If you’ve never lived near a coal terminal, you can’t imagine how filthy it is. I’m talking thick black dust on your window sill-dirty. Anyone living near a coal terminal breathes that poison 24x7.

They will never, ever get another dime from me, nor will I read anything under their banner. The WaPo is dead to me.

I fully support what you and the rest of the Senate and House Democrats are trying to do. Please keep fighting.

Wonder if MAGA has figured out that Trump is setting up to take their guns? Probably not.

Shout out to Portland and Seattle airports for telling Kristi Noem, NO! They are following the laws and using the Hatch Act to refuse playing her snuff videos blaming Democrats for shutting down the government at their airports on all their television screens. I hope other airports join in. 😎

I’m glad that the Israeli hostages have finally been released, and simultaneously horrified at how we arrived at this moment.

Always appeal your medical denials, especially since more payers are using AI to make denial decisions (which are supposed to be made by a doctor.)

Always exhaust all appeal options. The squeaky wheel gets the grease in these situations. Trust me.

Appeal, appeal, appeal. Make them do extra work.

How to Fight Your Health Insurance Denial with an External Appeal
