16-year-old Arnoldo Bazan and his father were getting McDonald’s before school when immigration agents pulled them over.

Over the weekend, ICE agents repeatedly used the killing of Renee Good to threaten Minnesotans recording their activities. "Did you not learn from what just happened?" They thought it was a "lesson" and now they'd be left alone. Didn't work.

Thousands of Washington state Medicare users could soon have claims denied by AI
Starting Jan. 1, traditional Medicare recipients in Washington state will face a new hurdle to get certain procedures covered — private AI companies that get paid based on how many claims they deny.

I consumed brain surgery when I was 20. My mom’s insurance company hit us with rescission (a practice finally outlawed decades later with the ACA) and for the next few years credit agencies hounded me.
