I'm a Republican Fighting for Healthcare, Here's Why | NYT Opinion
Millions of Americans fall into the Medicaid gap, earning too much to qualify for Medicaid, yet too little to afford private insurance or receive subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. Across the country, 4.5 million would stand to benefit from Medicaid expansion. In North Carolina, the Democratic Governor is championing Medicaid expansion for 500,000 people, while Republicans in the state legislature are blocking the measure. In this video op-Ed, those affected argue that Medicaid expansion is necessary. If the legislature continues to block health care access, Republicans risk votes in 2020.

How ‘The Dead Don’t Die’ Handles Its Zombies | Anatomy of a Scene
"It’s zombies.”
One character’s simple explanation for the chaos happening in a small town is all you need to know to prepare for the new horror comedy from Jim Jarmusch. The movie, which uses an all-star cast to tell its apocalyptic tale, provides plenty of deadpan dialogue, and in-between, moments of undead-slashing action. This scene includes both, with Carol Kane as a zombie with white-wine longings. She only says, “Chardonaaaay.”
“These undead in our film have a kind of vestigial memory for one thing that they were obsessed with when they were alive,” Jarmusch explained. “And in this case, being the town drunk, her obsession was chardonnay.”
But don’t expect a complete blood bath. The filmmaker also said that he didn’t want to make a splatter film. The movie does get occasionally bloody, but only when the undead are attacking the living. The zombies are just made of dust inside, which rises into the air when they are slain. “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,” he said.

Watch Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling Go Head to Head in ‘Late Night’ | Anatomy of a Scene
It’s a comedy writers’ room, but plenty of drama ensues.
In “Late Night,” Emma Thompson plays the talk-show host Katherine Newbury, who is pondering how to save her program from sinking ratings. A newcomer to the writing staff (Mindy Kaling, also the movie’s screenwriter) has ideas about the show, but they are welcomed with less than open arms.
In her narration, the director Nisha Ganatra discusses how she put Thompson and Kaling on opposite sides of the table to signify that the two women are “really on the same journey,” if at different points in their career. She also talks about techniques that add visual variety to a scene that mostly consists of characters talking around a table.

Why American Diabetics Go to Mexico and Craiglist for Insulin | NYT Opinion
In the video Op-Ed above, those affected by Type 1 diabetes argue that insulin is unaffordable, leaving diabetics to take risks like rationing insulin or buying from strangers online. Drug prices in the U.S. have risen dramatically in recent years, but with no alternatives to insulin, diabetics are caught in the crosshairs: Missing a single dose could land them in the hospital, and lead to death in as little as a few days.
Patent laws allow pharmaceutical companies to block competition and prevent affordable generics, and so-called safe harbor regulations legalize kickbacks between the makers of insulin and the middlemen who distribute it, ultimately raising prices for the consumer.
Colorado has recently capped insulin copays, and Congress is actively investigating why the price of insulin is so high. Ely Lilly, one of the top three insulin producers, has also announced a half-priced alternative to its top-selling product. But this is not enough: Insulin must be affordable and accessible in order to prevent more deaths from a perfectly manageable disease.

Why 28,000 Organs Won’t Make it to Patients in Need | NYT Opinion
In the video Op-Ed above, people on the organ wait list argue that it’s time for the government to step in, provide oversight and require transparency in the organ recovery system. Research shows that organ procurement organizations (O.P.O.s), responsible for recovering organs, are inefficient and lack accountability. While a record number of organs have been transplanted in the past five years, that is not evidence of a well-working system: These numbers are bloated by a recent increase in opioid-related deaths.
In May, the White House released its unified agenda to set priorities for the Department of Health and Human Services. A rule was proposed to address and make changes to the standards used to evaluate O.P.O. performance. It’s now up to H.H.S. to determine what kind of change to make.

How destructive can an action scene be between two people who don’t even touch each other during battle? If one of them has magnetic powers and the other telekinetic ones, you might want to duck.
This scene pits Magneto (Michael Fassbender) against Phoenix (Sophie Turner) in a sequence where a war of wills lead to pyrotechnics, errant helicopter blades and a superhero who takes a ride not on, but through, a few bicycles. In his narration, the writer and director Simon Kinberg discusses how he sought to create a set piece different from the kinds usually found in X-Men movies, while using real helicopters in the process.

