Insurance denied my friend’s MRI last month.

Doctor ordered it. Said it was medically necessary.

Insurance said they needed more documentation.
Doctor sent more documentation.
Insurance said they needed a peer to peer review.

Peer to peer happened.

Insurance denied it again.
My friend paid $2,400 out of pocket.
The person who denied it was not a doctor.

Was not reviewed by a doctor.
Was an algorithm trained to find reasons to say no.

This is legal.
This is standard practice.

This happens 50,000 times a day in America.

[Amber Woods @AmberWoods100]

The FBI still has 40 terabytes of video seized from Jeffrey Epstein’s properties.

The public has never seen it.

Survivors have told me the full release matters because they were drugged and cannot remember the full scope of what was done to them—or who all was there.

The evidence exists.

So why are survivors still being denied the truth?

In 2025 a whistleblower alleged that DOGE copied the entire Social Security database and moved it to an unsecured server.

let's talk about what's in that database.

every living American with a Social Security number. names. Social Security numbers. dates of birth. addresses. citizenship status. parents' names. employment history. medical information.

300 million people.

the whistleblower is Charles Borges, the former chief data officer of the Social Security Administration. he filed a formal complaint and was then forced to "involuntarily resign."

his complaint alleges:

— DOGE employees created a live copy of the Social Security database in a cloud environment that bypassed all standard security controls
— the copy had "no verified audit or oversight mechanisms" as of late June
— nobody could verify who had accessed it or what they were doing with it
— a DOGE employee agreed to help a political advocacy group match Social Security data against state voter rolls to search for voter fraud
— a separate DOGE staffer allegedly retained copies of two databases on a personal thumb drive and claimed to have "God-level" access to SSA systems

the Social Security Administration's response: "we are not aware of any compromise."

the OIG, the House Oversight Committee, and the Senate are all now investigating.

that's the largest dataset of American personal information ever created.

on a server.

with no verified oversight.

operated by people who no longer work there.

@adamscochran The right was convinced Joe Biden was dead and/or replaced with a clone. Where are they now?

They’re doing this because if McConnell is dead and the public finds out before August, Massie would likely run for, and win, the seat. And the last thing these people want is Massie

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

New reports from McConnell’s neighbor:

-Days before ambulance call he was seen in wheelchair, pale, mouth slacked open, being carted around by staffers.

-Day of 911 call, neighbor saw him loaded into ambulance and confirms:

—His eyes were closed and he was not moving.

—There WAS oxygen tubes running up to his face and nose.

—His staffers were crying.

—No sirens in the emergency vehicle.

This tweet from a year ago has been deleted by its author. I'm posting here now as a reminder and as a public service, for anyone, should they ever need it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If it turns out Mitch McConnell is dead and the GOP are involved in a coverup to prevent a special election that is mandated by Kentucky law, people need to go to prison.

Full stop.

Flock isn't the only concern.

Ever heard of the 'Axon Lightpost?'

It’s a networked surveillance node with microphones, cameras, and real‑time feeds. Flock tracks plates, Axon LP tracks everything around them.

2 companies, 1 goal...
The normalization of total surveillance.

SportsCenter is putting the spotlight on a man who raped a woman so badly she needed a tampon surgically removed. They're putting laughing emojis.

I still don't understand what they say by 'rape allegations ruin your life' when I look at trump or McGregor.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Notice the sequence, because it matters. Vance didn't repeat a rumor he mistakenly believed. He was told directly by Springfield's city manager that the pet eating claim was baseless, and he amplified it to eleven million views anyway. That's not an error. That's a choice, made by a man who has spoken openly about his faith shaping his politics.

The part that should bother anyone paying attention isn't just the hoax. It's what happened when the hoax got debunked within eight days. The women whose Facebook posts started it apologized, having realized their claims were rumor. Vance never did. He offered instead an admission that he "creates stories," a euphemism for lying, dressed up as media strategy.

Now the TPS protections that hoax helped justify politically are actually ending, with real people losing the legal right to work as of today. Whatever problems existed in Springfield, and there were some, real strain on clinics and services, were already being covered honestly before Vance decided the truth needed embellishing. He chose the lie anyway, and the lie became policy.

The Israeli government is lying to cover up for 4 IDF soldiers who aided violent settlers brandishing M4 guns and threatening American lives. I am calling for their arrest and prosecution.

I have met with Israeli hostages and condemned the brutal, terrorist attacks of Oct 7. That does excuse the IDF from detaining American citizens.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🇺🇸 🇵🇸 Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student at Birzeit University, remains in Israeli detention after soldiers seized her from her family’s home near Ramallah at 3 a.m. on June 2, with lawmakers warning her life is at risk.

Safi, whose family lives in Florida, was taken without charge and transferred to Ofer prison, then to the Moscovia interrogation center in Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. Her family says she has a chronic condition that causes fevers up to 105°F and requires daily medication and a quarterly injection she travels abroad to receive.

She was one of five Palestinian women detained that week, including two members of the Palestinian women’s national football team. The Israeli military said the women were suspected of “promoting terrorist activities.”

Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Van Hollen have both demanded her release. “I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans,” Van Hollen said. Israel has not told her family or the U.S. embassy where she is being held. Rep. Tlaib said, “Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!”

Saying "kids will find a way around the Under‑16s social media ban" is a stupid criticism of the policy.

The ban was never designed to stop kids. It was designed to go after YOUR BIOMETRIC DATA, and you're not going to fight back in response?

I love how nobody voted for or even asked cities/towns about Flock cameras. They just started popping up everywhere. Who approved them, and how did they do it without public approval?
