Tough medical day.

Many of you have very kindly asked how I am doing.

An additional diagnosis in recent weeks has been difficult. And I've had to fight with my health insurer for basic services they are now denying. This has made everything harder, of course.
1/
I am hoping to postpone new surgery until January, so the holidays aren't wrecked for us. Not sure how that will go.

The best thing that's happened is #NancyPelosi's re-election. Anyone who has a chronic illness like #cancer cheered this. We can count on her protection.
2/
The path to wellness should NEVER have to go through fear and fighting for care, but that's how it is for millions of Americans like me.

We need #MedicaidForAll. For now, protecting the #ACA is essential.

Thanks again for all your support.

Actually, it's #NancyPelosi who will upset Trump the most.
Wednesday he had a literal panic attack when he found out she'd been chosen again. Then he threatened to release classified documents he asserted would damage the Democrats.

Also, casual misogyny is still misogyny.
It's been demanded of me that I apologize for this comment. Not by Ed, who actually wanted to explain to me --yet not take down the tweet--but by his followers.

A lot of anonymous folks feel they should lecture me, rather than think about what I said and why.
1/
Some feel compelled to attack my abilities as a journalist. Others have decided that if they aren't bothered, I shouldn't be. Others weren't able to say anything substantive so put up a gif.

All as if what's happened for MONTHS never happened--which is why I commented at all.

Now that I've had a chance to read this article and some others related to children and screen time and the wealthy and the poor, I have some thoughts. 1/ cc: @readywriting @hypervisible @mischelej
First, this article on the unexpected digital divide between rich and poor seems entirely incomplete. There is an early reference to racial differences in screen usage but in the article there are no voices of black or brown folks that I could detect. 2/
We are told a number of things: Wealthy parents are shunning screens in their children's lives, psychologists underscore the addictive nature of screen time on kids, and of course, whatever the short end of the stick is - poor kids get that. 3/

Now that it's a new day and I'm slightly less inarticulate with grief and fear and rage:
They had gathered to celebrate a bris. In a broader sense, to celebrate the birth of a child. Don't know if you've ever been to a bris or a baby naming ceremony, but it's a deeply moving experience. I described one I attended to my therapist once; she said it gave her goosebumps.
Because here's the thing, the knowledge standing in the room like another person, at a ceremony celebrating a living Jewish child: that child is a miracle. Not in a religious sense--in the sense of if various civilizations had had their way, that child would never have been born.

#NancyPelosi also now wants to shut down all coal plants. This is another example of the Democrat’s #GreenScam. Shut down down everything except for “green” energy, then get contracts for green products to get even richer.
More characters involved in the #GreenScam

Surely, Bloomberg was also set to profit from the #GreenScam

Back in Berlin from this year's British-German #Königswinter Conference.

The best summary was incidentally provided by a border guard at Heathrow, who said to me upon seeing my destination:

"Please tell your friends we are still European". /1
A few more impressions: Everything started off with a clear political signal as the German official delegation arrived in the UK en route from Dublin.

Main message: EU-27 are the priority, and Berlin is 100% behind Ireland. /2
Most striking was the mood between Germans and Brits:

Brexit now seems to be more and more an accepted reality, with less grudge.

The deep regret is still there, though with a willingness to look ahead. /3
