Another insightful article by @melodyschreiber.com -its about time for insurance companies to act in their own self interest-not selling the product, but saving the costs of catastrophic , preventable illness
"Insurers understand that there is a benefit there to people being vaccinated...and know that it will cost them a heck of a lot more to treat kids with measles who are hospitalized than it is to pay for vaccines” - Thx @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social!

One thing people don’t realize is that even if you don’t use Medicaid—even if you never would use Medicaid—your ability to access care, and your ability to access healthcare providers like me, will be affected in some way or another by every cut or barrier to Medicaid. Nobody will be unaffected.
Medicaid is not "free lunch" it is single payer healthcare already only available to the poorest pregnant people, children, seniors, and disabled people!

Every Epstein dump just shows how many slimy men there are in the upper echelons of scientific research.
This is Nathan Wolfe. Nathan is a virus hunter. Nathan has a bit of a reputation. Through the years, I've told multiple journalists stories I've heard, like "Nathan thanks Jeffrey Epstein in his book." Somehow no one ever wrote anything up. Want to see what Nathan was up to in today's Epstein files?

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024
UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.
HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I know everyone is sharing this, and it is bad, but, let's also be clear, this is not a new statement from Homan. This was from January 15: www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

This story - and the "reporter" Benjamin Ryan who was DM'ing with white supremacists and just has lots of questions about trans people continue to be an embarrassment for the paper, as they should be.
Hilariously they actually use the real name of notorious eugenics blogger Crémieux and have a parenthetical acknowledgement that other Times reporters used him as a source for that smear of Mamdani last year
