This is wild, @cigna: per ProPublica, managers were telling doctors that raises, bonuses and stock options were tied to how quickly they decided case

SCOOP: I reviewed an internal State Dept memo, parts of which was classified, that included the most extensive and serious to date warnings to Secretary Blinken over Israel’s possible non-compliance with international humanitarian law. Here’s what I learned 1/X

🚨Scoop: U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to announce within days sanctions against the Israel Defense Forces 'Netzah Yehuda' battalion for human rights violations in the occupied West Bank. My story on Axios
axios.com/2024/04/20/us-…

8 children killed in Israeli strike while playing foozeball, CNN reports, showing, w/permission, faces and bodies of the dead & the cries of grieving parents. Every 10 min a child is killed or injured in Gaza, per reporter Jeremy Diamond.

New: Blinken has known for months his own experts concluded multiple Israeli units should be disqualified from U.S. aid for flagrant human rights abuses.

And for months, he's sat on those recommendations. 'They've been sitting in his briefcase.' propublica.org/article/israel…

NEW from Brett Murphy:

A special State Dept panel sought in Dec to BAN Israeli military & police units from receiving US military aid.

The units are alleged to have committed gross human rights violations.

Killings. Rapes.

Blinken sat on it.

Docs offer a rare glimpse inside the fed govt, where trade and health officials battled over the US position on a WHO resolution abt restricting marketing for “toddler formula.”
They shed light on how the US often took up the baby formula industry’s cause: projects.propublica.org/toddler-formul…

Stunning: U.S. agencies have intervened in at least 17 jurisdictions over the last several decades on behalf of the formula industry, often to oppose measures that would restrict formula marketing or require additional safety precautions. ⁦Heather Vogell⁩ propublica.org/article/how-am…

The US has been working on behalf of the baby formula industry to quash regulation around the globe — even for questionable products like “toddler milk,” which critics call unhealthy and doctors say is unnecessary. My story: propublica.org/article/how-am…
