#Patientengagement still matters as the world becomes more digital, more connected, and consumers/patients expect healthcare to provide the kind of convenient, interconnected experiences they have in the rest of their lives! #digitalhealth #participatoryhealth

@lady_valor_07 Totally cheap. You know this--it must be click bait. If you have enough money for a $500 meal, you have enough money to tip the wait staff 20%

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic. ~Lea Robertson

BREAKING: For the first time in history the MN Senate voted to ban sale of assault-type weapons and high capacity magazines. The vote was 34-33 along party lines with all Democrats in favor, GOP against. The bill also includes funding for school safety and mental health programs.

The health insurance industry hopes you never hear this: Medicare for All would save the average American family over $12,000 a year. Gone: monthly premiums. No premiums. No deductibles. No copays. No surprise bills. No “out-of-network” traps. No $500 ambulance bill months later. That is why they spend $150 million a year lobbying Congress.

@FluentInFinance Shameful!

BREAKING: Delta Air Lines will no longer offer free snacks or drinks on all flights starting May 19th (under 350 miles). Meanwhile, Delta CEO Ed Bastian received $27.1 million in 2024. Consumers lose, every single time.

@mark_slapinski I'd love to believe this--but do you have proof?

There are tapes of Donald Trump performing sex acts that are so vile, he will immediately be forced to resign from politics once they are shown! Tick Tock!

@jr_tussin I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for thinking of others, even in your grief, by donating her organs.

It's been 3 weeks since my wife had a stroke in her sleep. It was a massive one. She never revived. She survived a week in ICU on machines while medical establishment did their thing. She donated as many organs as possible. One day the tears will stop. Today is not that day.

It should probably be a bigger story that Donald Trump offered John Fetterman a significant “financial windfall” if he switches parties and becomes a Republican. I know nobody bats an eye at the corruption oozing out of this White House anymore, but that’s fucking insane, and we shouldn’t ignore it.

The @PulitzerPrizes decision to award @jkbjournalist a special citation for work she did exposing Epstein a decade ago is an unusual acknowledgment that the Pulitzer Board messed up badly when they ignored her work in the first place after a pressure campaign by Dersh etc.

BREAKING: New polling shows Sherrod Brown leading his Republican opponent by 2 points in Ohio. This race could determine the Senate majority. Retweet to make sure every Ohioan knows to vote for Brown in November.

1/2 Louisiana just interrupted an election where early voting had started. In Alabama, we were saddled with an unconstitutional map for an extra two years after a 2/22 ruling by SCOTUS deemed it too close to the election to do anything about it. Purcell is in the eye of the beholder, not much of a principle.

Why is it that banks & insurance companies & large hospitals-not to mention tech companies-haven't invested in encrypted mail so we can get information containing protected data fast? Needing to send stuff by snail mail is so 20th century. Shouldn't we have secure email by now?

The New York Times recently published leaked Supreme Court memos from 2016, when a majority of justices voted to block the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan before any lower court had ruled on it. Chief Justice Roberts argued the EPA regulations would cause "irreparable harm" through a "substantial and irreversible reordering of the domestic power sector." It was the wrong standard - the lower court hadn't been given a chance to rule. And it was applied with no consideration of the harm the Obama administration would suffer from having its major policy blocked. Now read that against the second Trump administration's record on the same emergency docket. The Trump administration has filed a record number of shadow docket applications and has won 80 percent of the time. The Court has allowed, through this process with little or no written reasoning, mass layoffs at the Education Department, racial profiling in immigration sweeps, and the termination of legal immigration status for hundreds of thousands of people. The "irreparable harm" standard Roberts applied in 2016 - that delay in implementing a desired policy causes sufficient harm to justify emergency intervention - is precisely what he applied to the Obama climate rule. The same standard has since been applied to Trump administration policies that, by any measure, have produced a far greater reordering of American institutions than anything the Clean Power Plan envisioned. The memos reveal something simple: the standard was not principled in 2016. The record since then confirms it still isn't.

