$600 for my son who lived about 3 minutes. He received no medical care. At all. As he died almost immediately he didn’t get enrolled in my insurance plan, so I got the bill. From the hospital where I was a doctor.
What’s the most absurd medical bill you have ever received?
I don’t know what is scarier - these figures, or the fact that they are not making the headlines.
Earlier this summer I began noting the troublesome spike in atmospheric methane readings from Barrow AK. Someone commented they were likely in error. Nope. These record high readings over 2000 ppb are real and part of a record spike up in Arctic methane levels this year. pic.twitter.com/7fqw0U7Ft1

That's how quickly we are deteriorating.

I’ll be on #Marr shortly arguing that the country deserves better than Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn. We have to be more ambitious than settling for the best of two appalling candidates for Prime Minister.

It’s this attitude that has made my mind up that I’ll vote labour in the next election despite always voting Lib Dem. You should be aligning with them, not taking cheap shots. That doesn’t help the remain cause at all
I've spent all morning checking where you can win seats, and you can't. Not only can't you win an election, you can't even keep the seats your defectors hold. No wonder you don't want an election. AND you could lose your own seat. electionpolling.co.uk/battleground/t…

I sat through those hearings. Brett Kavanaugh lied to the U.S. Senate and most importantly to the American people. He was put on the Court through a sham process and his place on the Court is an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice.
He must be impeached.
He must be impeached.
How many more times do we have to find out that Brett Kavanaugh is a sexual predator before people realize that Brett Kavanaugh is a sexual predator?
Two @nytimes reporters, @rpogrebin and @katekelly, spent months independently reporting out Deborah Ramirez’s allegation against Brett Kavanaugh and found it credible—and documented another serious claim of misconduct with an eyewitness: nytimes.com/2019/09/14/sun…
If Brett Kavanaugh gets to be on the Supreme Court for the rest of his life, l'm totally cool with him having to hear his disgusting past investigated and condemned for the rest of his life.

It would violate the First Amendment for the Justice Department to try to stop newspapers from publishing articles on any topic.

When people demanded an investigation last year, they wanted an actual investigation, before a confirmation vote. They got a barely phoned-in sham. Now there’s been investigation, turning up corroboration and more, & he has a lifetime appointment. nytimes.com/2019/09/14/sun…
At the time of c#Kavanaugh’s confirmation, many of us said that the FBI investigation was a sham limited by Senate Republicans. Now we know that for a fact. “Ms. Ramirez’s legal team gave the F.B.I. a list of at least 25 individuals who may have had corroborating evidence.(1/2)
