New paper: every law in America is technically public. But not really, until now!

With @DenisPeskoff at UC Berkeley, we built a corpus of ~every publicly accessibly city and county law, and released a huge chunk of it!

2.2 million laws, you're (probably) covered in it!

I sent this letter to the Editor-in-Chief of Toxicology Reports demanding a full explanation for the removal of a published article examining vaccines and sudden infant death.

Americans have a right to know why scientific papers are removed, who made those decisions, what evidence supported them, and whether the same standards are applied consistently.

We will restore trust in public health by insisting on transparency, accountability, and open scientific inquiry—not by asking the public to accept decisions behind closed doors.

There’s a really nice 3 story beach house in 30A that has a giant banner dedicated to @johnthune and it’s absolutely hilarious. The bottom of it demands that he pass the Save America Act.

For 99.6% of human history:

- Eating was occasional
- Fasting was the default
- Movement was the entire day
- Sunlight was unavoidable
- Sleep followed darkness
- Community was mandatory
- Food was scarce and treasured
- Fat was sacred

Modern life:

- Eating is constant
- Skipping a meal is "disordered"
- Movement is scheduled, paid for, and called exercise
- Sunlight is blocked from March
- Sleep competes with a glowing rectangle
- Community is booked through an app
- Food is abundant and feared
- Fat is the villain in every health leaflet on the wall

We've inverted every variable that ever made a human thrive.

Then we're confused that nobody's thriving.

The species was running optimally for two and a half million years on a setup the modern lifestyle has spent the last seventy years systematically dismantling. The result is the population currently outside, blinking in mild sunlight, holding a bottle of factor 50 in one hand and an antidepressant in the other.

The factory settings still work. Most people have never been allowed to find them.

🚨 Meet Doris, she lives in California and is registered as a 126 year old who has voted in 51 elections and has NO IDEA.

California’s voting system is so corrupt that by simply knocking on the door of the “126 year old” proves election fraud.

EXPOSE IT ALL.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

The United States has created a $1.8 billion fund to stop the weaponization of the United States, which a federal court has now blocked on the grounds that the fund to stop the weaponization is itself the weaponization, so the United States must now un-weaponize the un-weaponization it weaponized to fight a weaponization that remains, as of this filing, alleged.

The fund exists because the government was weaponized against the people, and the way you fix a government that was weaponized against the people is to hand that same government $1.8 billion to decide, by itself, who the government was weaponized against, and the government decided the answer was the government, which is why the government is the victim, and the fund is the apology the government writes to the government, signed by the government, payable to the government.

A judge has stopped the apology. The Department of Justice, which is the weapon, has announced that it disagrees with the ruling that it cannot fund the investigation into whether it is a weapon, but that it will of course comply, because a weapon that complies is not a weapon, it is a fund, and a fund that is blocked is not a fund, it is a distraction, and the official who called it a distraction is the same official who swore the weaponization was real, so the weaponization is real and also a distraction from the weaponization.

The fund was going to investigate the people who weaponized the government, and the people who would run the fund are the people who run the government, and the people who run the government are the people the fund was going to investigate, which is why the fund had to be enormous, because investigating yourself is expensive, and clearing yourself is priceless.

None of this will see a courtroom. A courtroom is where the government would have to explain the government to the government, and the government has already done that privately and accepted its own account. So the matter closes the way these matters close: full confidence expressed, no wrongdoing found, the fund quietly defrosted into something with a duller name. The investigation ends. The weapon keeps its budget. Another $1.8 billion goes to the national debt, the only line in the whole affair that was ever going to be real.

Why does everything feel like theater?

We have a Congress that won't pass something 83% people want.

We have a judicial system that doesn’t hold criminals accountable.

We have an education system that doesn’t educate.

We have a non-profit system that profits from our tax dollars.

We have a health care industry that profits from you staying sick.

We have a financial industry that needs you to stay in debt.

We have an insurance industry that fights every single claim.

It just all feels so fake, so theatrical.

Democrats used their power in the United States Congress to defund investigations against welfare fraud in far blue states.

