Tomorrow is Rümeysa Öztürk’s habeas corpus hearing in federal court in Vermont. At the same time, nearly 1,000 other women she was detained with in Louisiana remain in intolerable conditions. ICE has yet to answer my inquiries. I'll keep pushing.

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit. We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: "Reality is that hospitals are gonna close, nursing homes are gonna shut down, people are going to die if these Medicaid cuts and their efforts to detonate parts of the ACA are successfully enacted into law."

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid. Members of Congress should take note. ☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121. Defend Medicaid! Defeat Cancer!

Literally the most unfit, uncaring and narcissistic president ever to step foot in the White House. Despicable!

Stop!! Be Better. Cancer. Aggressive Cancer. Imagine your doctor telling you this. If you cannot find anything kind to say, keep it to yourself. We as a country need to show compassion, empathy, and support to a man (and family)who have given decades of public service. 💔🇺🇸🫶💙🍀

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”

The USDA is returning climate information on adaptation, mitigation, weather patterns, and more to its websites after farmers sued the government. The suit said the actions, on top of making running their agricultural businesses more difficult, were “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion.”

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

DOGE's next target should be the White House, not cancer researchers, food safety inspectors and air traffic controllers. Trump is plundering the taxpayers and draining the coffers of the people. That's monarchy, not democracy.

Georgia’s challenge law dates back to 1908, when a Jim Crow–era “pure registration” law was passed to suppress Black political participation…One Black Army veteran who was challenged likened it to those old tactics meant to discourage and exhaust voters into giving up. www.ajc.com/opinion/fair...

With mandatory spending like say, Medicaid, congress doesn’t appropriate it. It’s automatic. But the CUT it they have to change the law, and that’s what they want to do. The truth about spending youtu.be/EHPk1c-LhqA
