After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Told 5 I was trying to do a French braid and after we were done she asked me to take a picture. She looks at it and says, 'oh yeah, it looks like a French fry' 😅

None of this is surprising but that doesn’t make it any less despicable.
Blue Cross had refused to pay thousands of claims for the center’s patients, but on several occasions executives at the insurance company had signed special one-time deals with the center to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment.

“Slow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”
Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.
I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

When my daughter went through chemo at two years old, hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills stacked up. While we were very fortunate with our insurance coverage, we also realized firsthand what a gamechanger ACA was for pre-existing conditions. So grateful, for her sake. 💛
The ACA was cool because before the ACA EVERY SINGLE CHILD WITH CANCER hit their annual and lifetime limits almost immediately and were denied insurance for the rest of their lives and after the ACA that’s illegal.
The ACA was cool because before the ACA you could hit your lifetime maximum before you were a month old and be denied insurance for the rest of your life and after the ACA that’s illegal.

Just asked 7 if he could find a bag his sister found recently because I need the charger and he told me he doesn't know where that is because he wasn't in that scene 🤣

7: no, some places give free suckers. And the car place had free popcorn.

When my kid got cancer I was shocked by how little research there was for her disease. There are still so many unknowns with her treatment.
Turning it into a political bargaining tool is salt on a wound most of these decision-makers will never know. Heartbreaking. Unsurprising.

Tonight 7 told me a boy in his class told him people who believe in God go one place and people who don't go to another. 💔
Then he told me this boy also plays with guns a lot so they're not that good of friends.
