Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Your job now, as an American, is quite simple: For the entire summer, whenever you come across a republican congressman, you ask him the same question @laurenwindsor.bsky.social asked Matt Gaetz: "Are you a pedophile. You hide the Epstein file, is it because you're a pedophile?"

Saving this for when I teach on the ACA to my undergrads, who do not remember a time when people with preexisting conditions could not be covered.
Not so fun fact: prior to the ACA I was an independent health insurance agent with pre-existing medical conditions. I could sell health insurance to others, however I could not have it for myself due to those pre-existing conditions.

Outright thuggery. A hearing has been scheduled in the USIP lawsuit as of 2:00 this afternoon on a motion for a TRO. Seems likely a lot of stuff will be destroyed just in the interim, because the DOGE folks know they can smash quickly before the pushback from the courts.
After breaking into the US Institute of Peace (USIP) Monday, DOGE members immediately got to work taking down signs to erase the independent agency.
Photos taken yesterday shared directly with me:

Again, while’s ICE’s treatment of him is clearly inexcusable, the explanation for why he was detained IS included in the article; he has a previous arrest, and possible conviction, for a controlled substance offense. That has been a ground for possible deportation since the 1980s.
ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.
