With this new step, we will try to be the voice of science and art around the world, which are being silenced and suppressed.
Our news will be multilingual.
Of course, we will be positive and progressive/constructive.

The report 'The social value of probation in the Netherlands', after eight years of research by Saxion, shows that the guidance of offenders and suspects not only prevents safety and damage costs.

Proponents of the fireworks ban in the Netherlands mainly point to the accidents that happen during the lighting of fireworks.
But the many lives and limbs that disappear from those who make fireworks, mostly at illegal factories, often remain underexposed.

2025 is on course to be joint-second warmest year.
The #C3S Climate Bulletin reports that November was 1.54°C above pre-industrial levels, making it the third-warmest November on record. The 2023–2025 average is likely to be the first three-year average exceeding 1.5°C.

Weedy but important detail: The HSA lump sums would only be available to enrollees opting into the skimpiest — catastrophic or bronze-tier — ACA plans.
Most Marketplace enrollees in most states have incomes < 250% FPL and receive extra help with cost-sharing — but only if enrolled in a silver plan

And we're not talking about a narrow majority; for plan year 2025, only one in four people who newly enrolled in or renewed coverage during the open enrollment period had incomes > 250% FPL.

I'm also somewhat flummoxed by the HSA policy being limited to two years, in this version of a proposal.
Who looks at what's happened with temporary ePTCs (and the doc fix before that) and goes "yeah, that's a model we should emlulate?"

With ePTCs, Democrats ran aground with fiscally conservative Democrats (specifically Manchin) and the inability to raise the deficit outside the budget window (because they were using reconciliation)

Setting aside that this proposal can't get to 60 votes, I don't think the deficit concerns get raised here — we don't have a score for the HSA piece, specifically, but appropriating funds for CSRs (which they also propose and would increase net-of-subsidy premiums) does reduce the deficit

After reading, there doesn't seem to be much here beyond a plainer-language recapitulation of the statutory language.
There is not, for example, more clarity on how the Secretary will choose to define medically frail or when attestation will be considered sufficient to demonstrate compliance.

To CMS's credit, the guidance does helpfully illustrate the *absolutely bonkers* timeline states are staring down while they wait for additional guidance

idk, maybe I'm missing some subtext (or supertext conveyed outside the CIB) that actually helps states make implementation choices or better understand their flexibility, but I'm not seeing that here — would love to hear from folks in the trenches if I am actually overlooking something important
