Insurance companies aren’t just players in the fight with doctors over money; they’re also the referees. They produce their own guidelines on when to pay claims. If a doctor appeals a denial, insurers make all the initial decisions. By @tchristianmiller.bsky.social

We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes

1 more #econsky. What about #tariff-buyouts to foreign countries. Let them buy down their tariff rate with a one time payment = to their tariff receipts from USA goods ? That goes right to deficit and debt reduction. Just spit balling along for feedback. Good or bad

But, let’s not mince words. The threat we face is vast, coordinated and dangerous. Trump doesn’t run a normal administration — those follow the law. He runs a regime that’s wreaking havoc on our economy, democracy and national security and meant to enrich and protect himself and his friends.

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question. “Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

Hey, I wonder if there's any economic news today. I'll check out the website of America's biggest news network--Fox! Phew. Nothing's up! Biggest news in US today is a very nice Christian woman was slapped for no reason after sticking a camera in a stranger's face & calling her a baby killer.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.
