they don’t seem to be concerned about the policies themselves, just that scrutiny means they can’t pursue those and because of that they can’t meet the forecasts.

FTA:

The investors described this as “materially false and misleading,” pointing to the immense public scrutiny the company and the broader health insurance industry experienced in the wake of Thompson’s killing.

The group, which is seeking unspecified damages, argued that the public backlash prevented the company from pursuing “the aggressive, anti-consumer tactics that it would need to achieve” its earnings goals.

“As such, the Company was deliberately reckless in doubling down on its previously issued guidance,” the suit reads.

The company eventually revised its 2025 outlook on April 17, citing a needed shift in corporate strategy — a move that caused its stock to drop more than 22% that day.

“The company denies any allegations of wrongdoing and intends to defend the matter vigorously,” a UnitedHealthcare spokesperson said in a statement.

Thompson’s fatal shooting on the streets of New York City in broad daylight sent shockwaves across the nation.

Luigi Mangione, the 27-year-old man accused of the killing, has pleaded not guilty to federal and state charges against him. The legal defense fund for Mangione surpassed the $1 million mark in donations on Tuesday.

Time to name and shame these shareholders.

fucking ghouls.

You’d be surprise many fake ids get carried at hotels.

But not usually for proving one’s gender.

I’d say calling them a “six pack of white women” would never be acceptable in a profession setting (ie a lawyer commenting on a trial his daughter is working for the defense on.)

There’s better ways to phrase it that is far from being so disparaging.

There may very well be an issue of racism. That’s for comb’s actual defense team to bring to the judges attention.

Further, there absolutely is a better way to express that concern. It was an absolutely sexist comment and highly inappropriate. as a lawyer Geragos should know better.

Especially as he is loosely connected to the defense team and could potentially taint the jury pool.

Well. He could. If he had the mental competence to work a phone.

Call signs are typically insulting and almost never cool. And frequently named for a spectacular fuck up.

They might call one of these guys “Poseidon” now. Or something.

“Poseidon?! That’s a cool call sign! How’d you get it?!”

“Drove off the flight deck…”

“Bwhahaha! You’re THAT guy. Oh fuck. You’re that guy.”

I’m in a signal with Kegseth, and he hasn’t mentioned it….

maybe they should work on that.

It’s all relative. Doesn’t mean Jack was actually chill, though. I mean, he was murdering prostitutes, after all. trump being an evil fuck doesn’t in any way make Pence not-an-evil-fuck.

that’s like saying Jack the Ripper would was a pretty chill dude compared to Hitler.

Sneak in some Jury nullification ads. Watch as they suddenly get yeeted

Pretty sure this is called “high crimes and misdemeanors “,

Too bad our government is largely split between cowards sucking trump off and cowards who are just grateful they’re not the ones sucking him off.

Leave Bondi out of this. She has trouble with math, not cake.

They arrested trump?!?

The order noted that the court was acting on its own initiative and was not responding to a request from anyone

That’s a totally legitimate thing to say when nobody was really asking all that. Totally.

Edit also from the article:

An FBI affidavit says Dugan was “visibly angry” over the agents’ arrival and called the situation “absurd” before leaving the bench and retreating to her chambers. It says she and another judge later approached members of the arrest team inside the courthouse with what witnesses described as a “confrontational, angry demeanor.”

After a back-and-forth with officers over the warrant for Flores-Ruiz, Dugan demanded they speak with the chief judge and led them away from the courtroom, the affidavit says.

After directing the agents to the chief judge’s office, investigators say, Dugan returned to the courtroom and was heard saying words to the effect of “wait, come with me” before ushering Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer through the jury door into a nonpublic area.

It needs to be noted that the same afadavit said that they the DEA agents that were acting on behalf of ICE also saw Flores-Ruiz in the public halway going to the the elevator that went to the parking garage. Where they followed Flores-Ruiz onto the public elevator… and watched him get off, and did not arrest him at any point. Instead they got off on the next level and ran up the stairs like dumbasses.

In short, the case is total bullshit.

oh. and apparently, the door that Flores-Ruiz used to leave the courtroom leads to a hall, which is public, that goes out to the main public hall (where the DEA agents spotted him,) and in a different direction, out to the private hall for juries.

I’m a little surprised that the AP is spewing the same bullshit that the trump admins are. fucking hell. read the damn affidavit already. pay some kid to be a corespondent for a day and look at the layout. It’s not rocket science.

It certainly has nothing to do with the bribes.

But what about elevenses?

Where do I say anything about “offing” the board? That’s rather a leap.

You’re still making the assumption that “they” are the same people. That’s the point here, *Wikipedia-the-organization* is being threatened.

The only way to do that without us knowing is to disappear them. Any other scenario, they would be free to tell us “hey, they stole the entire organization!”, right?

I doubt very much that Wikipedia’s lawyers are t prepping a response even as we speak,

I’m talking about the US government attacking the corporate structure of Wikipedia, which isn’t paranoia because this article is literally about exactly that

No. The article is talking about threats to remove its 501c non profit status.

Such an action would not remove the board or really alter the operational structure

They would be subject to taxes, and some implications with any grants they might receive, while donations to wiki will no longer be tax deductible, and such.

It would be a burden, yes. But there’s exactly zero reason to believe that suddenly Wikipedia would not be Wikipedia.

Neither would there be anything to stop them from moving.

And you’re missing the larger point:

Paranoia is bad. If you jump at every “they could do…” you’re going to be unable to jump at the “they fucking are doing”.

You want something to freak out about? They’re arresting judges for managing their courtroom.

Yeah, threatening to yeet wiki’s nonprofit status is bad. But its a very far cry from offing the board or whoever is leading Wikipedia and installing their own.

This rampant paranoia is not helping the 2yo that got deported.

They can move the website out of the government’s reach, in response to any action they might take. Worrying about any other possibility is just jumping at shadows.
