In Summerville SC, a business owner was arrested for…. Being on a group chat with kids planning a school walkout to protest ICE.
There is a first amendment in this country still. Let’s not even mention the grown adults Nazi chat that Vance defended

I’ll be dedicating this to help in any way I can the immigrant families I serve in Central OH as a physician. The Beatitudes will be my guide. “Blessed are you who are poor for the Kingdom of God is yours”

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over.
I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

It’s obvious that there are many many questions after Wexner’s testimony. But did Rep. @robertgarcia.bsky.social forget this? www.ms.now/news/greene-...

Today, I'm proud to announce that we've erased over $1.1 billion in medical debt for more than half a million Illinoisans.
No one should be forced to choose between life-saving care and feeding their families.

I still can't believe that this happened.
Health boss RFK Jr.'s 1-year anniversary week was packed with new disasters and reminders of old ones. But even those who should care most are MIA. GOP senators Bill Cassidy (a doctor) and Mitch McConnell (a polio survivor) top my list. My latest at @thebulwark.com open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The damage the HHS secretary has done to science and public health is appalling—and it could have been avoided.

Agreed - I’m right here criticizing ICE Noem Trump the entire corrupt bunch
The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.
