Analysts estimate that federal funding cuts could reduce Mississippi's Medicaid funding between $2 billion and $4 billion by 2034. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act also cuts administrative funding for SNAP in half.

Will Bunch nails it, again:
"Weiss’ handpicked anchor, Tony Dokoupil, set the tone when he declared the new CBS News wanted to listen to everyday Americans and not put so much stock in experts — presumably like the doctors who could have told them the “internal bleeding” story didn’t make sense."

Even a doomed-to-fail impeachment effort offers Democrats some advantages. Remember: Democrats are in a content-creation war with the Trump regime.
There’s no reason an impeachment effort can’t be a kaleidoscopic panoply of Trumpian misdeeds presented to the public. trib.al/u9y8XVy

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

“Rather than taking advantage of that second chance, prosecutors said, Ms. Camberos returned to crime. She and her brother were convicted in 2024 in an unrelated fraud.”
President Trump quietly issued clemency grants this week, including to a California woman he had pardoned once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.

After two Republicans flip, the U.S. Senate votes to REJECT a War Powers resolution to restrain President Trump from taking military action in Venezuela. What does it mean for Trump’s threats on Greenland, Iran, Mexico and Colombia?

📌At his core, Donald Trump is nothing but a weak, fragile baby who was never loved, and has spent his entire life making that everybody else's problem.
Taking a secondhand Nobel Peace Prize and calling it his own, has to be the single-most pathetic thing I have ever seen.

WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery.
While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

IMO this is why a lot of ICE agents wear gaiters and masks. It’s not just to avoid social consequences for their actions. It’s because so many of them would almost instantly be identified as known members of white supremacist hate groups. Their bosses probably insisted they mask for this reason.

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.
