Elon Musk may be stepping back from the government, but we’re not done reporting on the impact of his DOGE wrecking ball. If you have information to share with us, we want to hear from you. ➡️ propublica.org/tips

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

They let this man ravage our govt & make decisions that resulted in suffering worldwide, & loss of jobs, livelihood & security at home. The irresponsibility & negligence ….. DO NOT LET SPEAKER JOHNSON NEAR A MIC OR CAMERA W/O DEMANDING HE ACCOUNT FOR THIS. Gift link www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

That Joni has a heart of gold. 😒

I am deeply concerned by reports that a family, including a toddler, was arrested at the Denver Immigration Court while appearing for their scheduled proceedings. The admin is not targeting criminals or public safety threats, it is targeting families trying to navigate a broken immigration system.

Today's episode of Hoosier Health Matters (powered by @goodtroubleindiana.org) discusses: - Brain death and pregnancy - Why the House budget sucks - COVID vaccine policy now ignores good decisional process - 2 court cases that will affect things for all Hoosiers podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Dangerous criminals?! There is a level of cruelty here that we must refuse to accept. And how can ICE cancel a hearing?

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

Despite repeatedly raising concerns about labor rights, Nike has grown its presence in Cambodia from about 16,000 factory workers in May 2013 to more than 57,000 as of March. Read more: propub.li/4kIhjCC

The Trump administration has just canceled a nearly $600 million contract with Moderna that was meant to develop a bird flu vaccine.

I’m not going to pretend for one second that an executive order is a law. I don’t serve a king.

A federal trade court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law.

Trump isn’t taking his losses well tonight. Instead of throwing ketchup, he started pardoning gang members, murderers, and convicted felons. Guess he didn’t want to taco ’bout it.

#GVerse #Project2026 MANIFEST THIS. 🙏💪

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

KOH on the Trump Pardon: "This guy was supposed to be paying Social Security and Medicare taxes for his employees and instead bought a $2 million yacht."

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?

During the rollout of the COVID vaccines, the lack of testing - combined with a raft of misinformation - led many pregnant women to not get vaccinated. @propublica.org wrote this in 2022, but it's just as relevant now with RFK Jr's CDC changing recommendations for the vaccine.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Two of the nation’s most preeminent pediatricians, Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Sapna Singh join host Dr. Vin Gupta for an expansive conversation on tackling health misinformation, the real meaning of the MAHA agenda, and the ongoing measles epidemic. Listen to the new episode of Meidas Health!

Feted by Gov. Ron DeSantis as a hero for helping defeat Florida’s marijuana amendment in November, an anti-drug advocate is now embroiled in the Hope Florida controversy after her nonprofit moved money from the charity to a political committee.

BREAKING: @seiu.org nurses just kicked off a strike at Madison's Meriter Hospital, where management is refusing to include safety and patient/staff ratios in the contract

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Police officers are killing more Americans than then they did five years ago when they killed George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Too many people have been deluded into believing the problem is the problem solvers, the perpetrators are the victims, and the treatment is the disease.

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" cuts Medicaid. Cuts to health care for babies and new moms. Cuts to heath care for seniors in nursing homes. Cuts to health care for rural hospitals. Cuts to health care for people with disabilities. Republicans in Congress approved these cuts.

Trump’s pretense that he’s fighting antisemitism has always been a transparent fig leaf for using real antisemitism to destroy universities, as illustrated by his hosting on May 23 of cryptocurrency investors whose coins bear slogans like “F*CK THE JEWS.”

Since a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd in 2020, the number of people killed by the police each year has continued to rise — and Black Americans are still killed in disproportionate numbers. Our data reporter explains his findings. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

This is deeply disgusting. Wearing his pathetic campaign hat to the West Point graduation.

“A construction worker in south Alabama says he was forcibly detained Wednesday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who claimed his proof of U.S. citizenship was fake.” www.al.com/news/mobile/...

“Everyone has to make everything in the United States, or else!” he yells… as his family signs deal after deal for golf courses in other countries… and he accepts hundreds of millions in crypto bribes from unidentified foreign actors…

“Lamar, you’re better than this!” Et tu, Lamar Odom ? 😕 #CryptoCorruptionClub
