Unbelievably awful and sad. ICE’s monitor watch needed to be removed for an emergency Caesarian but there was no way to take it off.
“She was so afraid they would take her baby”
Why?
ICE is using smartwatches to track pregnant women — even *during* labor…
So pregnant immigrants are skipping the doctor altogether

Now suddenly they're willing to show the first hit but not the second. Why? ... they're afraid the public is going to see the military killed 2 men that had surrendered."

Trump is using your taxpayer dollars to fix a mess he created after his tariffs nearly put so many farmers out of business.
And meanwhile, his tariffs are still inflating your grocery bills. The American people deserve better.

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

I think that map is going to end up backfiring on Texas. They’ve given up some bright red districts in hopes of gaining more red-ish ones.
In a high turnout election, a lot of those seats could very well turn blue.

Nothing would make Putin happier than having Trump destroy the US-EU relationship and having the US ditch NATO.
