Rural hospitals are at risk. Cuts to Medicaid and federal health programs could force facilities to scale back or close, leaving families with nowhere to turn for care. Nevada can’t afford these cuts. Health care access should never depend on your zip code.
Rural Texas hospitals warn of more cuts as costs rise, Medicaid shrinks
Two North Texas ERs closed as rising costs, fewer Medicaid dollars and more uninsured patients threaten care in rural Texas communities.

Feel the total lack of surprise from anybody who’s paid any kind of attention to what this administration are doing, that their members talk about people this way.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Jamal Khashoggi would be 67 years old today had Jared Kushner not provided MBS with the intel needed to facilitate his murder. MBS later rewarded Kushner with a $2 billion dollar slush fund.

It's horrible no matter where it happens, and organizers + informal community safety networks have worked very hard to interrupt it despite deep disadvantage against state violence and fragmentary info.

Consider how scared and burnt out folks are in Back of the Yards after wave upon wave of it.

Rogers Park and surrounding neighborhoods were hit hard by immigration enforcement activity over the weekend.

There's no competition here, but I want to name that the same heavy, violent, fast-moving abduction pattern has invaded the southwest side about three times a week for over a month now.

I'm in BotY, Brighton Park, Gage Park, or Englewood a couple times a week. ICE and CBP have been so ever-present there that I have run into multi-vehicle phalanxes of masked agents completely at random on two different occasions in the last three weeks. 47th is a ghost town compared to spring.
