum.bsky.social)

When I started writing about Supreme Court expansion, you couldn’t get the question *asked* in a poll. The first time I saw it actually polled, it was 8%. Now, we here.
Kind of a buried lede in the results of this Supreme Court approval rating poll from Marquette: Overall support for Supreme Court expansion, which even Democratic politicians were dismissing as "radical" just a few years ago, is now at 53 percent today.marquette.edu/2026/09/marq...

A child in an Idaho faith-healing family died of a treatable condition. Then another died — and another, and another. Idaho’s child abuse laws contain such broad religious exemptions that authorities didn’t intervene — before or after the deaths.

Schmitt the Shit is such a stinking dirtbag.
If you want to see a witch hunt, watch Sen. Erik Schmitt attack Jack Smith. Schmitt makes false accusations, suggests being in Atlanta proves conspiracy, and when it becomes clear Smith was not in Atlanta at all, persists in name-calling. And no, he has no shame. www.nbcnews.com/video/republ...

Trump’s new AI “accord” has no actual government regulator enforcing it, no penalties for violations, no disclosure requirement and no implementation deadline. The companies choose their own auditors. This isn’t regulation. It’s the consolidation of an unaccountable tech mafia.
Musk, Zuckerberg, Pichai, Amodei, Brockman and Huang signed Trump’s "AI accord" requiring outside oversight. Three helped write the "self-regulation" rules and are building the body that would set standards for and certify the auditors policing them.
