@RyanceyReturns @HighJon Obviously you have never attended a Fever game.

@HighJon Who knows, maybe one day they'll be able to draw a crowd

This girl’s laid out by the pool, sun on her face, talking like she’s just unwinding… calling it her “Sophie Cunningham me time” with that easy smile like nothing really touched her today. But a few hours earlier she was in the middle of practice, running with the squad, pace high, bodies colliding. She drives through the lane and gets hit hard—one of those fouls meant to stop you cold. Except it doesn’t. They bounce off her. She keeps moving like it barely registered, no reaction, no slowdown… just toughness that doesn’t ask for attention. And here she is later, laughing by the pool like that moment and this one carry the same weight. Like the hits don’t shake her, they just get absorbed into the routine. Do you think that kind of toughness shows up naturally… or is it built in moments nobody else sees?

@Osint613 Make America Learn Math Again. For God’s sake they’re stupid.

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

@CaptMarkKelly He has 34 felony convictions. You stated the obvious truth.

The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.

@PressSec He looks totally lost. Out of it.

Rest assured - our great Secretary of State is always monitoring the situation 🫡

@3D_Orville I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think that would be legally enforceable.

A potential new job wants me to sign an agreement that says I cannot work for another additive manufacturing company within 5 years of leaving them. Is this unreasonable, or just new to me? It feels unreasonable. This is my trade, if they terminate me, I SOL???

@SenToddYoung That and we need to elect people we trust. A big problem today when many of our elected officials, like you, work for Trump and not their constituents.

Only 17% of Americans say they trust the federal government. One way to restore trust is to ensure that public servants cannot use their positions to enrich themselves and their families.

@SecKennedy Eradicate measles (again). We have the vaccine and it proven safe.

We’re going to identify the causes of chronic disease and how to eliminate the exposures that are generating this giant epidemic.

@SenRandPaul It makes a lot of things better and cheaper for the working class in America. The rich pay more though, which is why the GOP fights it when the overwhelming majority of Americans are in favor of it.

Explaining to a socialist that big government will never make anything better or cheaper:

@NasheCeezet_zw Every time I’m sitting in an exam room during a lengthy wait I just pause and give thanks that I am not the reason my doctor is late.

My doctor was always 45 mins late, every visit. No apology it’s just "Take a seat." Last time I waited 1 hour 20 mins then I left. Then wrote a google review. I wasn’t mean but just honest: "Always late, brings a book."2 stars. He called me that night from his personal cell. "You think I'm late because I don't respect your time?" I said "...yes?"

@FBIDirectorKash It’d be real easy to shut all the talk down by taking a breathalyzer every day when you clock in.

Under President Trump’s leadership, this FBI and this Department of Justice have had the most prolific year of crime reduction in U.S. history - and we will continue breaking criminal networks and enterprises every day across this country. And we do not care what the fake news mafia says in the process.

@MargoMartin47 @realDonaldTrump Another fast food buffet?

President @realDonaldTrump hosts Texas A&M Women’s Volleyball at the White House for winning the 2025 National Championship! 🇺🇸

@BobsFunGirl Grew up listening to the show all the way through the Cancer Sucks podcasts. Thousands of hours of laughs to say the least. That podcast helped me get through my own bout with cancer and other major illnesses. You both seem like fantastic people. My condolences.

Can I please retweet my husband's distinctive laugh a million times? I can't bear the thought of never hearing it again...

@ThrillaRilla369 $15 minimum

You're eating out and the bill is $74 - what are you tipping? Be honest, I'm trying to prove a point.

@SecKennedy Eradicate measles.

We have a sick care system where people get compensated more for keeping patients sick. We need to align the economic incentives with the outcome of good health for all Americans.

@whittler_e To be fair, sometimes she’s just stupid.

FACT: There is NO point in listening to Karoline Leavitt. All she does is lie. Her job is to lie.

@dutchessprim What do you bet he says he’ll be releasing the Book of Donald in two weeks?

Trump is gonna do a live Bible reading on Tuesday. Bro can’t even get through his daily briefings unless they include pictures. This is gonna be epic.

