“Trump-class” battleships

Three years later, what the government dismissed as theatrical exaggeration is increasingly viewed as prescient foreshadowing. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government, which relies upon the support of ultra-Orthodox parties, is moving Israel toward a more religious and conservative future.

You know things are bad for you when an insurance company is the voice of moral reason.

An unprecedented 15,000 churches are expected to shut their doors this year, far more than the few thousand expected to open, according to denominational reports and church consultants.

Medicare in January will begin AI-powered pre-treatment reviews for select health services in a major policy change that's aimed at rooting out unnecessary care — but alarming providers.

Why it matters: While the change covers only 17 treatments or procedures in a handful of states, it marks a major shift for a program that's historically required very little prior authorization.

In 2017, the success rate for education debt holders in bankruptcy was 61%, and in 2007, it was 40%, Iuliano found.

The improved outcomes for student loan borrowers in bankruptcy stem, in large part, from updated bankruptcy guidelines the Biden administration issued. In November 2022, the U.S. Department of Education and the Department of Justice rolled out a policy that experts say treats student loans more like other types of debt in bankruptcy court. Borrowers can fill out a 15-page attestation form, detailing their financial struggles and making their case for a mulligan.

The Trump administration has not rescinded that guidance. An Education Department spokesperson told CNBC the agency has no current plans to change the approach.
