Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Is Already Hurting Health Care Facilities

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2026-02-02 23:45:07

The U.S. House made it official Thursday, passing the so-called Big Beautiful Bill in a vote of 218-214. The bill, hailed by President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, is projected to strip at least 17 million people of health insurance over the next decade and add $3-4 trillion to the national debt. And while there are plenty of predictions about what the massive cuts to Medicaid will do to hospital systems around the country long term, we won’t have to wait too long to see the impact. Me

After a long trip, the first thing you tell people when you get home might not be about the bed you slept in or the communal breakfast in the hotel lobby, but hospitality does make a big difference in how you experience a place — whether it’s a spare bed in a stranger’s house or just someone taking the time to show you around.

‘The Strangers – Chapter 2’ Pays Homage to ‘Halloween II’ in First Trailer

Maya (Madelaine Petsch) survived the horrors of The Strangers—but she can’t breathe easy yet. The hospital where she’s supposed to be recovering is hardly a safe place, as the first trailer for The Strangers – Chapter 2 reveals.

F1 the Movie review: A shameless Apple ad that will blow your socks off

The first thing in F1 the Movie, before a single word of dialog is uttered, is a pair of AirPods Max. They're so comfortable, Brad Pitt's lovable loser protagonist Sonny Hayes is able to sleep with them all night, then hop up and begin his day of driving fancy race cars. If you paid $550 for the AirPods Max, you too could be like Brad Pitt! It's hard to ignore the blatant commercialism of F1 the Movie; you might as well call it a $300 million ad for Formula One everything Apple. The film is pro

Elon Musk responds to report that xAI is burning through $1 billion a month

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-03-05 05:29:00

In brief: Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is burning through cash at an astounding rate. According to a new report, the company expects to spend at least $13 billion throughout all of 2025, equivalent to just over $1 billion every month. Musk, of course, has called the report "nonsense." Citing the usual anonymous people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg writes that the $500 million that xAI will earn this year looks positively tiny next to the $13 billion it plans to spend.

But fear not: the game is now available for pre-order at $70 for the standard version. With more new games costing $80, there were fears that Borderlands 4 would follow this trend. But the game has landed on Steam ahead of its September 12 launch with a $70/£60/€70 price tag. That's for the standard edition. There's also a $100/£90/€10

The game's price first came into question when its September 12 release date was announced without pre-order details, and Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford suggested that whether the game came with a $80 price tag was out of his hands.

In recent years, microbiologists have discovered bacteria capable of breaking down various types of plastic, hinting at a more sustainable path forward.
