Detainees on “ICE Air” deportation flights are shackled and handcuffed — making it impossible to reach oxygen masks or evacuate. Just last week, 6 people were injured during a mid-flight emergency. From @gbrockell.bsky.social: trib.al/bnVblsm

The people of Chicago won

Trump, Kristi Noem and ICE lost

Not only did Greg Bovino and his agents leave the city in disgrace

A judge ruled that they must release as many as 615 unjustly detained immigrants

Plus-they must stop pressuring immigrants to voluntarily leave

Never
Stop

Elsevier has a 38% profit margin, and the other journal publishers aren't far behind.
"academic publishing is dominated by profit-oriented, multinational companies for whom scientific knowledge is a commodity to be sold back to the academic community who created it... The dominant four collectively generated... $12 billion in profits between 2019 and 2024."

Strong evidence it sunk Gore in 2000. (You could argue many things specifically but no doubt the Elian saga swung a lot of possible votes firmly over to Bush.)

What will they purchase when they “purchase healthcare on their own terms”?

They will purchase insurance. Only they will do it on their own, giving them the LEAST ability to bargain possible.

This (he) is so insanely stupid🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Full disclosure: I was one of the lawyers interviewed about this, and everything they say is accurate about how unprecedented this is. If I were to ask for a waiver for a client after they didn't pass a poly, I'd be laughed out of the room.