WOW 🚨 California Democrats introduce bill ‘AB 2669,’ this will give illegals lighter sentences than American citizens and force prosecutors to avoid immigration consequences for illegals who commit crimes

This bill is INSANE

“This one would give preferential sentencing treatment to illegal immigrants — Citizens would be judged harsher than people here illegally. It's Assembly Bill 2669, and you should take a look at it because it says when a prosecutor is deciding whether or how much to charge an illegal immigrant, that they are now going to be required to take into account the possible impact impacts it might have on the illegal immigrant if they're charged with the crime as it relates to their ability to stay in this country. Insane” - California Rep Carl DeMaio

Let me fully break this down

It amends Penal Code Section 1016.3, which already requires:

- Defense counsel to advise noncitizen defendants about immigration consequences of pleas and dispositions.
- Prosecutors to consider avoiding adverse immigration consequences, like deportation, as one factor in plea negotiations “in the interests of justice.”

AB 2669 strengthens this by:

- Requiring prosecutors to meet and confer with the defense specifically to try to avoid adverse immigration consequences of a plea, conviction, or sentence.
- Creating a rebuttable presumption of a violation if the defendant shows they proposed an alternative plea and sentence, even a more serious offense, that would avoid immigration issues and the prosecutor rejected it

It also allowscourts to impose remedies if the prosecutor fails to meet the standard

Democrats are the worst enemy America has. They don’t work for you, they work for foreign invader criminals

[illuminatibot @iluminatibot]

Politicians are paid actors.

Government is written theater.

You have no representation and no democracy.

The sooner you realize this, the sooner we can actually move forward.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WOW! WH anti-fraud task force cochair Andrew Ferguson just broke it down PERFECTLY on fraud:

"Our whole society was designed for a high trust people."

Then we imported the 3rd world.

"The American people rightly expects that their fellow citizens will deal with them and with the government, honestly and fairly."

"That's why for up until the last decade or so shelves in our grocery stores and our pharmacies were open and readily accessible. We weren't accustomed to seeing security guards outside of banks or jewelry stores."

"We didn't have to worry about organized retail theft or industrial scale scammers or the type you all protect your citizens from every day. Nor did we have to worry about fraudsters raiding our benefits program. But sadly, that is no longer true."

"It's become clear that huge groups of people in this country are taking advantage of our longstanding culture of trust to enrich themselves at the expense of the American people. I think a brief example would be illustrative. Just this weekend, I was shopping at a big home improvement store to buy a drill to do some home improvement."

"And I had a call button and wait 15 minutes for a sales associate to come unlock a steel cage and a steel padlock to get access to a drill. It's why deodorant is now locked behind plastic windows at pharmacies. It's why security guards are seen at every store in America."

"The social trust is evaporated and people are taking advantage of it and the same is true with our federal benefits programs."

"Huge segments of the population have decided to take advantage of this generosity and trust of American citizens through deception and fraud and billions and billions of dollars each year."

"Leave our programs into the hands of pirates, fraudsters, scammers and gangs who treat American generosity as little more than a get quick rich scheme."

"We shouldn't have to live this way."

I am the Vice President of Claims Architecture at UnitedHealthcare.

I built nH Predict. I am proud of it. It processes a prior authorization request in nine seconds. A human reviewer takes forty minutes. We handle 3.2 million determinations per quarter. The math was never about accuracy.

I need to say that again because people get confused.

The math was never about accuracy.

nH Predict denies claims at a rate our actuaries determined is optimal for what we call the Persistence Decay Model. The model is simple. It is based on one observation we made in 2019 and confirmed every quarter since: most patients, when denied, do not appeal. They pay out of pocket. They delay the procedure. They choose a different, cheaper treatment. They drive to a different state. They call their mother instead of their doctor. They die, occasionally, but that is a different department's metric.

We call the non-appealing percentage the Abandonment Yield. It is currently 87%. That means for every 100 claims we deny, 87 people simply stop. They absorb the cost. They wait. They decide it wasn't that important. They decide the lump can wait until January. They decide the chest pain was probably nothing.

