Yesterday, the Live Nation CEO said a breakup would be an unlikely result of the potential DOJ lawsuit because the DOJ is looking at sector-specific conduct, not conduct that results from its overall structure. If I were an investor, this wouldn't make me feel very confident.

These new subpoenas for $masi don't seem good. We wrote about issues with the pulse oximeters already h/t Sara Sirota . Seems like the DOJ may be pursuing a "reverse" false claims theory. library.thecapitolforum.com/docs/7mupd5x58…

NEW: Three former liaisons at an Addus HomeCare $ADUS unit — all single parents — told me they've been sued and lost jobs after breaking noncompete agreements with the care provider. "It's almost like modern slavery," one said. Only in The Capitol Forum: library.thecapitolforum.com/docs/7nyr9bg4h…
