The US has denied the visas of all 12 members of the Senegalese women’s basketball team who were scheduled to travel to the country as part of their preparation for the Afrobasket tournament that begins in August. Afrobasket is also the African qualifiers for the Olympics.

I know it's swans because of the swan boats but it's funny to me they picked the most beautiful and vicious bird. A swan would absolutely get a first half red card if it tried to play soccer.

Good explanation of the evidence that SNAP work requirements don't increase work but do make people go hungry.

Community health centers are reliant on Medicaid dollars and proposed cuts represent an existential threat to them — according to the National Association of CHCs, "Medicaid covers 50% of CHC patients and accounts for 42% of revenues."

"Loss of community health center sites was associated with an increase in age-adjusted all-cause mortality of 3.54 deaths per 100,000 population in the year following the loss. The largest increase was observed for cancer mortality."

Loss of coverage leads to more uncompensated care and lower revenue for providers leads to rural hospital closures leads to loss of jobs and economic development leads to the end of many rural communities. It's not just about health care, it's about the damage caused by the economic ripple effects.
A recession with job losses, combined with Medicaid cuts, combined with an end to enhanced ACA premium aid, would be quite a triple whammy for health coverage.

This Venezuelan mother and father moved to DC three years ago, have TPS (a legal status like DACA), and found work cleaning hotels. Border Patrol came to their home in Southeast DC and arrested them in front of their crying children — ages 4, 9, and 13. None of this is about making any of us safer.
Border patrol grabs Venezuelan parents in D.C., despite protected status
The arrest in D.C. of a Venezuelan couple with temporary protected status has sparked concerns that the Trump administration is again willing to separate parents from their children.