@paulthenshirley It all matters. Authoritarians want us all to not pay attention.

I’m coming off three weeks of travel that took me to Nashville, Los Angeles, Des Moines, Kansas City, and Meriden, and I am simultaneously exhausted and invigorated. I saw old friends, met new ones, had ideas that were both good and bad, and even remembered to write down some of each. One thing I didn’t do was PAY ATTENTION. That is to say, I couldn’t tell you a g*dd*mn thing about what’s happening in the “world.” Are we at war? Is the economy in good shape? Bad shape? I don’t know! And none of it matters. We’ve been sold this idea that we need to PAY ATTENTION. And I guess, like, occasionally check in, if you have to. But the sneaky truth is that what passes as the “news” is yet another stimulus designed not to inform you, but instead to scare you into distraction and then, into consumption. (Not tuberculosis. Buying sh*t.) Consider this, then, your permission to not PAY ATTENTION. If it all goes sideways, you’ll know soon enough. In the meantime, go talk to people. Have an idea. Throw your phone in the ocean. Live more, get scared less, and stop PAYING ATTENTION.

@johnarnold Also, EVERY local coffee shop I have ever patronized has been better than Starbucks. I truly don’t get it.

Do the people in the 15 cars backed up at the Starbucks drive-thru not realize that if they park and walk in, there's no line at the counter, or do they just dislike getting out of their car that much.

@mcuban No, the biggest problem is that big money health insurance funds our elections and healthcare is tied to employment. Every citizen should have access to healthcare and big money should not buy our politician’s votes.

The greatest problem in healthcare ? Hospitals, even market dominant hospitals, won’t walk away from the big ins companies that underpay, late pay, clawback, deny claims, waste their time in denial appeals, and require them to pay up to 8 pct of revenue to RCM consultants so they think they are getting what they are owed. Here is the crazy part. The ins companies ARE NOT THE ONES ACTUALLY PAYING THEM on commercial plans. Employers are. 60 pct of employees get their insurance from their self insured employers. The ins carrier is just a middleman that pretends to add value. All the clinical “value” they add, the hospital could do better, for both medical and pharmacy. Most hospitals have no idea whether they make or lose money with their big ins contracts. They are just afraid to lose patient flow. But. They actually know which companies their patients are coming from. They actually know or can find out, how much more the employers are paying the ins company, than what the ins company pays them (the spread, just like in pharmacy ) And to make it worse, those ins companies negotiate their rates as a discount from the “charge master “, which is like WAC in pharmacy. Just a made up list price. Because the hospitals are afraid or too uninformed to walk away from these deals, the hospitals use the inflated charge master prices as the basis to charge uninsured , or out of network , or insured but not covered for their care, at charge master rates. Which of course the patients can’t afford. And it crushes their finances or they go without care I’ll summarize. Employers , and their members , are paying far more than they should to companies they don’t like working with , that effectively rip off both the employer and hospital , and they could eliminate the middlemen if they went directly to to the employer. It’s so simple. Sell your services to the employers that use your services at a price that is less than what nine companies charge for your services and you will make MORE money and employers will save a ton And if they did this, they could dump the chargemaster and reduce the price they bill patients when they are at their most vulnerable But they don’t want to change. And don’t get me started on how much hospitals over pay for drugs and devices because of the GPO deals they do. It’s just stupid. Which in turn leads to the hospital being a bad actor with 340b , facilities fees and afraid of their doctors who demand they pay more for things like glue and implants so they can get vacations. If you are a politician and reading this. Now you know why this is so fucked up and it’s not about capping rates. The insurance companies are smarter than you. They will just move the money to other places. It’s not about giving money to patients. You can’t shop for care from hospitals that are too gutless to walk away from the ins companies that distort all of healthcare economics Go to your local hospitals , particularly those at risk of closing and ask for their profitability by carrier. Fully burdened. Ask how much they spend on RCM and consultants. In many cases they could survive if they ran like a real business and hired execs that could do the work rather than just manage consultants. They could work out contracts in their communities rather than with ins companies and benefit everyone. The middlemen are not needed. Get rid of them
