News And Current Events•Trump accuses big oil firms of price-gouging driversEnglish
1·3 天前Even though I am pretty sure this is the sort of thing that the American left likes - standing up for the everyday citizen against the interests of big business - it is something that will be seen only with skepticism.
Right wing populism could lead to more cooperation between left and right, but this will just be ignored.

Crime •Trump crackdown uncovers $6.5B in fraud — and your taxes were wasted on diamonds, Ferraris and a boat named ‘Butt Nekkid’English
2·3 天前Sure, you can feel that way. We all have our own preferences…
And a preference is just another term for a bias that has a positive connotation.
Let us enjoy posting our own content.

Crime •Trump crackdown uncovers $6.5B in fraud — and your taxes were wasted on diamonds, Ferraris and a boat named ‘Butt Nekkid’English
11·4 天前Here’s the Wall Street Journal covering it.
This is the CNN headline: Trump administration charges 455 people, including doctors, with $6.5 billion in healthcare fraud
It has less information about the fraudsters themselves, but a key claim is repeated:
Officials highlighted one defendant who they claim rubber stamped a student’s cardiovascular test as normal without alerting the family that his heart was enlarged. The 18-year-old college basketball player, Kaiden Francis, died weeks later during a workout.
Oh, and check out the New York Times headline:
Ferraris and Shell Companies: Justice Dept. Unveils Medicare Fraud Charges
Medicare paid nearly $15 billion in 2025 for expensive wound coverings called skin substitutes, a spending spike that analysts have called one of the largest examples of waste in the federal health program’s history.
The spending was fueled by multiple kickback schemes that enriched both the companies that manufactured skin substitutes and the doctors and nurses who applied them, according to charges the Justice Department recently filed.
Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, announced the charges Tuesday as part of a larger suite of health care prosecutions against 455 defendants who, in total, are accused of $6.5 billion in fraudulent billing.
…
The charging documents describe Mr. Rowan assisting health care providers with setting up shell companies in which the manufacturer could deposit doctors’ rebates. Amounts as large as $71 million would be wired into those accounts, the documents said.
The charges against Mr. Rowan list some of his purchases with the Medicare funds, including a $47,000 Rolex watch and a life insurance policy that cost $1 million.
…
“She was using human beings, American citizens, as living piggy banks,” Andrew Ferguson, the executive director of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, said of Ms. Yukee’s behavior at a news conference on Tuesday.
She used that money, the documents say, to purchase a $600,000 Ferrari, a $865,000 Bulgari necklace and a multimillion dollar home in Hawaii, as well as to fund the construction of a “$4.6 million beach resort in the Philippines.”
It’s the same information as in the NY Post article, but the Post article goes more in-depth.

News And Current Events•U.N. Secretary-General Demands $1.3 Trillion a Year to Fight 'Climate Chaos'English
1·4 天前Sure, so where’s the lie?
You can find the claim in the headline right at the UN website:
Equally, “developed countries must keep their promises", including support to the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage and the Green Climate Fund, the Secretary-General continued, noting that the $300 billion pledged to developing countries must be delivered along with concrete steps to mobilize $1.3 trillion a year by 2035.
Poison the well all you want, but when it checks out, it checks out. Enough said.

Christianity•Nolte: James 'God Is Non-Binary’ Talarico Admits He’s a 'Christian Who Hates Christianity’English
24·4 天前Right, we cannot be hypocritical about this sort of thing.
We are told to apply our judgments to ourselves, and to not judge based on the appearance.
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.
John 7:24
I would also add that I am not judging much at all here - he has made statements, and he is making his own position clear… It does not seem to match up with what Christianity is very well, and I think the criticism of it is valid…
But yes, I do appreciate the general position of non-judgment.
That is even why I highly value both liberty and peace - at the heart of both of these is non-judgment. And at the heart of non-judgment is free discussion and inquiry.

Fediverse•Mastodon looks to newsletters to help revive the open social webEnglish
3·10 天前With the software’s latest release, the social networking platform is introducing email newsletters, a feature that will allow writers to send their posts directly to subscribers’ inboxes, even if those subscribers don’t have or want a Mastodon account.
My vision is that every user can use their account to become a spambot…
Just think of it. A whole new set of accounts to manually add to your spam filter/unsub from.
These guys are visionary.

News And Current Events•Europe Stayed Out of the U.S.-Iran War. Now It’s ‘Ready to Act.’English
2·10 天前Europe will do nothing but talk and try to guide discussions because it has no real weight to throw around.
I am not saying this to be a Debbie Downer. It’s just a fact that they are the junior powers to the US, and Trump has made it very clear that their input will be ignored and any attempt for them to leverage the US would be met with a disproportional response.

2·20 天前Right, it seems ti be a rather complicated situation. I was also surprised by this…
But I have hope a full recovery is possible. Like, judging by the pictures, he will look quite normal… But perhaps there is some kind of nerve damage at play here that is just something a layman like me can’t know about that complicates the matter.
Regardless, Godspeed to this guy.

1·20 天前I actually do not know much at all about Bialik’s stances other than her feminism and her zionism…! I posted this just thinking that she was otherwise largely orthodox in her views.
But hey, if she wants to put forward this argument and I want to post it in a near dead section of Lemmy… Don’t tase me, bro!

2·23 天前Although I must say, credit where credit is due, they did end up sentencing Henry Nowak’s killer to life in prison, which exceeded all my expectations of the UK’s justice system.
Right, and now I am very curious to see what is going to happen with the charges against his parents.

News And Current Events•Israeli settlers are driving Palestinian shepherds from their grazing landsEnglish
2·24 天前He and other local Palestinians have seen settlers destroy their crops, attack their homes, and assault shepherds and farmers working the grazing lands around the village, with growing ferocity and incidence.
This line kills me - it would be ten times better as ‘with growing ferocity and frequency.’
This is how we know AJ isn’t going over its work with AI - they would have caught this.

























Most people don’t know what is happening, right, lol. It’s just one of those things where I think it’s a ceasefire which means Hamas doesn’t fight while Israel conducts operations.
