Purple Iris

October is breast cancer awareness month. How exciting! The FDA approved a new combination treatment for advanced resistant breast cancer. It was based on the results of SERENA-6 Phase III trial presented at the 2025 ASCO annual meeting & publication in NEJM. 🧪 www.fda.gov/news-events/...

I am back! I wanted to check out Threads— and the more I experience what Meta is doing— the less I like it. I feel a bit safer over here.

I'm really curious who leaked that audio. And why.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejects a call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Thank you #NebraskaAppleseed. www.wowt.com/2025/10/16/n...

Thune: "If I were a woman I'd be talking to my doctor and not taking advice from RFK"

Has anyone seen the movement on TikTok regarding the #PurpleRevolution? It is Democrats, Independents, and Republicans coming together in unity. I am wondering who is behind it and if it is legit. @aaronparnas.bsky.social are you aware of it?

Good article from the Associated Press. The article even quotes Trump as saying all the layoffs will be Democrats. Dear GOP-- that is a mistake. It's time to stop this madness and start doing things for the people you represent. Unity first. apnews.com/article/gove...

RIP Jane Goodall.

Thank you President Obama for being a voice of Democracy. Your leadership is missed.

Are we great yet?

I saw this posted on TikTok-- and didn't believe it. Indeed, the QAnon Shaman is suing Trump, Musk, and other entities. He is proclaiming he is the leader of our country without being elected. This stuff just gets more strange every day. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/phoenix...

I canceled Disney and Hulu many months ago-- because I was tired of seeing commercials after paying for their service. I stopped reading and watching ABC News because their stories were not always factual. I never had a subscription to ESPN. Even more happy now, I canceled Disney!

Given all the horrible things that are happening...here is a beautiful sign of hope and transformation. A monarch in my garden🙂

We need more headline news like this - where we see unification rather than division. Where else is this happening? abcnews.go.com/Politics/col...

BRILLIANT!!!

#ABCNew spreads more hate. When will news change their tune? Republicans and Democrats agree that political hate needs to stop. How about that for headlines? How about the person who shot Charlie Kirk was not registered as Republican or Democrat? #StoptheHate abcnews.go.com/Politics/aft...

Washington State: Best Covid Vaccine guidelines. Washington state's new order, everyone aged 6 months and older, including pregnant individuals, can receive the COVID-19 vaccine directly from a Washington pharmacy or clinic without needing an individual prescription. komonews.com/news/local/w...

🚨 BREAKING: Charlie Kirk has been shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University. This heinous and vile attack is a stain on our democracy. Violence must NEVER be the answer to political disagreements—our strength is in ideas, not bloodshed.

I’ve seen enough. Impeach Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

This is surprising to me. I mean, MTG willing to read the names? Wow. www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/u...

What happened @dexcom.bsky.social? I change out the G7 before the expiration date frequently enough that it is less reliable. It's accuracy is also questionable. Today, my cgm read 87. I was really 42. You can do better Dexcom. I and so many others rely on you.

Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."

Stephen Miller is the real threat. He drafts the new executive orders, and Trump acts clueless as to what he is signing. This is Democracy being taken away from us. Let's hope all states ensure they take action to protect our elections. www.cnn.com/2025/08/02/p...

And there it is.

@unitedhealtcare.bsky.social is getting worse! I Why can I only have the oral suspension of Famotidine and not take the pills (now a plan exclusion)? I am aware of your, "that is part of what your benefits manager choose" -- but, most companies rely on you to help with managing benefits.

Why don't I feel bad for Senator Murkowski? She got taken by her own party. She voiced her opinion-- but sold out because she thought she was getting a deal for Alaska. She then "hoped" the House of Representatives would fix things. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Congress do your job. There is a lot to uncover. No one in the Justice Department can be trusted to uncover the truth when the lie for Trump. We are losing faith in our government.

Why Colbert's cancellation marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large

Stephen Colbert, if you’re reading this: the door is open at the MeidasTouch Network open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Stephen Colbert doesn’t need CBS anyway. Wherever he ends up, people are going to watch him even harder now. All CBS did was solidify the fact that they’ll be know until the end of time as just another spineless corporation that couldn’t do the right thing.

I am disappointed in #Paramount. I canceled my subscription months ago after they settled with Trump for his approval to merge with Skydance. Paramount proves they will pay the price. I am a big Star Trek fan. Sad I will miss the premiere of "Strange New Worlds." www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...

Hmm

There’s something SERIOUSLY WRONG with a political system like this.

Don Bacon. Retiring at the end of his term. He admits there are things about the Big Beautiful Bill he doesn't like... but will vote for it anyway. Another #LisaMurkowski www.ketv.com/article/nebr...

I hope he is held accountable for every death that could be prevented by vaccines.

A federal appeals court has ordered the Trump administration to “facilitate the return” of a 31-year-old Salvadoran man who was deported just minutes after the court had issued an order blocking his removal.
