The premium increases stem in part from rising healthcare costs, including higher prices for medical care and expensive prescription drugs.

Most Americans can expect to pay significantly more each month for health insurance next year, whether they get it through work, the Affordable Care Act or Medicare. In some cases, the premium increases may be the largest in decades and are driven by numerous economic pressures. But they won’t look the same for everyone. Some will pay more in the form of higher copays or deductibles.

“Healthcare costs are going up faster than they have in years, and open enrollment is when the healthcare affordability crisis is really going to hit home for people,” said Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at KFF, a nonpartisan research group. “That’s true for whatever kind of insurance you have.”

Prices have shifted upward in every corner of daily life.

• LG fails to do damage control and continues to act in bad faith.

If you own a LG tv you should really get rid of it as it's a security and privacy nightmare device in your home.

Obviously that was not actually a thing. The ad does tell you it is an illusion.... right before it also tells you it's a scientific wonder that really works.

While $1.98 specs were literally just looking through a feather, millimeter wave scanners more or less can see through clothing. Some produce anatomically explicit images, but recent ones can highlight only prohibited objects like weapons, replacing the body with a cartoon outline. There has been controversy, charges of "virtual strip searches", documented abuses, and updates to laws and technology due to those problems.

In 2026 people must also contend with "nudification apps", which have resulted in suicides, blackmail, significant emotional distress across many countries and cultures, and other issues.

Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, phoned Trump on Thursday and asked for U.S. military help fighting the Houthis, three sources told Reuters. They said the prince was told that Washington would not intervene directly for now but would help with intelligence.

Donald Trump asked the Smithsonian Institution to install a 30ft “Colossus statue” of George Washington outside the National Museum of American History, and a special exhibit honoring the nation’s first president, in a social media post late on Friday.

The president requested that the exhibit continue through February 2032, the 300th anniversary of Washington’s birth.

“He is easily America’s Greatest Hero. Without him, our Country and our Freedoms wouldn’t exist,” Trump posted on Truth Social as he flew to his golf course in Ireland.

The statue of Washington would replace the current Infinity sculpture by New York artist José de Rivera, commissioned by the federal government and installed in 1967.
