Brands such as Urban Outfitters, Gymshark and Uniqlo are recruiting young workers without basic employment rights through gig apps, to cover the festive period.

This is clearly passing on risk from the business owner to the individual staff member.

It’s unacceptable.

"Deny, deny, deny. That's how you hit your numbers."

Read @propublica.org's seminal series on how insurance giants like United and Cigna systematically, cruelly—and very, very profitably—deny health coverage every day, at the expense of patients' lives.

Health insurers reject millions of claims for treatment every year in America. Corporate insiders, recordings and internal emails expose the system and its harm.

Special interests use ‘SLAPP-suits’ to silence critics and stifle public participation. My legislation with Rep. Kiley and @wyden.senate.gov protects citizen activists from absurdly costly retaliation in court.

A murderer was murdered. #BrianThompson #UHC

As it should be, one murderer will be found and punished for his heinous crime.

Despite the blood on his hands, the other murderer had no criminal record upon his death.

Corporate assassins don't go to jail. They get bonuses for denying claims.
Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

Today I learned that the first LGBTQ+ couple to get legally married in Maryland (through a loophole, and the license was later revoked) was in Montgomery County in 1975. I have now become obsessed with tracking down Michele and Paulette, if anyone knows anything!

Trump’s Project 2025 agenda further rigs the economy for billionaires, big banks & corporations on the backs of working people. Picking a billionaire hedge fund manager for US Treasury means doubling down on policies for Wall Street, not Main Street.
