      GOP strips insulin out-of-pocket cap from bill: ‘Republicans have just gone on the record in favor of expensive insulin’

      Republicans successfully stripped a proposed $35 per month cap on out-of-pocket spending on insulin for patients enrolled in private insurance from the tax and climate bill. The Senate parliamentarian had ruled that the provision, sponsored by Georgia Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock, is not primarily related to the federal budget. That gave the GOP a chance to raise a procedural objection.

A jury ordered Jones to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages for claiming the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax.

      Boy at heart of UK court battle dies after life support ends

      A 12-year-old boy who had been in a coma for four months died Saturday at a London hospital after doctors ended the life-sustaining treatment his family had fought to continue. Archie Battersbee's mother, Hollie Dance, said her son died at 12:15 p.m., about two hours after the hospital began withdrawing treatment. British courts had rejected both the family's effort to extend treatment and a request to move Archie to a hospice, saying neither move was in the child's best interests.

      Here are the 5 most ‘overvalued’ housing markets in the US — they could even see prices plunge 15% to 20% if a bad recession hits

      Years of soaring home prices have led to 96% of the largest markets in United States having overvalued real estate, according to a new analysis by Moody's Analytics. Most of the market now remains overpriced by about 25%. That could lead to particularly sharp declines should the U.S. fall into a recession, warns Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi in an interview with Fortune.

      How old was Jesus when he died? Why scholars are not in agreement on it.

      Jesus Christ (also known as Jesus of Galilee or Jesus of Nazareth) is the central figure in  Christianity who is seen as the son of God. Important aspects of the Christian canon are the Virgin Birth of Jesus from his mother, Mary, and Jesus' death, which was the crucifixion. Research concludes it is difficult to find the exact date of Jesus' death because of differences in the chronology of narratives surrounding his final days.

      Blinken commits U.S. to defending Philippines against armed attacks

      MANILA (Reuters) -The volatile geopolitical situation and fallout from U.S. House speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan underlines the importance of the U.S.-Philippines relationship, Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said on Saturday. Marcos, meeting U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the presidential palace in Manila, said his visit was timely, but he believed Pelosi's trip "did not raise the intensity" of a situation that was already volatile. Blinken is the highest-ranking U.S. official to travel to the Philippines since the inauguration of Marcos, the son of the late strongman who Washington helped flee into exile in Hawaii after a 1986 "people power" uprising.

    • “Rich countries have ignored endemic monkeypox in West and Central Africa for far too long, despite having effective vaccines.”

    • “The biggest worry for Americans is not the disease: It’s that our response to it shows how little we have learned from COVID-19.”

    • “Monkeypox should be a relatively easier virus to control, but only if the United States takes the needed steps now.”

    • “Global health officials must advocate for and enact a unified, coherent approach to fighting the monkeypox pandemic.”
