Interesting. We hear so much about isolated and disaffected young men who turn to guns -- this article seems to suggest a different way in which the same lack of connection plays out for some women. Not making excuses for anyone, mind you...
Yvonne and Tammy used to call themselves Christians. But years after participating in the January 6 insurrection, they believe in New Age conspiracies about shape-shifting reptiles and humans living in computer simulations.

The fact that the American president’s former best friend is helping Russia blackmail the president should be a far bigger story than it is.
It should be on the front page of every major news outlet

This 1992 video shows what Trump has always been. He sees a random 10-year old girl on an escalator and immediately thinks of "dating," sex. Despite "in 10 years," no one who is NOT attracted to a child would make such a statement on impulse. #epstein #trump #pedo

Easy for me to advocate this since I'm a resident of Van Hollen Land, but yeah, a NO WEAKLINGS rally at Schumer's house might be a good idea.

Trump is a billionaire who is trying to take your health care away by pitting you against brown people who are not even eligible for ACA subsidies. He wants vulnerable white people fighting vulnerable brown people, so that no one pays attention to the billionaire trying to consolidate power.

I sure am glad we have a president who will send a pilot making $80k/yr to kill a Colombian fisherman making $3k/yr in a boat worth $500 with a missile that costs $1,000,000 to keep the public from learning about all the times he sexually assaulted underage human trafficking victims.

And of course United Healthcare is behind it. I knew they'd be in there somehow.
According to insurance documents reviewed by NBC News, the Benz-Bushlings’ insurance plan uses a set of guidelines called InterQual that are produced by Optum, a division of UnitedHealthcare.”

After a suicide attempt, doctors told the Benz-Bushlings their son needed residential mental health treatment. Their insurance said that level of care was “not medically necessary.”
Their son was ‘too unstable to function outside of hospital.’ Insurance denied his mental health treatment anyway.

A word of praise for Johns Hopkins Medicine, which is terminating its network agreement with United Healthcare -- and rightly so, as United Healthcare is the absolute worst, with the preauthorization/denial runaround causing serious consequences for family members' health. 1/2
