Her name is Dr. Elizabeth Potter, a microsurgeon who specializes in complex breast cancer surgery. And this insurance company is now trying to destroy her reputation & bankrupt her surgery center since she spoke out about their practices.
I’m sure you’ll never guess which health insurance company.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

It won't just be Colbert. The Daily Show is next.
Colbert was the the highest rated late night show host. The message is: Emmy's, ratings, and name recognition won't save you. You criticize the oligarchs and this administration, your show is done.

Just a year ago, the U.S. was better at predicting storms’ tracks than it had ever been. But now, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports, the country is rapidly losing state-of-the-art forecasting, just in time for hurricane season’s busiest months:

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

This Supreme Court is not a judicial court, but a royal court.
They exist not to apply the laws of this nation fairly for all its citizens but rather to prop up the king and attend to his needs and his needs alone.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

The federal government could announce tomorrow that it will no longer recognize same-sex marriages and every single person in one would need to sue to enforce the recognition of their marriage. If you can't sue, it won't be recognized.
