  • Biden signs massive climate and health care legislation

    Aug 17, 2022

    WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden signed Democrats' landmark climate change and health care bill into law on Tuesday, delivering what he has called the "final piece" of his pared-down domestic agenda, as he aims to boost his party's standing with voters less than three months before the midterm elections. The legislation includes the most substantial federal investment in history to fight climate change — some $375 billion over the decade — and would cap prescription drug costs at $2,000 out-of-pocket annually for Medicare recipients. It also...

    Aug 17, 2022

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday issued its long-awaited final rule allowing the sale of over-the-counter hearing aids, a move aimed at increasing access and bringing down costs for millions of Americans.

  • Prosecutors struggle to catch up to a tidal wave of pandemic fraud

    Aug 17, 2022

    In the midst of the pandemic, the U.S. government gave unemployment benefits to the incarcerated, the imaginary and the dead. It sent money to "farms" that turned out to be front yards. It paid people who were on the government's "Do Not Pay List." It gave loans to 342 people who said their name was "N/A." As the virus shuttered businesses and forced people out of work, the federal government sent a flood of relief money into programs aimed at helping the newly unemployed and boosting the...

  • Tribe Embraces Recreational Marijuana Sales on Reservation Where Alcohol Is Banned

    Aug 17, 2022

    PINE RIDGE, S.D. - In a growing number of U.S. states, people can both drink alcohol and legally smoke recreational marijuana. In others, they can use alcohol but not pot.

Citizens of the Oglala Sioux Tribe overwhelmingly voted in 2020 to legalize recreational and medical marijuana on their sprawling reservation, which has prohibited the sale and consumption of alcohol for...
