EFF joins @nyclu in urging Gov. Hochul to sign the New York Health Information Privacy Act, a crucial step toward safeguarding the digital privacy of New Yorkers at a time when health data is increasingly vulnerable to misuse.

Take away control of formularies. That’s their real leverage with manufacturers.
Let independent companies fill the role. They have an exemption. And pharma is terrified of them. All because they are afraid of getting kicked off the formulary.
The big insurance companies and the PBMs they own, create almost all of the complications. They are able to do so because they control the flow of patients for hospitals/providers and drug manufacturers. They are the gatekeepers for trillions of dollars of healthcare spending. Everyone has to kiss their ass and accept the complications.
They do this via their control of networks of providers and drug formularies. That’s it.
It’s a simplification. But if we End their control of networks and formularies, healthcare can be transparent and affordable. Then the only question becomes how do patients that can’t afford their care pay for it
Answer: We use the trillions we just saved to help them.
Drug manufacturers are scared to death to lower their drug prices to be more competitive, because if they do the PBMs will take their drug off their formulary. Full transparency report to patients and providers on all money collected by PBM on every transactions.. Can’t hide the $ can’t print it.
Democrats should appoint someone who’s whole job is debunking DOGE lies in real time on every platform.
What we’re watching across North America is a controlled demolition of public health.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.
In Denmark:
– Health care and college are free.
– The starting wage is $22/hr.
– Paid parental leave is 1 year.
– Paid vacation is 6 weeks.
– All workers get pensions.

Senate Democrats to force vote next week on Trump’s fentanyl tariffs on Canada The lawmakers are tapping a provision in a 1976 law that allows any senator to force a vote to block emergency powers being abused by the president.

A federal prosecutor in Los Angeles was fired Friday at the behest of the White House, after lawyers for a fast-food executive he was prosecuting pushed officials in Washington to drop all charges against him Golden age for corruption
The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated. The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

RFK is a Dunning-Kruger poster boy. A deluded, self-proclaimed expert with a below-average intellect further diminished by brain worms, heroin, scientific illiteracy, dishonesty, and overweening ambition.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s explanation for socializing with Jeffrey Epstein:
“…I run into everybody in New York. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew — O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house.”
The big push to discredit vaccines will spread disease among the poorest and most vulnerable. Ubermensch survive; the weak and sick perish. Certainly a MUSK / THIEL NAZI SOUTH AFRICAN policy eugenicists can get behind. Hitler would be so proud. “Don’t be afraid to call [Musk] what he is—a genocidal Nazi playing god with America, and a racist, misogynist conman who has no right to do what he’s doing.”
Democratic commissioners on the Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump on Thursday, saying his administration’s attempts to fire them violate the FTC Act and Supreme Court precedent. There is no precedent in the FTC’s 111-year history for a president of one party to remove commissioners of another party without cause or neglect.

SSSSSSSH . . . I’m A HACKER @AletheDenis
Just finished my 3rd straight year presenting at this elementary school on Cybersecurity as a career path. Thanks to @bishopfox for the time to share this with our pre-emerging workforce of K-6 students.
This year I completely redid all the slides and made them a more cohesive storyline but still using the characters of Zootopia to show the red team (Nick) and the blue team (Judy) perpetrating an engagement targeting employee Clawhauser and at the request of Mayor Lionheart.
I share education pathways and skills as well as things they can do now to begin learning towards these blue and red team career paths. And the coolest part? Seeing the same students come back for even a third year in a row to ask more questions and see me present again. I take tools and get to share some real (albeit redacted) stories from engagements with them and that’s when I see them really light up #FutureOfWork #EmergingWorkforce #CyberSecurity I presented earlier this year to both college and high school student and I’m a little bias but I adore the elementary school level because the questions are so unique and really challenging to answer at this level.

