Race-conscious admissions are not dead. This isn't the catastrophe it's being made out as.

Race-Conscious Admissions Are On Stronger Footing Than Ever

The new rules for race-conscious admissions are better than the old ones.

How Often Do Health Insurers Say No to Patients?
No One Knows.
==

Insurers’ denial rates are a critical measure of how reliably they pay for customers’ care. But they remain mostly secret to the public.

There’s nowhere a consumer or employer can go to look up all insurers’ denial rates.

Federal and state regulators have done little to change that.

@joestone @Catonauts @picard And even when you're in-network, there are lots of fun exceptions and hidden catches...not to mention the deductible, which can be (and frequently is) thousands of dollars of initial costs that the insurance company is exempted from.

The #SupremeCourt today rebuffed a legal theory that argued that state legislatures have the authority to set election rules with little oversight from state courts, a major decision that turns away a conservative push to empower state legislatures. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/27/supreme-court-rejects-independent-state-legislature-theory-00103793?cid=mas

@tanepiper @ersatzmaus @futurebird It's funny to read this because I went to the Netherlands for the first time a couple summers ago and only encountered it once, just figured it was a one-off. Otherwise it was completely fine, indistinguishable from the US or other western European countries I've visited.
