Families in Trump states agonize over GOP’s proposed Medicaid cuts “This is not a luxury. I do not have my daughter enrolled in Medicaid so we can have fancy things. I have my daughter enrolled in Medicaid so we can keep her alive and keep her at home, which I think is the best option for her.”

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

"Three years ago this week, the Supreme Court ended the federal right to abortion in Dobbs. In their ruling, the justices in the majority suggested that women who were upset about losing their bodily autonomy could direct their anger toward engagement in the democratic process." - Susan Rinkunas

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

I spent most of today seeking to meet with one of the many victims of ICE raids currently jailed in Downtown LA. While @chrclla.bsky.social focuses its efforts on impact litigation, my team boosts efforts on the ground whenever possible. What I saw speaks to the crisis in LA & beyond.

🚨The Florida government is going to tear down Everglades wetlands so they can build a tent camp in the swamp to fuel Trump's mass deportation operations — and they’re going to get money from Trump that Congress intended for humanitarian care to recently arrived-migrants.

New in PN: The Roberts Court exists to give legal cover to bigots "The best way to approach SCOTUS's decision in Skrmetti, which upheld Tennessee’s transphobic ban on gender-affirming care for minors, is to understand that the MAGA majority begins with their desired result and then works backward."

The same Trump judge that gutted protections for mifepristone has now gutted privacy protections for women that receive reproductive care. This ruling effectively green lights a witch hunt by red states to target women that get care.
