Did you speak to the doctor? View the medical records? Have them looked at independently? Then I don’t think this story was ready until you had input from all sides.

If only there was some way to force the GOP to extend the subsidies. I guess we’ll never know.
NEWS: @schumer.senate.gov just attempted to pass a bill that would extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits and prevent insurance prices from doubling for 22 million Americans. Even though this bill passed the House with 17 Republican votes, Senate Republicans still blocked it.

Used Claude today to recalibrate my studio speakers for audio production. Took the time to provide my complete hardware and software signal chain and it gave me step by step instructions to calibrate. Everything is sounding much more balanced and full.

This but if you can buy from artists’ websites first even before Bandcamp
Honestly... still fuck spotify. People I urge you, look into bandcamp and platforms that allow you to buy your music directly from the artist, that way you are actually supporting them.
Spotify stopped running ICE ads but honestly it’s too little too late. We maintain that Spotify is still WHACK!
The platform still exploits artists, pushes AI-generated slop & its former CEO uses the company’s profits to invest in AI military drones.

Cities being terrorized by ICE need to assume that the police and feds are going to be antagonistic and create task forces outside of the police to track and investigate crimes by these goons. No one else is going to do it & while citizens can and should document what is happening, it's not enough.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
