"So, what would happen without Medicaid?My patients will be forced to forgo lifesaving care, and they will die. My hospital could face closure entirely or the shuttering of units or services." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

A lot of hospitals are going to be in trouble if Republicans gut Medicaid. E.g, we have had a problem with labor and delivery wards closing for decades. Medicaid pays for 40% of US births. What’s going to happen to the remaining L&D wards if Medicaid goes away?

These guys are about to kick millions of people off their health insurance and they don't have the faintest idea of how these programs work, just throwing out numbers in an incoherent jumble. It's like a football coach saying "We've got a 10-yard redzone in our offside flea flicker so we'll be good"

Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat. I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.

Hey so if DOGE fired thousands of federal workers and cut all these programs, where is all that money now? Is it in a shoebox under the government’s bed? Siphoned to someone’s foreign bank account? Just wondering!

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I’m not a Catholic and I disagree with a lot of the church’s views, but Francis seemed like a world leader with genuine compassion for humanity, and that’s something we sorely need.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

It took Peter Staley two weeks to build 200 full-sized coffins. The longtime AIDS activist, with a group of volunteers, fashioned them out of styrofoam, tape and velcro. On Thursday, the volunteers stacked coffins 10 layers deep outside the State Department to protest cuts to global AIDS relief.

Regardless of whether one agrees with Mohsen Mahdawi, he is entitled to due process under the law and should not be unjustly detained. “This is the Trump administration's M.O. – start with someone they think people won't defend, and then just keep going… Step by step, they'll come for everyone.”

"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

Almost certainly an anti-Semitic hate crime. And the President who is trying to tear up the American university system on the pretext of fighting anti-Semitism hasn't said a word.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

There was an arson attack on the home of a Jewish governor and his family—on Passover—and the president of the United Stated couldn’t even be bothered to comment. Remember this the next time he claims to be the great defender of the Jewish people.

The attempt to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is pretty clearly an assassination attempt, and it's likely an antisemitic hate crime. It should be referred to that way by political media.

These people just want slavery back. I get it, I know libs/Democrats won't ever say this but it's the actual truth and it's getting tiresome that we have to step around it. They want to literally own people, control them, force them to do whatever they want. That is what slavery is
