The United States and Iran have signaled no quick end to their war, with Trump saying it was necessary to finish the job and Iran warning that the world should be ready for oil at $200 a barrel after striking tankers in Iraqi waters and other ships near the vital Strait of Hormuz reut.rs/4bioYUX
The breast cancer center appealed thousands of Blue Cross reimbursements for being too low.
At trial, the insurer revealed that it had never considered any of the appeals — and that they were pointless:
“An appeal is not available to review an underpayment.”

Just stumbling around trying to figure out how the world works.
You know that Minneapolis solo attorney who you RT'd two days ago after he announced he was up 10 clients released via habeas in immigration cases, despite having filed his first-ever .habeas petition only 29 days prior?
He's gotten two more clients released from ICE custody *today*.
You got this! Who wouldn’t want hire you, look at that little face!!
On August 29, 2016, The Guardian published a letter by Henry Stewart that became a viral sensation. Written during the "burkini ban" controversy in France, Stewart’s satirical piece argued that while religious dress had never harmed him, "men in suits" were responsible for his unfair dismissal, pension scandals, illegal wars, the global financial crash, and the misery of austerity. He concluded that if society is to dictate attire based on perceived harm, it should "ban suits." About the Author Henry Stewart is not just a disgruntled reader but a prominent British business thinker and entrepreneur. He is the founder and "Chief Happiness Officer" of Happy Ltd, a consultancy known for a management style built on trust rather than top-down control. Key Professional Highlights: The Happy Manifesto: His acclaimed book argues that employee autonomy and happiness drive productivity. Workplace Reform: He is a recognized influencer on the Thinkers50 "Guru Radar" for his work in transforming corporate culture. Personal Stakes: The letter’s mention of being "sacked without explanation" refers to a real event in 1987 when he was fired after just 12 days at a pension firm. This experience inspired him to build a company rooted in transparency and respect. Core Philosophy Stewart’s work and public commentary advocate for coaching over commanding and strengths-based working. He frequently connects management ethics to broader social justice, viewing traditional "command and control" structures—represented by the metaphorical "men in suits"—as a primary source of systemic failure and inequality.
me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers
there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it
this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive
North Korea-ass chumps
Drunkard rapist Pete Hegseth blew through $93B in one month at DOD on things like Alaskan King Crab, Cable TV, furniture, fruit baskets, ribeye steaks and more.
These criminals are stealing the same money that republicans claim doesn’t exist for universal healthcare.
talk long enough to a normie and you realize there is no such thing. inside every normie is an abnormie. and they are positively vibrating with the urge to tell someone about the misshapen puddle they saw that looked exactly like carmen sandiego
this is the most important thing Douglas Adams ever wrote, it has appeared uninvited in my head every single dull, empty afternoon I have lived through since reading it for the first time twenty-five years ago
i genuinely cannot process how debased our ruling class is. these guys will walk around all day in shoes that don't fit rather than tell their boss he's wrong. this whole thing where they pretend a stupid evil guy with brain damage is qualified to run every aspect of everyone's life is unacceptable
Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegseth’s attempt to strangle journalism
So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.
Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.
And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?
Congress is trying to pass three online safety bills at once.
18 Senate Dems just voted to confirm Trump's NSA director:
Baldwin
Coons
Cortez Masto
Fetterman
Gillibrand
Hassan
Heinrich
Hirono
Kelly
King
Peters
Reed
Rosen
Schiff
Shaheen
Slotkin
Warner
Whitehouse
I really just do not understand how this could be possible
- they can credibly threaten the Strait as far as insurers are concerned without a whole lot the US can do to convince the insurers otherwise
- the US has no plan and has no strategic guidance besides grandpa's cottage cheese brain
- bibi does not give a fuuuuuck about oil prices
Special Military Operation update: fuck
doing this without attaching it to a war powers vote is political malpractice
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
Why on earth are you guys trying to save the GOP’s bacon in an election year? They control everything! Let them figure it out! Just fucking criticize them!
A new whistleblower report alleges that a former DOGE engineer told co-workers at his new job that that he “previously had unrestricted ‘God-level’ access to the SSA’s systems” & that he possessed copies of SSA’s “Numident” & “Master Death” files, which he planned to use at his new job. 3/10/26…1/
Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.
Remember the mystery a few weeks ago, about how and why xAI was spitting out people's government names, even people who have only *ever* used a pseudonym professionally?
These depositions are my new favorite show. I cannot stop watching them.
I actually can get on board the anti-cookie train, so we will have to use that as our foundational common ground. And we both like you! Although probably not in the same way, but it still counts.
Going to have to process my feelings on this one
