When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied. You have a right to see this file.

Dr. Bryant Lin created a 10-week medical school course at Stanford University — “From Diagnosis to Dialogue: A Doctor’s Real-Time Battle With Cancer” — because he was given a terminal diagnosis. He wanted his students to understand the humanity at the core of medicine. What a gift to his students.

I know @sarahstankorb.bsky.social and she is a thorough reporter. We have crossed paths while working on similar projects. Both GOP and Democratic women should call their Senators right now about this bill — at minimum to push for including name change documents as legally accepted paperwork.

This is where our collective attention should be—the end of the Constitution. This sentence says it all: “Constitutionally speaking, finding the White House in contempt of court is like describing a new color.”

This is a major conflict of interest. We need Musk OUT of the government, not more firmly entrenched.

There definitely are two people operating as President right now. I was not aware they are to be referred to jointly as President Trumps, but here we have the collective wisdom of their lawyers.

In the midst of this hair-on-fire political season, I was refreshed by the innovative ideas in this article/podcast with @repauchincloss.bsky.social and @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. We need more thinkers like this to question our status quo, but do so with *actual plans*—not “concepts of plans.”

It’s astonishing and shameful that this is our nation’s official position.

Remember folks, if you've chosen in your reporting to identify the unconfirmed gender of the pilot flying at the time of an accident you have to do it for every incident and accident going forward. That's the rules. That's equality.

The judge is right to refute the idea that this is a victimless crime. Churches need to know the high recidivism rates of those who possess and watch CSAM. These images recorded CRIMES. The church’s first concern should be for the vulnerable, not the perpetrator.

Been covering the SBC since 2008. When I started, SBC leaders denied abuse was an issue n their churches and said there was nothing they could do about it. That changed--largely because abuse survivors kept telling their stories until they could not be ignored.

Well deserved! Congrats! 🎉

When I finished listening to GHOSTED by @nancyfrench.bsky.social, I felt I was leaving a conversation with a good friend. Her compelling narratives explored childhood trauma, hilarious mishaps, enduring marital love, political hit-and-runs, and institutional stonewalling and betrayal. A must read!
