Trust in public health did not collapse for no reason. It collapsed because officials like Dr. Fauci were making decisions about your life while hiding financial ties to the companies that profited from those decisions.
My Royalty Transparency Act is simple: if you work for the federal government and are collecting royalties from Big Pharma, the public deserves to know. Conflicts of interest don’t disappear because you refuse to report them.
Minnesota democrats Tim Walz and Keith Ellison will pardon a child rapist to make sure he can stay in America.
The fact that Amy Klobuchar will not criticize this or anything else these guys have done to destroy Minnesota is all you need to know to vote for her opponent.
@DrBruggeman I recently consulted on a med mal case involving a new grad DNP making a critical medication error. Patient surprised to discover the “doctor” wasn’t an MD.
Lukewarm take: we need to stop using mental health/therapy buzzwords in day to day life. Not everyone you dislike is a narcissist. Being sad doesn’t mean you’re depressed. There’s a resounding difference between being nervous and having anxiety. You’re not ADHD because you don’t like to sit still. You’re not autistic because you’re quirky. OCD doesn’t mean you’re organized. And for the love of all that is holy, not every situation that made you uncomfortable is “trauma”.
Amid the revelation that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison met with and took bribes from Somali fraudsters, it has now been revealed that his son has been collecting a $110,000 salary and extorting taxpayers out of a $57,000 living-expense stipend from the Minneapolis City Council while attending Harvard University.
The state government of Minnesota has fallen.
455 people just got charged in a $6.5B healthcare fraud takedown.
Independent physicians need 14 passwords, 3 portals, prior auth, chart audits, recoupments, and divine intervention to get paid $87.
Fraudsters apparently just needed a billing company and confidence.
That’s the system.
Hey @MNSure, why are you wasting everyone’s time and money having applicants call just to “unverify” wages from a job in 2024. Don’t you have access to current MN tax returns? Oh that’s right, …. @KRobbinsMN
I know from firsthand experience that the doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Learning & Emotional Assessment Program (MGH-LEAP) have been handing families a clear, comprehensive & detailed roadmap since at least 2017.
BUT schools? They straight-up ignore #ChildFind and #FAPE under the federal IDEA, then shove families into the rigged “Due Process” circus—where state-contracted hearing officers reliably rule for their employer while kids, families, and America get screwed.
Doctors can’t fix that level of systemic corruption, but rigorous forced compliance — or a federal audit of state education agencies’ (e.g., Minnesota) IDEA block grants — could make education great again for every American child.

I will never stop exercising my Constitutional rights to stand up to the man destroying Minnesota and the freedoms we hold dear.
You call the judge quashing federal grand jury subpoenas “a victory for the rule of law and our democracy.”
We’re a Constitutional Republic, Governor - and many Minnesotans aren’t celebrating a Bush-appointed judge quashing the subpoenas a federal grand jury issued. Let’s be honest: the judge didn’t declare the whole investigation “unconstitutional and meritless.” His ruling is especially nothing to celebrate given his long history of donating to groups that provide legal aid to illegal immigrants.
I’m not proud of our Nebraska-born Governor - the one with a big heart for China - gleefully defying federal immigration law and comparing the ICE operation to Fort Sumter and “civil war.” Nothing about your actions make America great.
Isn’t it funny how an “independent judiciary” is only a pillar when it rules your way? When it doesn’t, suddenly it’s “politically motivated” and “unconstitutional.”
The U.S. DOJ is pursuing real criminal investigations - like how you and your pals defied federal immigration enforcement and shielded illegals during the ICE operation, plus the countless fraud scandals you’re up to your eyeballs in.
You didn’t seem to care about Constitutional freedoms or the rule of law when you implemented COVID snitch lines, when BLM riots burned unchecked, when your administration was silencing and intimidating whistleblowers, when your side silenced citizens’ speech on social media, or when you rammed through a new flag against widespread public opposition because you decided our history was “racist.”
It’s your administration’s lawlessness that Minnesotans see daily.
I will never stop exercising my Constitutional rights to call out Mao Walz and fight for actual Minnesotans who are tired of the fraud, the chaos, the national embarrassment, and the endless bullshit excuses.
This is far from over - and you know that. Enjoy your temporary shield and moral grandstanding while you can.👌🏻
My wife and I own Forest Park Pharmacy, and we don't accept insurance. None of it. That decision is exactly why we could fix what happened to a patient today.
A family came in wanting to transfer their kid's antibiotic to us. The child had already STARTED the course. Then, mid-treatment, the insurance company decided the last 14 tablets suddenly needed a "prior authorization" before the other pharmacy could hand them over. A sick kid, halfway through an antibiotic, and the answer was "please hold."
The drug is linezolid. It's a generic. It's been generic for over a decade. It treats serious gram-positive infections — the kind you do NOT want to stop antibiotics in the middle of, because an interrupted course is how you breed resistant bugs and end up right back where you started.
So why the hold-up on a cheap, common generic? Follow the fake math.
Insurance and the PBMs behind them price drugs off a number called AWP — "Average Wholesale Price." People in my industry have another name for it: "Ain't What's Paid." It's a benchmark number, not a real-world cost. On paper, the AWP for just those last 14 tablets is about $2,500.
My cash price for the same 14 tablets? $18.
Read that again. The system that's supposedly "protecting" this family from cost is the same system that inflated an $18 medication into a $2,500 line item, then slapped a prior auth on it to "review the expense" THEY invented. They manufactured the problem, then billed everyone for the privilege of solving it — and made a sick kid wait while they did it.
This is the whole game. When a drug is priced honestly, there's nothing to "manage." When it's priced off a fantasy benchmark, you get spread pricing, PA paperwork, pharmacy phone trees, and delayed treatment — all dressed up as cost control.
Here's the part nobody tells you: roughly 90% of prescriptions are low-cost generics. For the vast majority of what people pick up every day, running it through insurance does two things — raises the real cost and risks delaying your care. That's it. That's the value-add.
That's why we fired the insurance companies. No middleman deciding your kid can't finish their antibiotics on schedule. No fake prices. Just the real number, on the shelf, today.
The medication was always cheap. The insurance was the expensive part.
We can agree to disagree in America. 🇺🇸
My privately schooled 2e daughter resumed full in-person learning in Fall 2020 and thrived — even after catching COVID from her pod’s teacher.
Meanwhile, teachers’ unions’ aggressive push for prolonged school closures inflicted undeniable harm on millions of children’s academic progress, social development, mental health, and future opportunities.
Personal experience proves that parental choice and in-person evidence-based instruction work. The data confirms it. Kids paid the price for the adults’ bad policy, corruption, and perverse incentives.
One can't stress enough how the poor preparation of teachers by their teacher preparation programs is the root of many of the problems in our educational system.
If we want to significantly improve education, teacher preparation programs will have to place greater emphasis on effective teaching and a set higher minimum standard for their graduates.
@mtaibbi Just imagine if THIS were our first female president. It would set the entire sex back 150 years and people would use her to justify reversing women's suffrage.
🚨 Reading scores will stay in the gutter and parents will NEVER have real power over the classroom as long as teachers are systematically indoctrinated in U.S. Colleges of Education.
The problem isn’t a few ‘bad apples’ — it’s the factory producing them 👉 https://t.co/cNXXo3zW6b — and the U.S. government knows it.
Trump needs to demand that Congress overhaul America’s failing, taxpayer-funded Colleges of Education. These institutions have been captured by Marxist ideology, churning out activist teachers instead of competent educators — all on our dime.
Time to defund the indoctrination factories and restore real teacher training!
