Around 80% of the psychiatric hospitals in the U.S. that have violated the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act in the past 15 years are owned by for-profit corporations.
Only a few have faced any repercussions from regulators.

Senator Klobuchar, could you please remind us what your confirmation vote for Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture and therefore the head of USDA, the agency in charge of these funds, was?
First the administration cut food assistance for Americans in need.
Now they’re refusing to use emergency funds for food assistance—even though their now-deleted shutdown plan said they could.
They have the funding to keep families from going hungry. There’s no excuse.

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.
Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request
The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.
Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.
He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.
30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.
Market dumped.
The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.
Unusual.

This idiot just slapped a 100% tariff on our number one supplier of REE and chemicals used in the manufacturing of AI systems here in the US
Trump: "AI is based on information. I hope they're right about information. I don't know. You've gotta make a lot of money to-- there's gotta be a lot of information out there, but that seems to be pretty hot. We're leading the world on information on AI."
