Cole Schmidtknecht, 22, had insurance but couldn’t afford to refill his asthma inhaler after the cost jumped from $70 to more than $500.
Five days after his pharmacy visit last year, Cole had a severe asthma attack and died.

Blocked lol. They'd written a very measured review:

"And now on Channel 4, a new show in which people who aren't very good at it, knit objectively awful things to ruin the reputation of the craft forever" #GameOfWool

Wish I'd had a drink for every "iconic", I'd have been comatose after 20m.

Only ones to emerge with dignity intact: Holger, and the two dogs modelling outfits in round 1. All 3 treating it with the utter disdain it deserves

And I still don't know who this programme is for? They still aren't explaining stuff for non knitters, and treating crochet and knitting as 'every knitter can do both' and wits therefore the same, is disingenuous for knitters and non knitters alike. #gameofwool

This week, on #GameofWool:

"I'm not a very experienced knitter"
"This is my first time crocheting"
"I've never done intarsia"
"Your stitches are twisted"

Ugh there's so many things wrong with Game of Wool, but the fact they randomly added flashing lights to the "catwalk" this week meant I couldn't even watch that section. It's a shame, I want to watch to support the people who took a chance on the show - but it's just not good.

Who imposed tariffs?
Who cut immigration, destroying the ag workforce?
Who undermined the Fed?
Who halted renewable energy?
Who's running deficits?
Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

Hey @democrats.senate.gov don't ever send me another fundraising letter, email or phone call again.
Congressional Democrats are livid after a handful of their Senate colleagues voted Sunday to end the government shutdown. Chris Murphy called it a mistake. Bernie Sanders called it “a very bad night.” And Ro Khanna and Seth Moulton accused Chuck Schumer of being ineffective & called for his removal.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

I voted NO tonight—because we have to address the MAGA health care hike.

By refusing to work with Democrats on a solution before open enrollment started, Republicans have already pushed millions of Americans off the health care cliff.

Give Trump Epstein Island, make him the king of it, and rename it Shithole Country.
The whistleblower's letter lays out how Maxwell is preparing to have Trump commute her 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein’s sex crimes.

Trump already had Maxwell transferred to a cushy prison pedophiles aren’t eligible for so she keeps his secret.

Ghislaine Maxwell is an unrepentant child sex predator. So why would an American President even consider commuting her sentence? This would be a national disgrace.
