When companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Hugely important corrective thread.
Trump’s ambassador to the EU is accidentally—and unwittingly—saying the US economy is losing ground to the EU, even if he doesn’t seem to realise it.

By comparing the wrong GDP metrics, Andrew Puzder is arguing the EU is currently trouncing the US. And it’s all because of Trump!

Let me explain🧵

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

Who is Gavin Newsom’s constituency? Like how many Americans feel strongly about Palestinian liberation but also hate trans people?

An ICE agent has been arrested for putting a woman in a chokehold and causing “serious physical harm”

Police said they had been called to the residence 22 times

It’s time we talk about what kind of men are attracted to being ICE agents

Hint: It’s men who would strangle a woman

A *lot* of folks in our communities say they feel like the air is better. Some people reply saying that their feeling is psychosomatic, but I’m not sure that’s the case.

It's interesting because the online model of masculinity today is everything that I was taught not to be. Whiney, self-centred, arrogant, narcissistic, unkind, vain, selfish.
I'm re-watching Magnum P.I. and I can't believe how vastly superior the 1980s ideal of masculinity is, vs today's whining, lying misogynist edgelord ideal that we see in culture all the way up to the Presidency.
The 50's stereotypical man had at least some other things to offer. Typically noble or stoic. Perhaps serving the greater good. Instead it's now a bunch of energy drink selfish neurotics who spend too much time at the gym and have no developed personality at all but being online.

This sent me to Linda Fiorentino’s Wikipedia page. I was always intrigued by what happened to her career and remembered her reputation as being “difficult”. Reading it, I see where some of the “difficulties” may have stemmed from.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
