Megyn Kelly used her SiriusXM show to mock the body of a woman who says she was drugged and raped by 7 Cornell frat bros. Kelly said she probably "enjoyed" it. That's rape culture, and SiriusXM and advertisers are promoting it. Tell them to drop Kelly now! share.weareultraviolet.org/s/0C0rfLLf

On Tuesday, a federal judge once again blocked the Trump administration from shutting CNN, MS NOW, and Politico out of the White House. The decision puts an end to a “blatantly unconstitutional” ban, said @rcfp President Bruce D. Brown. Our full statement: bit.ly/3WqXd8P
A graphic depicting Reporters Committee President Bruce D. Brown's statement: “The court has put an end to a blatantly unconstitutional attempt to punish news outlets for coverage the president doesn’t like. The decision protects not only CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, but all the other holders of White House passes who continued to work under the threat of retaliation — and of course the public, which deserves timely and accurate information from a press corps free from government intimidation.”

Talarico delivered this line at a campaign rally in Texas, drawing a direct contrast between how aggressively the govt pursues undocumented workers versus how little it pursues wealthy predators & tax cheats. Talarico leads Paxton 48% to 45% in a state no Democrat has won statewide since 1988.

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.” (Published April 2025)

“Slow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”: Trial Reveals How Insurers Try to Wield Power Over Doctors
Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.

New data shows schools block 140,000 gambling-site visits a month. Teachers are rushing to warn students, especially boys, that sports betting is not the path to instant wealth they think it is.
