Wednesday, January 8th, 2025 - Meta scraps fact-checking; Cannon blocks Trump report; Minneapolis police reforms; JAMA study; Medical debt off credit report
Today’s Headlines: Meta announced it’s ending its fact-checking program, replacing it with community notes and undoing limits on political content in feeds. Meanwhile, Dana White, UFC president and Trump ally, joined Meta’s board. Judge Aileen Cannon temporarily blocked Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s classified documents and election interference cases, pending appeal. Trump criticized former President Carter during his press conference and hinted at military action to control the Panama Canal and Greenland. Donald Trump Jr. visited Greenland as a private citizen but received no official meetings, while Greenland reaffirmed it’s not for sale. Minneapolis and the DOJ reached a consent decree to implement mandatory police reforms after George Floyd's killing. A new study found fewer than 0.1% of teens receive gender-affirming care, despite 3% identifying as transgender in a recent CDC survey. The Biden administration announced plans to remove medical debt from credit reports and eliminate $15 billion in medical debt, expected to improve credit scores for over 15 million Americans.
