In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

You just know someone working for Krisi Noem pushed his deportation so the death would not be on US soil.

![Eventually, “someone at the detention center said he had a health issue, and that’s why he wasn’t answering us,” Gamboa’s sister, Greidy Mata, told El País. “But they didn’t give us any more information.”
McLaughlin’s statement said “medical professionals diagnosed [Gamboa] with unspecified psychosis and hospitalized him at Valley Baptist Hospital so he could get proper mental health and medical care”.
Gamboa’s family described not being able to find him until August, after they were scammed by two attorneys and then actually located him with the help of a third lawyer. By then, Gamboa was bedridden in a vegetative state, and his family’s attorney began the process of having him sent to Costa Rica.
An air ambulance paid for by ICE flew Gamboa to Costa Rica on 3 September, El País wrote. Stricken with encephalopathy, the muscle ailment rhabdomyolysis and the inability to eat on his own, he was admitted to an emergency room in the Costa Rican capital of San José before being transferred to a hospital in his home town of Pérez Zeledón.
Gamboa then died in that hospital on 26 October.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreibg4a7fpc7jdreeuox6eofrmryazfqcabzxwm52inc6dugtyipnpq@jpeg)

I have never liked Chris Christie. But here he tells it like it is. And he should know. He is a former prosecutor.
Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”
