Retired nurse who would like healthcare for all, reasonable gun control, quality education, and attention to our climate. I am a strong Democrat and very sad and confused regarding the horrible election.

ICE has its own Health Services Corps, which it operates in 17 large detention centers, but an increasingly large majority of people are held in private detention centers where the healthcare is operated by contractor or subcontractor, where ICE basically just manages the insurance claims.

Anyway, all four deaths which Congress was notified about today occurred in facilities run by a private prison company, where conditions are harsh and staffing is stretched thin. A proper investigation is necessary, but with oversight agencies slashed, I worry we won't get one.

Of note: three major prison healthcare companies have gone bankrupt in recent years, each time letting them avoid having to pay out lawsuits against them for insufficient care. Yes, private equity is playing a role here too. These issues, bad as they are in ICE detention, are not unique.
Private-equity backed prison health companies continue despite decade of alleged constitutional violations
The Guardian examined two private-equity backed companies that have been accused of failing to protect inmates from risk of harm, and even preventable death

Trump is speaking like he still has a majority who supports him.
TRUTH IS: Trump NO LONGER has a majority, actually, they are leaving him. Donald Trump Is a LYING Lame Duck TEMPORARY president.

The Kennedy Center was established and named by an act of Congress. No media outlet should call it anything different until Congress amends or repeals that Act. Trump is not a king.

It came as House Republicans on Wednesday rejected a pair of war powers resolutions introduced by Democrats that would have forced the White House to seek congressional approval for the boat strikes — and for any attack against Venezuela.

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Thursday for unfettered access to the states’ voter registration records. The federal government has now filed lawsuits against 21 states, plus D.C.

An 800,000-strong Ukrainian army would provide the first line of postwar deterrence, with the US providing intelligence and monitoring, and troops from European nations stationed away from the front lines to bolster confidence.

Trump lies through his felon teeth on TV saying he's "bringing those high prices down" when data clearly shows inflation is at +2.7%. Economists widely agree Trump’s tariffs have made prices rise and will cost American households on average $1700.

For a GOP president—after the Iraq War—to say outright that invading Venezuela is all about oil is wild. But it is. It’s also about corruption, power, graft, and land. And we should take him at his word.
