I really do not understand what the hell we #medical professionals are supposed to do with this information.
#EMTALA you idiots. We have to treat everyone who walks in the #hospital door to the same standard. I have never once in my career asked for citizenship or status of my patients.

GOP lawmakers OK measure to require hospitals to ask patients if they're here legally. Sen. Rogers says it's simply gathering data and won't affect whether they get care. But Dems argue some people may stay away - until they're REALLY sick and contagious. tucson.com/news/state-r...

Bondi demonstrated for the world to see she doesn’t rise to the level of a Twitter troll much less the Attorney General of the United States.

I take no delight in this. It’s deeply disturbing.
One need look no further than the Bondi hearing today to see how badly broken the government is, the regime’s corruption and lawlessness, and the depth of batshit craziness present in Trump’s cabinet.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Goldman: You said references to ICE as secret police encourages threats. The problem is you have it backwards sir. People are making valid observations about your tactics which are outright fascist. If you don’t want to be called a fascist regime, stop acting like one.

It all adds up. And the whole of the Trump Redux evil is greater than the sum of its malignant parts.
There is today a convergence of criminality—every bad thing everywhere all at once: amoral men & women of great means and influence, in league with Epstein & his child sex trafficking network...

Schumer has been in Congress for 45 years, the Senate for 27 years, and Senate Democratic Leader for nine years. How can he be so oblivious to arguably the most critical time in the nation’s 250 years? Team Schumer-Jeffries may be fascism’s and Trump’s best asset.

How are they going to “not let it happen?” Finger wagging and saying the f-word in a brief TV hit or a Xitter post ain’t going to do it. Caving on ICE/DHS funding won’t do it either. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
