[ad_1] Photo by Markus Spiske The Trump Administration has launched a novel attack on Medicaid accusing blue state Attorneys General (AGs) of not cracking down on fraud — and using that as an excuse to cut funding for New York State’s Medicaid fraud agency, which has a strong record of stopping fraud. To be clear, allegations of Medicaid fraud do not claim that individual Medicaid beneficiaries have cheated the government and enriched themselves. States have in place rigorous protocols for verifying the eligibility of individuals for enrollment in their Medicaid programs. While an individual who is not eligible may occasionally…

[ad_1] On July 2, 1976, the United States Supreme Court decided Gregg v. Georgia, ruling that capital punishment does not violate the Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment. For 36 of the 50 summers since, a group of death penalty abolitionists has gathered to protest that decision. “Starving for Justice” is an annual fast, vigil, and protest calling for an end to capital punishment. Organized by the Abolitionist Action Committee with support from Death Penalty Action, the event brings together activists and advocacy groups each July for a series of speeches and demonstrations. This year, participants set up a…

[ad_1] The 2026 midterms are well underway, and a familiar pattern is emerging: Turnout remains doggedly low. Most recently, just 21% of eligible voters participated in North Dakota’s primary election, while West Virginia reported similarly low turnout despite increased early voting participation. New York City is another somber case study. Even with growing concern about the health of American democracy, the gap between passion and action persists. Various barriers to the polls, such as restrictive registration deadlines, transportation challenges, and demanding work schedules widen this gap. A whopping 31% of eligible voters aged 18-29 did not vote in 2024 because they were too busy, ran into conflicts…

[ad_1] Dance by Henri Matisse. 1910 Hermitage Museum. Public Domain. That is striking about The Lost Art of Healing (1996) is that its author Bernard Lown (1921-2021), the renowned cardiologist who pioneered life-saving technological advances, makes clear that vital to heart health and recovery are human relationships that are being increasingly ignored in technology-worshipping medicine. For Lown, two relationship areas that are critical in heart health and recovery are: (1) the relationship between the physician and the patient; and (2) the relationships between patients with their partners, family members, and other significant people in their lives. Tragically, the current absurd…

[ad_1] Two teenagers were detained by police in San Mateo, California, earlier this week after a Waymo representative alerted law enforcement that the vehicle’s underage occupants were drinking alcohol and shooting what appeared to be a real weapon out of the driverless car.  A Waymo representative, “monitoring the vehicle’s live interior camera feeds,” called the San Mateo Police Department after seeing the teens fire a toy water-bead blaster that resembled a real gun, according to NBC Bay Area. Waymo shared the car’s location with authorities and disabled the vehicle after telling its teen occupants it was “experiencing mechanical trouble,” according…

[ad_1] Francesca Albanese talks about her new book, international law, and how media complicity in cases such at that of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has become one of the greatest enablers of injustice.
