FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.

It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.
In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.

ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.
Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.

28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

On yet another week where gun violence has claimed far too many lives, a gun advocacy group and Michigan Republicans are trying to repeal my commonsense Red Flag Law, a law that is **saving** lives.

The science behind gender-affirming care has been endorsed by every major medical organization. This isn't about science or medicine. It's about the discomfort many non-trans people feel over the *existence* of trans people.

Repubs voted against extending the ACA tax credits because it would increase the deficit by $30 billion a year. But the Trump "administration" has blown up the deficit by $167 billion, and they always find ways to cut taxes for the wealthy.

Red states will be hit hardest.

Almost 550,000 American workers are over 80. It's one of the fastest-growing demographics in the workforce. Many were unable to save enough to retire, or had a health emergency, or had to care for adult children. Many barely get by.

America's oldest workers can't retire. Here's how they're getting by.
For America's oldest workers, retirement isn't possible. Workers in their 80s live paycheck to paycheck, use Social Security, and dip into savings.

Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a “warrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress, and not a generous new White House program.
