Empathy and compassion should guide your decisions - not the bottom line. $180+ billion in revenue in 2022, but can’t pay $650 for a CT scan that could save my life.

The cancer is back and it’s on my foot again. My oncologist knows more about my care than your gynecologist, pediatrician, and orthopedic surgeons who said my foot does not need scans. I am a public middle school teacher battling cancer. You can do better @Cigna.

@Cigna - you are refusing to pay for the CT scan of my foot where my melanoma started saying I don’t need one. What type of care is that? Denied me a CT scan of my foot my world-renowned melanoma oncologist says I needed. Now I am stuck with a $650 CT scan bill.

Private equity buys up housing at record rates. Housing costs skyrocket. Private equity invests $100 billion a year in health care. Costs explode. Hedge funds and private equity firms buy up half the nation’s daily papers. Reporters are laid off in droves. See the pattern?

“Us” and “Them.” Vitriol, hate, and division. I have seen where this rhetoric leads. It is chilling and dangerous. It is incumbent on all to bear witness, especially my colleagues in the press. This should not stand unchallenged.

Last night, I received disturbing news, confirmed to me directly by General Perna of Operation Warp Speed: States will not be receiving increased shipments of vaccines from the national stockpile next week, because there is no federal reserve of doses.

I recently learned there was a Chuck Norris lookalike at the DC Capitol riots. It wasn’t me and I wasn’t there. There is no room for violence of any kind in our society. I am and always will be for Law and Order. Your friend, Chuck Norris

The House should immediately subpoena the President’s phone records. He was calling people during the Capitol insurrection to try to continue to delay election certification. Who else did he try to call other than Sen. Tuberville? Rudy’s calls too.

Historian of coups and right-wing authoritarians here. If there are not severe consequences for every lawmaker & Trump govt official who backed this, every member of the Capitol Police who collaborated with them, this "strategy of disruption" will escalate in 2021

I am no longer impressed that Nicholas Cage managed to steal the Declaration of Independence.

Pernicious cowardice is tallied in death as “leaders” protect themselves with vaccines not available yet to hundreds of millions they’ve put at risk. A vaccine too late for those who have and will soon perish from a disease these cowards have downplayed and mismanaged. Shame.

Republicans have cut the number of Early Voting sites in Georgia’s Cobb County in half — primarily removing sites in minority neighborhoods. Cobb County has over half a million voters and went for Biden by 14 points in November. This is what actual election stealing looks like.

And as our federal and state officials have consistently failed to provide the kind of leadership needed in this moment of crisis, those responsibilities have fallen on local leaders, health board members, and public health employees. (1/9)

When I came to Congress, I knew I had a responsibility to pull back the curtain for the American people and expose corruption in real time. So, I’m filling you in on Senator McConnell’s attempts over the last 8 days to tank a *bipartisan* COVID relief bill. (THREAD)
