Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon are all named in copies of Jeffrey Epstein's daily schedules released Friday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

Why it matters: The schedules make reference to Musk possibly flying to an "island" in 2014, and Thiel and Bannon apparently dining with Epstein as recently as 2017 and 2019, respectively.

The Trump administration will launch a program next year to find out how much money an artificial intelligence algorithm could save the federal government by denying care to Medicare patients. in c/usa@midwest.social

Randomness is part of AI algorithms. So this is in part similar to rolling a dice to decide if people get denied medical care. Thanks for this Republican voters.

“Shared savings arrangements mean that vendors financially benefit when less care is delivered,” a structure that can create a powerful incentive for companies to deny medically necessary care, said Jennifer Brackeen, senior director of government affairs for the Washington State Hospital Association.

And doctors and policy experts say that’s only one concern.

Rathi said the plan “is not fully fleshed out” and relies on “messy and subjective” measures. The model, he said, ultimately depends on contractors to assess their own results, a choice that makes the results potentially suspect.

Kirk is the first person in my whole life who has openly admitted he judges people by the color of their skin and hasn't been condemned for that. It is shocking to see how far America has regressed back to the past.

Bureau of Labor Statistics postpones key data report in c/usa@midwest.social
[–] Kanger@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You just know that the BLS has the inflation numbers and those numbers must look REALLY bad. And the people who haven't yet been fired by authoritarian bully Treason Trump don't want to be fired so they are delaying the release of the numbers on Trump's orders so they can figure out a way to fudge and alter the data. There is no way that this is unrelated to Trump firing the BLS head. And because the BLS inflation statistic are tied to things like social security increases and TIPS bond yields, this is also going to steal money from American's pockets.

Bureau of Labor Statistics postpones key data report (www.axios.com)
 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday postponed the release of a key annual report central to future inflation data.

Why it matters: The BLS — charged with collecting critical data on employment, prices and more — did not explain the reasoning for the delay or when it might ultimately be released. There is heightened concern about the future of U.S. statistics, including the politicization and accuracy of crucial data that affects the stock market and interest rates.

Charlie Kirk is the first person in my entire life (am over 50) who has openly stated he judges people by the color of their skin and wasn't condemned for it. I certainly never expected to see America regress that far back into the past.
