    Four suspended Secret Service employees duped in case involving federal agent impostors.
    CBS News (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 72% • 5 min read

    Investigators allege that Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 35, who have each been charged with false impersonation of a federal officer, obtained paraphernalia, handguns and assault rifles used by federal law enforcement agencies. Then, according to the FBI, they allegedly used their fake associations with the U.S. government to cozy up to U.S. Secret Service officials with gifts and favors.
    ...
    One of the agents was on the Secret Service detail for first lady Jill Biden. Another is a uniformed division officer at the White House. The third is detailed as a uniformed division officer at Vice President Kamala Harris' residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory. And a fourth was assigned to the presidential protection detail.
    ...
    Lavish gifts given by the suspects to USSS employees were not presented as bribes, but were portrayed as "gifts." Investigators also presented numerous passports and visas that they say belonged to Ali that showed two visas authorizing travel from the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Should Medicare be allowed to negotiate drug prices?

335 votes, 35 comments

Context: Medicare caps payments for high cost Alzheimer's drug with questionnable efficacy.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

If Medicare can negotiate these prices, not only does it reduce the costs for the system, giving it more solvency and requiring fewer contribution increases, but it would lower the cost for everyone else because Medicare is the biggest entity paying for medications.


No - Medicare and government involvement is the cause of the...