MUSK IS A NAZI
massive protest. San Francisco is done with the world’s richest Nazi, Elon Musk, and his Tesla swasticars. Fuck Trump, fuck Musk, fuck fascism and fuck Nazis. $TSLA
Today is the anniversary of the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. We know everything about that guy, and we know nothing about the guy in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. WHY?
How Elon Musk’s SpaceX Secretly Allows Investment From China
It’s not uncommon for foreigners to buy U.S. stock through a vehicle in the Cayman Islands, often to save money on taxes. But experts said it was strange for the party on the other side of a deal — the U.S. company — to prefer such an arrangement.
Musk has been given more power over the federal government than any other private individual since the founding. This is the world that the Supreme Court’s campaign-finance deregulation efforts have created.
Elon Musk Is Demolishing the Rationale for Citizens United
The Supreme Court said in 2010 that the decision wouldn’t damage Americans’ faith in democracy. Whoops.
TESLA IS SOMEHOW MISSING 1.4 BILLION
“Falling stock prices, plummeting car sales, protests, vandalism – what’s going on at Tesla? To add to the fire, a new report looked into Tesla’s cash flow statements and capital expenditures over the last 6 months of 2024. Compared to the company’s valuation of the assets it had acquired, the report found anomalies — namely a missing $1.4 billion.”

DOGE staffer Marko Elez, fired from Treasury for racist posts, wasn’t just rehired but has had his portfolio expanded to at least five agencies, new court filings show. Marko Elez is back in govt (and has been for weeks); Amy Gleason’s job is to recommend DOGE detailees to agencies (who can say no), Luke Farritor has access to 12 sensitive databases. New details on DOGE in Saturday court filing.
Remember this?
Trump: “Elon Musk gives me $45 million a month. We have to make life good for people like him.”
@TristanSnell
DOGE is actually INCREASING the deficit.
It has cut only a small fraction of what it’s claimed to cut.
And it’s cutting the IRS and CFPB — both of which GAIN revenue for the government.
So DOGE is a money loser — except for Elon Musk, who profits off fat government contracts.

Elon Musk says he’s stepping down from DOGE in May—after claiming he “saved” $1 trillion like it’s pocket change.
But here’s what really happened:
Mass layoffs. Asset fire sales. Gutting entire departments. And now he’s moonwalking out like the job’s done.
This wasn’t efficiency—it was demolition dressed up as reform. And the bill? It’s coming later.
@SkylineReport
Donald Trump’s relentless golfing escapades during his second term have ignited a firestorm of outrage across the nation and online, with taxpayers footing a jaw-dropping bill exceeding $26 million in just the first two months of 2025 alone. The sheer audacity of these lavish expenditures has critics foaming at the mouth, especially given Trump’s brazen attacks on federal workers for supposedly slacking off—exposing a hypocrisy so glaring it could blind you from a mile away. The online backlash is ablaze with accusations of shameless self-dealing, as many of these taxpayer-funded joyrides conveniently land at Trump’s own glitzy resorts, fueling suspicions that he’s funneling public cash straight into his personal piggy bank. Meanwhile, the country grapples with towering economic and leadership crises, leaving people screaming: how can the so-called leader of the free world justify perfecting his backswing while America burns?
The Greater Cleveland Food Bank lost 20 truckloads—2 million dollars’ worth—of emergency food this week due to Trump admin cuts. That’s a million pounds of food gone. The “Today in Ohio” podcast hosts are calling it out: this is either incompetence or deliberate cruelty.
JUST IN: Citadel Securities is being named in a lawsuit for ‘spoofing trades’ and depressing a company’s stock price through ‘false sale orders’
This has major implications and could set precedent if found liable.
@JeepneyTango
This should be a slam dunk for the plaintiffs b/c there’s already precedence: a handful of big banks were found guilty of price manipulation via spoofing of gold futures on COMEX/NYMEX – 2 jpm traders got 2 year prison sentences too.
@Trevayame
This is what they do in crypto btw. They can suppress market caps synthetically with multiple wallets via algos spoofing selling.