The U.S. and its allies say 180 civilians were killed in military operations between June and October of 2017. A new Amnesty International investigation finds the number is actually over 1,600.
The United States, British and French militaries were successful in pushing ISIS out of Raqqa, Syria. But at what cost? Western forces have failed to acknowledge the extent of civilian deaths they caused and have yet to make a long-term commitment to help the survivors rebuild. They must further investigate what happened: If so may civilians died, clearly something went terribly wrong.

How Olivia Wilde Created a Fantasy Musical Scene for ‘Booksmart’ | Anatomy of a Scene
How do you put together a dance scene with someone who hasn’t danced before? Very carefully.
The comedy “Booksmart” follows two soon-to-be high-school graduates, Molly and Amy (Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever), who have spent too much time studying and no time partying. They’re correcting that in one wild night before graduation. This scene has them arriving at a party they’ve been trying to find for much of the film.
Molly spots her school crush, Nick (Mason Gooding), and the scene transitions into a fantasy musical sequence showing Molly’s inner thoughts. In her narration, the director Olivia Wilde discusses using classic Hollywood musicals as inspiration, what it took to pull off this sequence in one shot, and how she and her choreographer, Denna Thomsen, got great work out of Gooding, who hadn’t danced before this.

I’ve always known that expressing myself could hurt my career. I’ve tried not to show emotion, to anticipate what people expect from me and to do it. I don’t like to let people down. But change does not come from silence.
Last week, two of my former Nike teammates, the Olympian runners Alysia Montaño and Kara Goucher, heroically broke their nondisclosure agreements with the company to share their pregnancy stories in a New York Times investigation.
Theirs are stories that we know to be true, but were too scared to tell publicly: If we have children, we risk pay cuts from our sponsors during pregnancy and afterward. It’s one example of a sports industry where the rules are still mostly made for and by men.

Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan quit their Washington jobs to bike around the world. They wanted the trip to be an expression of what they valued: connecting with others and living life fully. They traveled for more than a year, through dozens of countries, until they reached Tajikistan, where ISIS targeted and killed them. On the road where the couple died, local Tajiks built a memorial. It’s “a reminder to all who pass to live as these young cyclists did, open to the world, unafraid,” said reporter Rukmini Callimachi, who covered the story on the latest episode of @TheWeekly. Check out the link in our bio to explore Jay and Lauren’s story and the episode.

In this predominantly white region of central Minnesota, the influx of Somalis, most of whom are Muslim, has spurred the sort of demographic and cultural shifts that President Trump and right-wing conservatives have stoked fears about for years. The resettlement has divided many politically active residents of St. Cloud, with some saying they welcome the migrants. But the change has also emboldened white anti-immigration activists who are trying to press an increasingly explicit anti-Muslim agenda. Ekram Elmoge, a 21-year-old who resettled in St. Cloud from Somalia about 5 years ago, described the city as “diversity without inclusion.” She said she had been harassed by white residents, who have yelled, “Go back to your country” and “You’re here for free money.” Click the link in our bio to read more. @ackermangruber shot this photo.

Judith Sheindlin has dominated daytime ratings by making justice in a complicated world look easy. “I get up in the morning, and I look in the mirror, and I say, ‘When did my young person start to inhabit this old person’s body?’” she said. In the last 2 decades, “Judge Judy” has won 3 Emmys and become the highest-rated daytime TV show in syndication.

Yes, those people are sunbathing in the against the backdrop of the World Trade Center. In the 1970s, while developers and the city arm-wrestled over what to build in Lower Manhattan, resourceful locals turned the empty landfill into a beach. @fredrconrad, a @nytimes staff photographer, took this photograph while roving around town in 1977. At the time, it must have seemed merely whimsical — a postcard from the eternal war between business and pleasure. But today there’s an elegiac and unsettling aspect to the image, of course, since we know the fate of the towers, which these sunbathers couldn’t have imagined.

Eight months before the all-important Iowa caucuses, Democratic presidential candidates spoke at the capital city’s #Pride celebration to show their support for the #lgbtq community. One after another, candidates like Mayor @pete.buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., who is vying to become the nation’s first openly gay president, took the mic and addressed crowds decked out in rainbow garb. We spoke with some of the celebrants about the issues that matter most to them. Visit the link in our bio to learn more. @jakenaughton shot these portraits. #🏳️🌈
