NEW: Of the 7,837 disputed procedures in the lawsuit, involving 1,680 patients, Blue Cross paid this breast cancer center about 9 cents on the dollar, paying $43M on invoices totaling $500M.

Social Security Administration to require in-person identity checks for new and existing recipients In an effort to limit fraudulent claims, the Social Security Administration will impose tighter identity-proofing measures.

Yep.

Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.”

Corporate monopolies aren’t just bad for business — they’re bad for your wallet. Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

They are destroying the economy for no good reason. They are undermining the government for no good reason. They are terrorizing workers for no good reason. They are abandoning our allies for no good reason. They are doing it to see how far they can go. It will get worse if they aren't stopped.

This is who Trump is firing (thread 2 of 3):

(1/?) Adm. Lisa Franchetti entered the Navy in 1985. She was designated a Surface Warfare Officer in 1989, and has nearly 20 years of operational and at-sea experience. She has commanded the USS Ross, two Carrier Strike Groups, and a Destroyer Squadron.

She will always be my CNO. She's capable, she's warm, and she's made positive changes in today's Navy. Her safety record also exceeds that of other CNOs. #GSD

He also fired the Chief of Naval Operations Lisa Franchetti, who has as much operational experience as any other CNO this decade: destroyer command, two carrier strike groups, US Forces Korea, and 6th Fleet. The only thing she lacks is a penis.

The family doesn't want the Army to release the name of the third crew member, who is confirmed to be female.

I can imagine the family not wanting to feed into the current 'DEI Hire' narrative the administration is pushing. Not being able to recognize a competent soldier BC she's female is heinous.