I was in the SDNY Press conference when Epstein was arrested. The FBI confiscated tapes, hard drives, photographs of underage girls marked underage girls he had every Room. that’s how he blackmailed everybody. The tapes have never been released but Todd Blanche has seen them. We know he’s seen torture and murder because he told us.

It’s so weird that every time SCOTUS declares racism to be no more than the Ghost of Voter Suppression Past, a bunch of states leap at the chance to do more racist voter suppression.

Yesterday, a federal judge barred Elon Musk's lawyers from arguing that AI could threaten humanity in his lawsuit against OpenAI. OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit focused on developing AI safely. But our recent @NewYorker investigation documented how some researchers at the company have raised concerns about safety being sidelined.

The six Supreme Court Justices who stole the votes and voices of Americans and irreparably harmed our nation's electoral process this week should be pariahs for the rest of their lives. They should not be welcomed where decent people gather.

@cutiieepie6 Completely love it!

-I'm 51 years old and I've been wanting a short haircut; today I took the plunge, but the people close to me don't like my new look and are giving me a hard time. Your opinion means a lot to me. Thank you so much ❤😍

Why did nobody warn you? I can tell you. Late March 2020, I was part of the COVID taskforce of the German Interior Ministry. In our first report from 27 March, we were probably the first in Western countries to warn about long-term sequelae from COVID, based on experience with SARS (2003) and data about COVID from China. We also argued against herd immunity strategy. A few days later, the German government abandoned herd immunity. But we, and I personally, were violently attacked by influential German right-wing media, followed by major mainstream media, including moderate left-wing. A massive defamatory media campaign. My university threatened to fire me (they actually did a few months ago). That's how mainstream media and the academic community silenced those who knew and warned.

THIS is how to discuss abortion and women's health!!!👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 "When you see Rep. Gill’s shit-eating grin, you’ll know exactly who he is. Since Rep. Gill is so interested in our favorite types of abortions, I thought I’d share a few of mine. My favorite type of abortion is the one that prevents a raped ten-year-old from breaking her pelvis in childbirth. I also like abortions that keep women from carrying dead fetuses for weeks on end, which is what happened to Marlena Stell in Rep. Gill’s home state of Texas. My favorite abortions are the kind that stop women from going septic, or prevent 28-year-olds from losing both of their fallopian tubes. Another favorite? The abortion that means a Texas 21-year-old won’t be forced to carry a fetus developing without a head. I like the abortion that means a pregnant mother of five with cervical cancer doesn’t have to beg a hospital panel for chemotherapy. I like the abortion that doesn’t force a woman to travel far from home when faced with a fatal fetal abnormality. I like the abortion that doesn’t force a woman to travel far from home when faced with a fatal fetal abnormality. I really like the abortion that stops patients from having to plead for help in videos made in hospital parking lots. My favorite types of abortions are the ones that allow women to live. Maybe if Candi Miller, or Amber Nicole Thurman, or Tierra Walker had access to abortion, they would still be here. My favorite types of abortions are the ones that allow women to go to college. My favorite types of abortions are the ones that let women leave abusive relationships. My favorite kinds of abortions are the ones that mean women get to choose their own life path, to decide what is best for them, and to figure out if and when they want to start a family. My favorite types of abortions are the ones that allow us to meet the person that we’re supposed to be with. My number one favorite abortion is probably the one that allowed me to meet my husband and for us to have our daughter, who is now 15 years old. Actually, scratch that—my favorite is the abortion that saved my life when my daughter was three, and ensured that she didn't grow up without a mother. So Rep. Gill, it is really hard to choose just one favorite type of abortion. There are so many, and they’re all my favorites. Does that answer your question?"

2022: “Stop overreacting, they won’t overturn Roe.” They did. 2023: “Stop overreacting, they won’t let women die rather than get an abortion.” They did. 2024: “Stop overreacting, they won’t arrest women for miscarriages.” They did. 2025: “Stop overreacting, they won’t turn women into incubators.” They did. 2026: “Stop overreacting, they won’t attack mifepristone.” They did, today. Now: “Stop overreacting, they won’t go after birth control next.” They will.
