After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs. His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims. (Published Feb. 2023)

Crowds of brave people have surrounded the ICE detention centre in Los Angeles. They are trying to liberate victims kidnapped by Trump’s regime forces. Victims were abducted and thrown into the basement of the building without due process. #3E

The President of California’s largest union, David Huerta, was targeted and kidnapped by ICE during their illegal raids in Los Angeles. Huerta is a US citizen. He stood his ground against the regime troops terrorizing the city. #3E

Trump is now boycotting Tesla. He is reportedly getting rid of the Tesla he bought from Musk, plans to sell it or give it away. #TeslaTakeDown

Commentary: "Trump’s betrayal of the veterans community is unforgivable. But it is not unanswerable. We are answering. In protest. In court. In the media. At the ballot box." Today, June 6 — D-Day — thousands will rally across the country to protest.

Russia has carried out more terrorist attacks on Kyiv, Ukraine, even targeting first responders who were trying to save victims. This is what Ukraine endures daily. Ukraine hits military equipment with 0 civilian casualties, Russia hits innocent men, women and children.

For those looking to pick sides (or seeking to pull one in as an ally): if these two are your enemies, then the enemy of your enemy is still your enemy.

Congressional Republicans are openly attacking Elon Musk like never before after the billionaire Tesla founder claimed President Trump is "in the Epstein files" and even called for him to be impeached.

In a single afternoon, Musk called for President Trump's impeachment and accused him of being "in the Epstein files." In turn, Trump threatened to cancel billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies.

First acknowledgement Israel using armed gangs, which aid groups have accused of stealing aid from trucks.

Weird how Republicans say they’re worried about Big Tech and government overreach...until it’s Elon Musk. We tried to subpoena him over privacy concerns and data abuse. They blocked us. They’re not doing oversight—they’re doing cover-ups.

Musk dropped his “big bomb” on Trump. Now Steve Bannon is getting Trump’s response ready.

So... as beef continues, a look back at a piece that our WIRED readers are reading... Elon Musk appears to have worked in the US without authorization. Could he have his citizenship revoked?

Here we go... @meidastouch.com @maddow.msnbc.com @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social @profgalloway.com @karaswisher.bsky.social @adamkinzinger.bsky.social @briantylercohen.bsky.social @joncooper-us.bsky.social @normornstein.bsky.social @gregsargent.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

Ouch. The first messy break-up of Pride month is escalating. Elon better start spilling the tea before he gets deported to an El Salvadoran prison.

Again, Dems need to be publicly fanning these flames. Opportunities abound with big egos... www.cnbc.com/2025/06/05/t... @meidastouch.com @gregsargent.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @mollyjongfast.bsky.social @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social @briantylercohen.bsky.social

What if putting the stupidest people in charge was a mistake?

If Dems are smart, they will feed into this ego spat... @democracydocket.com @housedemocrats.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @meidastouch.com

We need details on this.

Things that make you go, hmm...

Women are being hunted down like animals in Texas

Donald Trump’s own Treasury nominee wouldn’t answer basic questions about this administration’s tax policies, so let me explain: They’re slashing health care coverage for families to fund tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations.

A nearly 90% funding cut proposed by the Trump administration would likely shut down and devastate the 37 tribal colleges and universities created to serve the students disadvantaged by the nation’s historic mistreatment of Indigenous communities.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

A top coronavirus vaccine adviser at the CDC has resigned, citing concerns that she could no longer help vulnerable people after officials rescinded recommendations to immunize children and pregnant women.

Yikes

Can the sane among us agree — there would be far fewer of us alive today if RFK Jr. had been HHS Secretary in 2020? 🚨 CDC official overseeing COVID-19 vaccine recommendations resigns

What the hell...Felons performing police duties. We can't get any lower. How disgraceful !

Are we great yet?

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

Ro Khanna: "Now they want to censor everyone's social media. And then they're lecturing the foreign countries about free speech?"

Over 1,400 No Kings events are planned in all 50 states and abroad. We truly have the opportunity to make June 14 (the day of Trump’s military birthday parade) one of the biggest days of mass protest of our lifetimes, but we need everyone who's able standing with us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Gifted this important article about the impact of Trump’s targeting America’s universities and cutting funding. We are at a dangerous time for our future as an innovator. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

The Trump administration’s cost-cutting measures are having real impacts on people’s health, including that of 9-year-old Colton George. He was one of 80 people sickened by a recent E. coli outbreak that was never publicized after the FDA investigation.

New in PN: The real cover-up is of Trump's disordered mental state "Despite the endless handwringing about Biden Old, a sitting president acting like a cross between a 4Chan thread and Q truly is a major concern — one the mainstream media actively minimizes."

Trump wakes up trashing Rand Paul.

COOL!
