UPS Labport increases profit margins, improves healthcare outcomes
Jan 6, 2025— UPS Healthcare was a $10 billion business at the end of 2023, accounting for about one-tenth of total revenue. The company aims to double that number by 2026 with the help of acquisitions and new business ventures.
For its latest endeavor, UPS is renting out about 100,000 square feet of custom laboratory space near its main air-cargo hub in Louisville. Construction was completed at the end of the year, and medical companies have already locked up all the available space for the next 10-plus years. By setting up shop directly on UPS property, they’ll be able to process test results within a matter of hours. The facility, known as Labport, will soon be bustling with technicians preparing samples, scientists peering under microscopes, and computers churning out data to treat faraway patients.
That doesn’t sound like a parcel company. In fact, the business is so unusual that it’s ditching the trademark brown that’s made UPS delivery drivers, trucks and cargo planes recognizable around the world for the last century. UPS Healthcare employees will wear navy blue instead.

J6ers Class Action Lawsuit
I am one who believes that the events on January 6 were a set-up. Democrats knew that Trump supporters would be flooding D.C., so they withdrew law enforcement, removed physical guardrails, seeded the crowd with provocateurs, trusted the press of people to steer innocents into trouble, and then used a weaponized Justice Department to destroy people who showed up on January 6 and found themselves near the Capitol. That’s why I happen to think the planned $50 billion class action J6 prisoner lawsuit is a good idea to expose the government’s role in J6. Read more.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has pardoned, commuted the prison sentences or vowed to dismiss the cases of all of the 1,500-plus people charged with crimes in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, including people convicted of assaulting police officers, using his clemency powers on his first day back in office to undo the massive prosecution of the unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy.
