Moderator: Next question, how do you feel about Hasan Piker.
Newsom: He's an antisemite and I strongly disavow his views on Israel.
Trump (running illegal for a third term): Well you know. He's a good looking guy. Good looking, handsome guy. I can see why people like him.
Imagine this.
You’re a Palestinian man walking with your child in Jerusalem.
Then they appear:
IDF soldiers starting to beat you in front of your child.
All because you walked too close to a Jewish-only area.
That is pure apartheid.
Zohran Mamdani: “I would not recognize any state’s right to exist with a system of hierarchy on the basis of race or religion... And part of that is because I’m an American who believes in the importance of equal rights being enshrined in every single country.”
My favorite scene in the new Superman film is when he intercepts an off-course Iranian Fattah hypersonic missile and redirects it straight into the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange
Standing beside Trump is Howard Lutnick, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime neighbor who bought his townhome from a trust controlled by Epstein and Les Wexner
Brilliant optics
Chinese people would call this 杀人诛心, "to annihilate their heart after killing them." It's not enough for the US to be actively supporting the genocide of a people. It also needs to insert its particular cultural fantasy to be the savior and idol of those it has killed.
An American was beaten to death by Israeli settlers backed by the military. Instead of pursuing justice for Sayfollah, our government continues to send billions to prop up the apartheid system that killed him and kills Palestinians like him every day. Arms Embargo Now.
I’m sharing an actual recent peer-to-peer call that shows what physicians and patients face when trying to get a surgery approved. This call felt as absurd as it sounds.
The peer-to-peer call was to advocate for surgery to prevent and treat lymphedema for a patient with breast cancer. Her risk is high and we can perform a surgery to lower it.
The doctors from the insurance company on the call were an ophthalmologist with a subspecialty in oculoplastic surgery and a plastic surgeon who currently has a cosmetic practice. Neither doctor has ever performed lymph venous bypass…the surgery I was trying to get approved for my patient.
Neither doctor would provide their name or license number.
At the conclusion of the call, the doctors told me that they didn’t have the power to make a determination or decision to perform the surgery. They were just there to inform me of United’s decision to deny it.
The Medical Decision was not up to the doctors on the call. It had already been made by United.
So here I am, appealing again.
Medical decisions should be made by doctors who are well informed and patient-centered. Patients deserve access to the care that they paid for with their premiums.
