β€œJust Let Me Die”: After Insurance Repeatedly Denied a Couple’s Claims, One Psychiatrist Was Their Last Hope After a North Carolina man attempted suicide twice, his wife tried to get him help at an inpatient clinic. But their insurance provider refused to cover the treatment, deeming it β€œnot medically necess...

One insurance denial for Teressa’s husband stated, β€œyour newborn does not meet the criteria for coverage.”

β€œThis is when I really start to think they’re just denying,” she recalled. β€œThey’re not even looking. They’re just β€˜deny, deny, deny.’”

Oof… this is bad, friends.

Stephanie Bice is using our tax dollars to send campaign materials to voters. Not only is she lying about supporting seniors while she slashes Medicare, but my Epstein-apologist opponent is also claiming to support working families while she cuts their healthcare, too.

Having dementia makes a vile person more vile because the filters they use to hide their vileness tend to drop as their brain deteriorates.

Mike Johnson pearl-clutches while he says he's trying to protect girls/now women who were victimized, trafficked, and raped by Epstein, et. al., – but he's lying. The survivors' attorneys helped craft the Bill.

Call Mike Johnson's office.
Demand full release of the Epstein files.

Exactly right. Fighting to keep premiums from spiking is good, but they should really be fighting to truly fix this broken system. #MedicareForAllNOW

I want Scott Adams to have functional healthcare, because I want us all to have functional healthcare. But note that he spent years as a hysterical opponent of public science and support networks, and now that it's his ass on the line OF COURSE he suddenly wants science and a support network...

The Democratic party should adopt values first, not policies. Values like, "E pluribus unum, bitch. Diversity is our strength and how we kick ass. We welcome everyone who welcomes everyone. If you don't like it, fuck you."

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

But we need to help all the progressive people escape the southern states first. Having recently escaped OK myself, I can tell you there are lots of good people there that don’t agree with any of this stuff.

Reminder:
Russia is on fire. Every night, Ukrainian drones blow up several oil depots, refineries military depots and ammunition factories. Here, a depot in the Moscow suburb of Balashikha is on fire.

I am organizing a second town hall in Manistee, MI, in Rep. John Moolenaar’s district on August 23rd. The first was during April recess. He hasn't held an in-person town hall since 2017. He is afraid to hear what voters think.

Duggan’s campaign draws big money from Trump supporters and wealthy GOP donors The Detroit mayor’s donations raise big questions about his political realignment as he runs for governor as an independent

Mike Duggan says he's an independent, but his donor list says otherwise. Michigan can't trust Mike. www.metrotimes.com/news/duggans...

Mike Rogers’ top backer is a Texas oil billionaire and β€œavowed Christian nationalist” linked to white supremacists and antisemites. A Super PAC backing John James got millions from the DeVos family. MDP Chair @CurtisHertelJr.bsky.social breaks it all down on PartyOnThePeninsulas.com
