WEDNESDAY!!!

60 years ago, Medicare & Medicaid became law-transforming healthcare. On July 4, 2025, a new law was signed, cutting $1T from Medicaid, the largest reduction in its history. The CBO says 17M Americans will lose coverage. Healthcare is a right. We must do better. #ProtectMedicare

The court has made it clear that it is not deciding whether the executive order is constitutional and instructed the district courts to "move expeditiously to ensure that, with respect to each plaintiff, the injunctions comport with this rule and otherwise comply with principles of equity."

The 6-3 majority opinion is from Justice Barrett. Justice Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, and Jackson also filed a dissenting opinion. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

NEW: In Trump v. CASA, a case about the universal injunctions putting the president's order on birthright citizenship on hold nationwide, the Supreme Court grants the government's applications to partially stay the injunctions from district courts.

Don't forget: Stephen Miller makes money off deportation.

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

This is an easy one. Disbar him.

I have been receiving a ton of emails about the ethics report showing Stephen Miller owning stock in Palantir - lining his pockets off his unlawful mass-deportation agenda. Tomorrow I'll be interviewing the author of that report. Subscribe for free: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The GOP budget bill would rip critical funding away from public schools and hurt our students—especially the approximately 7.5 million students with disabilities. We must work to strengthen our public schools rather than divert funds to a system that benefits a select few.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care. She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor. This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

So many ppl showed up at a Community & Public Safety Committee briefing on police/ICE/Portland sanctuary city code that they had to open up more than 2 overflow areas to accommodate everyone. This is the atrium inside PDX City Hall (council chambers are full.)

If we can’t rely on #SCOTUS to ensure all people receive due process, where do we turn? If a 3rd Circuit judicial nominee suggests that DOJ tell courts to “F*** you," where are we? If the budget bill can't pass because it doesn't cut Medicaid enough, how much crueler can it get? @lwvus.bsky.social

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
