A couple of Sundays ago, the New York Times’ editorial board reported that a Times analysis shows that Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion.
When prior authorizations are transparent and medically grounded, everyone benefits. Patients receive treatment without harmful delays, health plans maintain oversight, and physicians can focus on what we were trained to do: care for people.
Are absentee ballots a right? Can voters sue for monetary damages if there’s a mistake?

While Minnesota is where much of the resistance has been happening, my gratitude spills beyond its borders because the resistance has been virtually everywhere ICE brutality occurs.
Congress has the power and responsibility to ensure that no president, regardless of party, becomes an unconstrained authority. However, as we examine the first year of this current administration, it’s fair to say that Trump has been allowed to run amok.
Lenders don’t respond to capped interest rates by continuing to provide them with loans out of civic duty. They respond by lending less.
The messaging from the federal government — the Department of Health and Human Services and its agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices — can only be characterized as a confused mess of some existing science, cherry-picked fringe studies, unproven theories, and wishful thinking.
The U.S. economy is at a “major transitional moment” shaped by rapid public policy change and a technological revolution around AI, a Wisconsin economist says. Mike Knetter is the senior advisor for investments and business development at the Wisconsin Foundation
