It’s that time of year again. Open enrollment is when you can sign up for health insurance, make changes to your plan, or cancel your plan—whether that plan is through your job, Medicare, or the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace.

The 2024 presidential election is just around the corner as former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris rush to garner votes ahead of Nov. 5.

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan began a nationwide vaccination campaign Monday to protect 45 million children from polio after a surge in new cases that has hampered years of efforts to stop the disease in one of the two countries where it has never been eradicated.

The two spoke for almost an hour, while playing Madden and Crazy Taxi, about a range of topics—from social security benefits for children who have lost a parent to their reactions to Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump’s Sunday night rally speaker who joked about Puerto Rico being an “island of garbage.” But the right has seized on one three-second moment in which Walz seemed to promise Ocasio-Cortez that Democrats, if elected, would “put a gavel in your hand in the House.” “Walz told Ocasio-Cortez that if he and Kamala Harris win the election, he would make her the Speaker of the House,” Fox News reported.

Bad Bunny threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday by sharing a video of the Democratic presidential nominee shortly after a comedian at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally made crude jokes about Latinos and called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” angering artists and some Hispanic Republicans.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The video Bad Bunny shared with his 45 million Instagram followers shows Harris saying “there’s so much at stake in this election for Puerto Rican voters and for Puerto Rico.” A representative of the artist confirmed that Bad Bunny is supporting Harris. Bad Bunny signaled his support moments after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made the remarks on Puerto Rico.
