MASSIVE SCANDAL UNFOLDING IN DENVER You will want to read to the end. Absolutely shocking corruption and coverup. Denver City Council blocked Denver International Airport from leasing space to Key Lime Air, because the airline worked with ICE. There was just one problem… It violates FAA rules. So what did they do? City attorney Miko Brown allegedly urged the airport to fabricate an investigation into the airline’s safety record to cover up for illegally discriminating against the airline for political reasons. When word got out, Brown and Mayor Mike Johnston flat out denied it. However CBS just obtained an internal airport memo appearing to reveal the entire thing was true. City officials conspired to discriminate against a private company for political reasons then lied about it to cover it up‼️ The @TheJusticeDept should investigate. @AAGDhillon

JW President @TomFitton: JW is again doing the heavy lifting that Congress and the government refuse to do – holding Hillary Clinton & the State Dept accountable for the massive violations of law in the Clinton email scandal. 👉 jwatch.us/Qbcue2 & jwatch.us/CPUF1e

Personal News: I am writing as a mother and living organ donor. Twenty years ago this month, our youngest son Peter received a life-saving liver transplant at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh @ChildrensPgh With Peter’s permission, I’m sharing a photo taken with his older brother a few weeks before his 2006 transplant, when he was in liver failure. Four years later, he won gold at the U.S. Transplant Games in Madison, Wisconsin. And here he is today—healthy, strong, and thriving. What I didn’t fully appreciate in 2006 was that Peter and I were part of pioneering research aimed at reducing the risk of organ rejection in pediatric patients. Even though I donated a segment of my liver to Peter—and as mother and son we are genetically similar—the new testing protocol still helped lower his chances of rejection. Peter and I participated in a research project that developed a simple blood test called Pleximmune @plexision It predicts the likelihood of rejection in pediatric patients by analyzing the unique immune chemistry of both the child and the donor. The test also helps doctors determine exactly how much immunosuppression a child needs to keep rejection at bay. Our family knows firsthand how valuable this early warning system truly is. When Peter hit his growth spurt in his early teens, like so many pediatric transplant recipients, he needed increased immunosuppression. The Pleximmune test predicted this need months in advance, giving his doctors time to adjust his care before problems arose. The threat of rejection is a cloud that hangs over every transplant patient and family. This test is making a real difference. It helps prevent rejection and can save tens of thousands of dollars for families and insurance companies. This is where common sense matters. In early July, the research team is preparing an appeal to Medicare @MedicareGov to price the Pleximmune test "fairly and consistently" with similar diagnostic tests. Right now, only a small percentage of the cost of the test for pediatric patients is being reimbursed. As the team told me, “Fair pricing is the lifeblood of a company’s ability to provide patients with more informed care and continued innovation.” Today, Pleximmune has been used to test roughly 10% of children under age 21 who have received liver or intestine transplants in the U.S. If you want to support this important work and help more pediatric patients and their families benefit... Send a note to your senator, let them know to escalate the matter with Medicare so the appeal gets a fair hearing. Catherine
