In a new @JAMA_current study, we examined both hospital closures and openings. Since 2010, there has been a net loss of over 200 hospitals and over 24,000 inpatient beds. While the focus has been on rural closures, hospital closures are as much an urban phenomenon as a rural one

From 2010 to 2025, US acute care hospital closures exceeded openings, resulting in a net loss of hospitals and hospital beds. Closure rates were similar in urban and rural areas, while smaller, for-profit, and safety net hospitals closed more often, indicating that threats to acute care access extend beyond rural settings. ja.ma/4yyPyn9

I'm a little shocked that I'm shocked at this point but I can't emphasize as someone who worked at HHS and with CMS what a big deal this is. This is a huge signal that something is very, very wrong and Trump appointees are inserting themselves in highly inappropriate ways.

New: Trump is sending emails to millions of Medicare enrollees today to tout $90 payments and his broader health policies. Democrats and advocates have said the move is an inappropriate stunt. with @iarnsdorf

Lawyers for President Donald Trump issued a letter demanding the Center for American Progress retract a factual report or face a $5 billion lawsuit. That report analyzes the impact of the administration’s deployments of the National Guard in cities around the country, finding that they had no measurable impact on the rate of violent crime reductions. In response, CAP President and CEO @NeeraTanden issued the following statement: americanprogress.org/press/s…

Silencing research that is inconvenient to government policy is anathema to free speech and the First Amendment. CAP will neither cower nor bend to this attack on independent research. nytimes.com/2026/08/21/us/po…

Trump Threatens Suit Over Report He Doesn’t Like, Aiming to Intimidate a Critic

It was the latest example of President Trump’s bid to use the legal system against those who voice unflattering facts and opinions generally protected by the First Amendment.

Very excited to share something we built at @EconomicSecProj: the Affordability Dashboard. There's a bunch of scattered data, national and state, I'm always pulling, stuff useful for politicos, reporters, and activists on affordability, so we vibe-coded it all into one place. /1
