The economic claims amount is uncapped, which will permit other device users to apply for compensation. This tentative settlement, which is subject to federal court approval, does not address other significant claims in the plaintiffs’ cases involving personal injury or the cost of medical care related to use of the breathing machines. The company has faced a multiyear setback, after beginning recalls in the United States of about five million of its breathing machines, which are intended for people with sleep apnea and other maladies. The lawsuits have claimed that flaking foam and gasses emitted from the machines were linked to health issues including respiratory illnesses, lung cancer and death. The foam was used in the machines to reduce noise and vibration.

Walgreens has been shifting away from pharmacy and retail to focus more on health care services, with mixed results. “While the wisdom of this move is debatable, health care is not Ms. Brewer’s forte.”Before joining Walgreens, Ms. Brewer was the chief operating officer of Starbucks and previously served as chief executive of Sam’s Club, a division of Walmart. As Walgreens leans more into the health care business, it faces several hurdles, industry experts said. It is rare for a woman to replace another female chief executive.

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said this week that the U.S. disaster relief fund has a balance of $3.4 billion, which will be exhausted in the first half of September if Congress does not approve additional money. President Joe Biden called on Congress Thursday to pass $12 billion in additional funding for the disaster fund next month, at the latest, when hurricane season reaches its peak. We need this disaster relief request met and we need to do it in September — we can't wait," he added. With funds running low, FEMA is prioritizing the immediate needs of people impacted by the Maui wildfires, Hurricane Idalia that swept through Florida this week and other extreme weather events that may come, Criswell told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida said on Wednesday that Washington has known since June that FEMA's disaster fund was "woefully low."

☆ Who Profits After Natural Disasters Like Hurricanes and Wildfires
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-31 | by ( Anthony Dimauro | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +13 min

After Hurricane Michael struck Florida in 2018, home sales rose significantly, allowing disaster investors to reap the rewards. This venture has the potential to be even more rewarding given the increasing frequency of natural disasters in the US. But federal disaster relief is painfully slow to respond and often doesn't cover most of the costs. And while moratoriums on damaged land sales aren't a long-term, legally tenable solution, there are ways state officials might be able to deter disaster investors. As the threat of natural disasters increases, so will disaster profiteers.

☆ Little used tax-free benefit can help employees pay their student loans
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-29 | by ( Jeanne Sahadi | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

That $5,250 is the federal cap on the amount of tax-free money that employers may offer to help defray employees’ qualified costs for their own education, including tuition and fees. In response to the Society of Human Resource Management’s 2023 employer benefits survey, only 8% of organizations said they offer student loan benefits to employees, a percentage that hasn’t changed for five years. But lawmakers who advocated for tax-advantaged employer benefits to help with student loan payments are concerned there hasn’t been enough public awareness of it. That may be of particular interest now that the yearslong pause in payments on federal student loans is expiring. But for anyone who also has to pay off private student loans, the amount they shell out every month is likely much higher.

Over more than two months, Giuliani served as the public face of Trump's election challenges, which ultimately failed. The money came in response to countless fundraising appeals that claimed it was needed to fund Trump's election challenges in court.

In the week following the indictment, the campaign sent out 34 fundraising emails directly referencing the criminal charges, according to a Reuters review of campaign communications. Following the indictment, Trump's support rose to 49% in an April 21-24 survey while DeSantis slipped to 23%.

Mr. Cohen has said that the Trump Organization initially paid these bills but halted payments after he agreed to cooperate in the investigations. Mr. Cohen was once a close ally of Mr. Trump — a trusted lieutenant whose job it became to clean up his boss’s messes. Soon afterward, Mr. Cohen paid Ms. Daniels $130,000 to keep silent. The legal pressure placed a strain on his relationship with Mr. Trump, and the men had a falling out. In April, Mr. Trump filed his own lawsuit against Mr. Cohen, accusing the former fixer of betraying his confidences and “spreading falsehoods about him.” That lawsuit, filed in federal court in Florida, was not part of the settlement talks.

Companies Trump Organization Inc FollowWASHINGTON, July 21 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's onetime lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen is expected to settle his lawsuit against the Trump Organization over missed reimbursements of legal fees and costs, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday. Cohen originally sued in March 2019 to recoup $1.9 million in fees, plus $1.9 million he was ordered to forfeit in a criminal case. The fees kept growing, and the Trump Organization has paid some of them, court papers show. The New York Times reported the proposed settlement earlier on Friday. Cohen, a longtime employee of the firm and of Trump, became a critic of the former president and testified that Trump had directed him to break the law.

July 19 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Wednesday denied Donald Trump's bid to move from New York state court to federal court the criminal case against the former U.S. president stemming from a hush money payment to a porn star. Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, had argued the case belonged in federal court, claiming that the indictment related to his 2016 presidency and involved federal election law. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in Manhattan bought none of his arguments. "The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the matter was purely a personal item of the President -- a cover-up of an embarrassing event," Hellerstein wrote in a 25-page decision. In the hush-money case, Justice Juan Merchan of New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan has set a trial for March 2024.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) speaks during a press conference on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with members of the House Freedom Caucus on July 14, 2023 in Washington, DC. The House narrowly passed an annual defense policy bill on Friday after Republicans added provisions on abortion and transgender surgeries — measures that were a nonstarter for Democrats. The amendments, adopted Thursday, would ban the secretary of defense from paying for or reimbursing service members for abortion-related expenses and transgender surgeries and hormone treatments. House Democratic leaders said Thursday that members of their caucus will vote against passing the bill. The defense legislation will eventually need to be reconciled with a version of the bill under consideration in the Senate.

Leqembi, from drugmakers Eisai and Biogen , is the first medicine proven to slow the progression of Alzheimer's in people at the early stages of the memory-robbing disease. Yee added that the firm's channel checks suggest doctors see the registry requirement "as a potential real-world challenge – at least in the initial phase." That includes navigating Medicare's registry requirement and coordinating PET scans and MRIs to screen for dangerous side effects of the drug.

The joint ventures are owed about $3.2 billion from sales handled by PDVSA, one of the people said. Roszarubezhneft, Russia's oil ministry, PDVSA and Venezuela's oil and foreign affairs ministries did not reply to requests for comment. It also could help PDVSA make progress toward its goal of raising Venezuela's oil output by 40% this year. Oil production at the five joint ventures has dwindled as U.S. sanctions have hampered investment and maintenance work, and deterred many buyers of Venezuelan crude.
