Lawmakers holding these hearings... “shows how much health care costs have risen on the political radar,” said Anthony Wright, the executive director of @FamiliesUSA, a Washington, D.C., consumer advocacy group.

The last time the Knicks had a lead in the NBA Finals was June 17th, 1994.

Yes, the same day as this:

Every time I open this report, I find a new methodological choice to marvel at.

If your model assumes sunshine and rainbows, your result will be sunshine and rainbows.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the court’s conservative majority for a ruling that “debases the democratic process” by allowing Alabama to use a congressional map that the justices had previously found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. https://t.co/ahoPNpCSNd

Earlier today, @DrOzCMS claimed that large numbers of Marketplace enrollees aren’t “legit” on the grounds that some enrollees don't file a claim in any given year. Re-upping this thread on why this argument is seriously flawed.

Disappointing that electronic media have ignored the best comparison to America250: our 1976 Bicentennial. President Gerald Ford was in the midst of a highly competitive contest with Jimmy Carter yet Ford resisted demeaning the ceremonies for partisan purposes. But America had higher standards back then. Here’s an idea: TV could use videotape archives to show how a dignified POTUS handled the situation.

Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) https://t.co/vs782YbcI3

@urbaninstitute Working with state advocates & policymakers, we will seek to push back on this timeline & this policy, to mitigate & document the damage. This is yet another assault on our health system by the Trump administration and will cause millions to face more costs and confusion. (7)

[Anthony Wright @aewright]

At a time when Americans are fed up with the cost and complexity of our health system, the President and Congress are making matters worse with new work reporting requirements to get on and stay on Medicaid coverage, including in new regulations released today. (1)

[Families USA @FamiliesUSA]

NEW: CMS just released a new rule that will create confusion and chaos for states — and put millions at risk of losing Medicaid coverage. It will mean:

❗ More paperwork and reporting burdens❗ Harder standards for medical frailty exemptions❗ Tight timelines for implementation

[Anthony Wright @aewright]

@urbaninstitute With an extremely tight timeline of mere months to stand up and implement these costly and complex systems, this rule sets in motion one of the most harmful coverage rollbacks in the program’s history. (6)

The iconic green subway entrance railings and globes have been a fixture of New York City for decades. Now they're orange and blue.

And for the first time, the globes are basketballs.

Finals week hits different in New York.

RT @heykevinjohn: Linden native Aaron Judge stayed out on the field roughly 30 minutes after the game to sign autographs for fans. Judge gr…

It sucks to hear, but:

De’Aaron Fox just pulled off one of the greatest moves in sports history.

Jumped ship from a team that won 22 this year and may have the bleakest future currently, to a team 4 wins away from a title, and the brightest future.

Oh and he got a max deal.

[Carmichael Dave @CarmichaelDave]

The Sacramento Kings went from the Beam Team 3 seed to

Trading Barnes and an UNPROTECTED 1st swap to sign DeRozan

Fired Mike Brown

Traded Fox for a top 3 bad contract

Lost a coin toss, pick 7

Now Fox and Barnes and Brown will face each other for a title.

A year later.

I wanted to say something positive about this- but like so much of what comes out of HHS recently, it is framed in such an unnecessary and counterproductive negative light against doctors and the healthcare system (“the gaslighting is over!”). You’re in charge- you don’t need to keep creating villains, picking fights, and sowing anger and mistrust. Just say you’re prioritizing Lyme disease and will work with any partners who share your goal! 🤦🏽‍♂️
