Topline: Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander claims one of the city’s health insurance funds has “no path to solvency” after labor unions used it to cover pay raises, Weight Watchers and more.

Key facts: New York’s taxpayer-funded Health Insurance Stabilization Fund owes $3.1 billion to outside vendors and the city that it’s unable to pay. The actual amount is likely much higher because expenses from 2024 and 2025 have not been totaled yet, according to Lander’s Dec. 30 audit.

The company responded, telling NPR “We don’t have rules against sharing the name ‘Epstein’ in direct messages and are investigating why some users are experiencing issues.” Continue reading “TikTok Users Report Trouble Posting About Epstein, ICE, Days After Company Finalizes Sale To US Investors”

First of all, let’s establish that, if the federal government were actually serious about eliminating the illegal immigrant population in the United States, it would take the following steps:

· Close illegal immigrant bank accounts, seize the money, and only return it once they’re on a one-way flight back home

· Cut off migration welfare services distributed through state programs by holding federal funding over sanctuary states’ heads

· Institute a 100% tax on foreign remittances

· Throw employers, especially executives of large corporations, in prison for violating labor law

Thus far, the administration hasn’t done any of that, as far as I have seen, and doesn’t seem interested in doing so.
