Guess we are paying $8,500 for a month of my bf's meds (that he has been receiving free through a program for 2 years) because #UnitedHealthcare denied coverage and is dragging out the appeal process, even though all of the correct info about other meds not working was included the 1st time.

Are there any Republicans left who are uncomfortable with the idea of being on the same side as the fascists and Putin vs. the democratic free world? If so, they better speak up now or live forever in infamy.

My boyfriend unfortunately has #UnitedHealthcare, and they are denying coverage of ulcerative colitis meds because they want him to try another first. When he pointed out that he had and it was noted in the file, their response was 🤷♀️. File an appeal.

BF is taking a med that is $1800 per month out of pocket. Under my insurance, it would be $30 per month. Under his (United Healthcare), it is $325 per month.
The whole system is so screwed up.

Lost my CDC contract after a visit from DOGE. I feel like I’m in the dirt (or TBH eating a pint of ice cream on a couch crying). But here’s the thing: Pushing people down—especially those with heart, purpose, and love for public service—doesn’t mean they stay down. It’s literally against their DNA.

This is Musk's new pinned tweet.
- It's Latin meaning "no one provokes me and gets away with it."
- He attributes it to Sulla, the Roman general who marched on Rome, named himself dictator and launched a notorious reign of terror, executing much of the city's elite.
- It's never linked to Sulla.

So every time a BIPOC or woman gets a job over a white man, the mediocre who man that didn't get the job can call for an investigation because these clowns believe the most accomplished woman or person of color is inferior to the superiority their sex and skin color affords them.
Today several Fed Govt contacts sent me a memo from the Acting AG that says:
1) All DEI programs are cancelled
2) Federal employees Must report "disguised" DEI within 10 days & failure to do so will result in "adverse consequences."
