There's been an uptick in stories about insurers limiting coverage of prosthetic limbs and questioning their medical necessity, for example. Mr Beast, an influencer with 343 million subscribers on YouTube, recently railed against the healthcare industry in a new video where he helped 2,000 amputees walk again. "Many lived in America and it feels so disgusting that in a country with this much wealth, a fucken YouTuber is their only option to get a prosthetic leg," he tweeted. "We need to fix this." And last week a plastic surgeon called Dr Elisabeth Potter " a specialist in reconstructive surgery for breast cancer patients who have had mastectomies " went viral on TikTok for claiming she had to step out of an operation (where another surgeon was also present) because a health insurance representative demanded proof it was necessary. According to Potter, her patient was under anesthesia when she got an urgent phone call from UnitedHealthcare while in the operating room.
For those of us that were there fighting Trump supporters inspired by his lies and his violent rhetoric, we were there to protect ourselves and our fellow officers," Fanone continued. "And ultimately, those of us that chose to speak out and testify about our account and what we experienced at the Capitol on January 6th, you know, who have been targeted by Trump himself and by his supporters. And that continues to this day." He recalled revealing that his mother was swatted, the practice of someone calling the police, claiming that there was a person with a gun, or threatening a person at the residence. The goal is for police to act irrationally and shoot first when the owner opens the door. While the swatting has been reported, Fanone revealed that his mother was attacked by someone driving by her home at least twice in the past several months. "Unfortunately, my mother has suffered at the hands of these MAGA lunatics," he said. read more
"Murrell's attackers showed no remorse for their actions," [the judge] wrote in her decision, noting that the group "glorified the attack by posting a video online with a clip of the group pinning Murrell against the light post and pushing him into the busy road, to promote the view that non-white individuals like Murrell should be subordinated to white people." read more

Simply because her son continues to tell the truth about his experiences on January 6th. I mean, her house has been swatted. She had an individual throw a brick at her house just a little over a month ago in the middle of the night," Fanone told Wallace.
"And I guess, you know, most egregious of all, while she was out raking leaves, not so long ago, an individual pulled up and threw a bag of s--- on her while she was in her front yard," he said, saying the person threw feces on his elderly mother.
"What kind of savage animal behaves like that?" he asked.
The savage animal Fanone is inquiring about is known as a feral trumper.
