In January, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services will roll out a pilot program that will use AI to review Medicare patients' requests for care.

Insurers will get rewarded when they deny care.

What could go wrong?

Also, of course, the State Department changing typefaces for reasons that boil down to "fuck accessibility" is both utterly in line with the overt bigotry of this administration and a signal indicator of how unserious these people are, it doesn't matter what typeface you use when you're a joke

Multiple U.S. citizens have been arrested during ICE operations.

The forcefulness, lack of communication, and unlawful practices displayed by federal agents will not be tolerated in Minnesota.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

It's been almost three weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Millions of borrowers in Biden's SAVE plan would start paying under new settlement Legal challenges put SAVE borrowers in limbo for months, a time during which they were not required to make payments on their loans. That would change if the proposed settlement is approved.

Instacartโ€™s AI-Enabled Pricing Experiments May Be Inflating Your Grocery Bill, CR and Groundwork Collaborative Investigation Finds - Consumer Reports Exclusive: Instacartโ€™s AI pricing may be inflating your grocery bill.

New research found that Instacart is charging shoppers different prices โ€” despite ordering the same items from the same store at the same time.

The price differences could amount to an extra $1,200 a year for the average household of four.

Corporate greed is out of control.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyrannyโ€”theyโ€™re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

NEW: We sent a letter demanding that ICE end immigration detention at Fort Bliss, the same facility used to intern people of Japanese descent during World War II.

People detained at this facility are denied adequate food, medical care, and are physically and sexually abused by the guards.

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He shouldโ€™ve been sent to jail forever.

There isnโ€™t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Donโ€™t fall for Trumpโ€™s lies about targeting the โ€œworst of the worst.โ€

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

The 14th Amendment doesnโ€™t mince words โ€” birthright citizenship is a constitutionally protected right.

Weโ€™re fighting at the Supreme Court against President Trumpโ€™s attempt to end birthright citizenship.
