NEW: Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. Unpaywalled from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social:

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Self-deportation isn’t a thing. ICE forced this Hawaiʻi resident to leave the country. He’s lived in the US for nearly 50 years, served in the military, received a Purple Heart for being shot in combat, but is being forced to leave for a drug offense.

Come out tonight!!!! We start at 6 pm!

Trump border czar Homan, wife 'living separately' because of death threats

‼️ 2,405,000 people in Florida would lose health coverage and become uninsured under the Republican health agenda.

Glad this is out in the open. People aren't aware of Christian Nationalist theology and how they are the largest Zionist pro Israel bloc in America.

I really really really encourage you to read (or listen to) the whistleblower letter about Bove's actions in the Alien Enemies Act Case, the Abrego case, and the South Sudan/Djibouti case. Andy McCabe and I have just released the audio version, for free, here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Several Illinois Congressional Democrats are calling for the federal government to immediately stop sharing Medicaid enrollee data with the Department of Homeland Security.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

During a closed Senate GOP meeting, when senators worried about voting for Medicaid cuts, Mitch McConnell said: “I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they’ll get over it.” Call (202) 224-3121 to tell YOUR SENATOR you will never get over it.

LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district) Unimaginable cruelty. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

RFK JR: We have not cut any clinical trials on Alzheimer's BARRAGAN: There was 35 and you guys have already cut 13 of them because of the funding. This was congressionally approved dollars on a bipartisan basis.

Big Balls has resigned! Let their DOGE involvement follow them all for the rest of their lives! His name is Edward Coristine.

Senators are pushing for a fire sale of over 3 million acres of public lands—that’s an area larger than Connecticut. Families would lose access to some of their favorite trails and parks close to home. Once the land is sold and the no-trespassing signs go up, there is no going back.

At least 20 people have been killed and 52 more are injured after a “terrorist attack” on a Greek Orthodox church in the Syrian capital, according to the country’s health ministry.

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move." Vance on ABC: "Well, first of all, we don't want to achieve regime change." Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:

President Donald Trump and his team were in contact with top congressional Republicans before US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, but top Democrats were not told of his plans until after the bombs had dropped, according to multiple people familiar with the plans

Seems important.

The idea that self-censoring is a new form of oppression forced on white men rather than a normal part of having a prefrontal cortex and existing in society is some of the biggest bullshit in the centrist/right wing coalition gender grift

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

The National Institutes of Health will phase out its support of the clinical practice guidelines that advise doctors how to diagnose and treat HIV.

I'm sorry, I just woke up but WHO is suffering here???

Looks like Harvard could potentially cave to the Trump administration. And of course, race and diversity would be the first casualty. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/u...

⚠️ US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has struck down major abortion privacy protections, repealing a rule that prevented health care providers from sharing intimate reproductive health information w law enforcement. In the ruling, he refers to abortion as a "politically favored medical procedure."

Voice of America gutted by Trump adviser Kari Lake My story from earlier today: www.npr.org/2025/06/20/n...

The family of a retired FBI agent presumed dead after vanishing in Iran 18 years ago is calling for any deal between the United States and Iran to include the return of his remains.

"Two men accused of robbing Joint Base Lewis-McChord, hoarding weapons at a Lacey home and being white nationalist extremists have pleaded not guilty to several crimes."

Steve Bannon says Kayleigh McEnany is “infantile”, and says Fox and Sean Hannity should be investigated because their coverage on the Middle East suggests they represent a foreign government.

Swalwell: You were promised lower prices on day one. How many of you are feeling those lower prices? You were promised an end to all wars on day one. How many of you have seen an end to those wars? Donald Trump is 0 for 150. He made those promises on day one—and now we’re on day 150.

The Supreme Court's third decision is a 6–3 split, conservatives vs. liberals, in McLaughlin v. McKesson, with Kavanaugh writing for the court. This bad outcome further weakens the power of federal agencies, an ongoing project for the supermajority. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Someone has gone through and actually run the numbers on molestation crimes against children. The politicians who commit these crimes are overwhelmingly Republican. 67% of politicians convicted between February 10, 2023 and May 23, 2024 nationwide were Republicans. www.whoismakingnews.com

New for @teenvogue.com: Republicans love to talk about how much they care about the American worker, but the Trump admin’s anti-worker, anti-regulatory, anti-science agenda is putting millions of workers in danger—and more of them are going to die because of it www.teenvogue.com/story/trump-...

Trump is currently on Air Force One on his way to his golf club in Bedminister, New Jersey for a fundraiser at our expense. The combined cost of this trip will be over $20 million. Just one more reason that all elections should be required to be fully publicly funded, for every candidate and party.

Ouch. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer
