Insurance will not pay for Vaccines if the CDC/ACIP doesn't mandate them.
If ACIP takes vaccines off its recommended list, or doesn’t give its stamp of approval to a future shot, health insurers would not be obligated to cover it.
They are lying, again.

Today in history, 1914: Henry Ford makes the shocking announcement that he’s more than doubling workers’ minimum pay from $2.34 a day to $5 a day. He also reduced the workday from nine hours to eight hours. The move was not driven by altruism but a shrewd business strategy. /1

The Fed has been quietly injecting billions of dollars into major banks, roughly every third business day since Halloween. On Dec. 10, the New York Fed lifted the limit on overnight cash infusions.
This doesn't sound good.

"What we are witnessing with Venezuela follows the same exact playbook Putin used in Ukraine. Putin didn’t call it a war. He called it a 'special military operation.' Trump doesn’t call what he’s doing an invasion either. He wraps it in language about corruption, stability, security."

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.
Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.
Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

Maduro was basically packaged. The VP made the deal through Qatar as an intermediary. Trump wanted to put on a show to make him look like a strongman. But this "raid" was way too easy. The intel was way too solid. We knew where everything was at, including Maduro. They gave him to Trump.

Trump tells the world that this is all a law-enforcement, not military exercise. He then tells the Senate law-enforcement oversight committee that it's a military, not a law-enforcement matter. He can't even keep his lies straight.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.
I am not a Section 230 expert but being that Twitter is creating and publishing these photos I wonder if they actually have any civil legal protection? @kenwhite.bsky.social ? @akivamcohen.bsky.social ?
What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.