Of the 13 who appeal, 90% are reversed.

I see people cite that number like it's an indictment. It is a performance metric. It means the system is working. If the reversal rate were 40%, that would mean we were denying claims we couldn't defend. Ninety percent means we are denying claims we can defend. We simply choose not to, because the appeal costs us $311 in administrative processing and the average denial saves us $4,200 across the 6.4-day resolution window.

The 6.4 days is the design. Not the denial. The delay.

Every day a patient waits for a reversal is a day they are not receiving care we will eventually authorize. Some percentage give up during the wait. Some find the money elsewhere. Some are admitted through the emergency department, which is a different billing code and a different denial pathway. Some call their congressman. I don't track what happens to the people. I track what happens to the claim.

The Friction Calibration team reports to me. Four actuaries, two behavioral economists, one UX researcher who used to design engagement loops at a mobile gaming company. She was my best hire. She understood immediately. The appeals portal is not a portal. It's a level. Every screen is a gate. Every gate has a timer. The upload button requires a file format we changed last quarter. The confirmation page has a 90-second timeout. The status tracker shows "In Review" for 6.4 days regardless of whether anyone is reviewing.

She designed the scroll depth. The denial letter is 4.7 pages. The appeal instructions begin on page 4. She tested this with focus groups. The average patient stops reading at page 2. The average patient over 65 stops at page 1. She called this the Resolve-or-Release threshold. She got promoted.

There was a grandmother in Tucson. I read about her in an internal case study our team prepared for the quarterly review. She needed a knee replacement. nH Predict denied it in nine seconds. She appealed. We reversed it in 6.4 days. In those 6.4 days she fell. Hip fracture. The hip surgery was a different claim. nH Predict denied it in nine seconds. She appealed again.

The case study was titled "Sequential Determination Efficiency." It demonstrated that a single patient can generate multiple denial-and-appeal cycles, each with its own Abandonment Yield probability. The cumulative attrition rate across three sequential denials is 99.2%. Meaning: if we deny you three times in sequence, there is a 99.2% chance you stop asking before you receive all authorized care.

I presented this at a conference. The audience was claims administrators from four major insurers. They applauded. They asked for our API documentation.

We process 3.2 million determinations per quarter. Nine seconds each. The algorithm has never examined a patient. It has never read a chart. It has never listened to a heartbeat or palpated a lump or asked someone to describe their pain on a scale of one to ten.

It has a 90% reversal rate. It has an 87% abandonment yield. It processes $14 billion in denied claims annually. It generates $9.8 billion in what we call "persistence-adjusted savings."

The appeals take 6.4 days. The algorithm takes nine seconds.

That is the product.

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

Let me say it loud for the retards in the back who keep rewriting history:

President Trump was advised to lock the country down for two weeks to slow the curve. He listened. Republican-led states reopened and got back to work. Democrat-led states stayed shut down for over a year.
Trump repeatedly pleaded with those blue-state governors to reopen their economies. They refused. Their goal was clear: tank the Trump economy so they could blame him for the damage. Millions lost jobs and livelihoods because of it.

Democrat governors chose to send sick COVID patients into nursing homes — a decision that killed thousands of our elderly. That was their choice, not Trump’s.
They lectured him: “Don’t tell me how to run my state, Trump! Don’t overstep your authority!” While encouraging people to snitch on their neighbors for not following the rules.

Operation Warp Speed happened under President Trump. The vaccines were developed a few years prior. Democrats originally scoffed: “I’m not taking a Trump vaccine.”

Then Biden and Democrats stole the election, forced vaccine mandates, and suddenly, it was “safe and effective” — take it or lose your job. Blue states cheered and reopened.

Don’t twist the history. Those of us who lived through 2020-2024 remember exactly what happened.

Hey @Tim_Walz and @IlhanMN one of the biggest fraud bust in Minnesota history took place this week and you guys said nothing

Shouldn’t you guys celebrate when fraud is exposed in your state and district?

Or are you upset because it was exposed? Silence speaks volumes.
