Fun fact about US healthcare: After the horror of the DC Guard shooting, victims' families might be on the hook for hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in medical and rehab expenses. Tricare only covers deployments over 30 days, and their deployment was also illegal.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊
