Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price? $2733.15 a month.

Trump just ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing, a move that could reignite a dangerous global arms race. He's also furloughed nearly all federal workers responsible for overseeing and safeguarding America's nuclear stockpile. Hello?

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID? It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

Gestapo is storming into apartment buildings to kidnap people and take them to their local concentration camp

ICE raid granola bar factory—surround the building with guard dogs. Agents detain every Hispanic looking employee—whether they are U.S. citizens or not—and let everyone else go. "We feel terrorized, there is no explanation," said owners. 70 of the 150 people working were taken away in white vans.

2 more ICE protesters brutally slammed headfirst into pavement —sending man to hospital for concussion check. Woman tackled by 4 agents—then dragged across street with agent grabbing hand or foot. At least 245 U.S. citizens have been arrested over the past 5 months—for peacefully protesting in LA.

During his first term, the military officers Trump appointed often turned out to have a sense of honor, which meant they wouldn't bow to his every whim. Now, Donald Trump is building a partisan-political military as his personal police force to impose policy on the entire country. trib.al/xG6EF1Y

Trump gets booed at the US Open today.

NEW — Trump, along with Jared Kushner, Pam Bondi and others stand for the National Anthem. Crowd boos as the American flag is unfurled on the court. Stadium is still only about 50% full.

This administration put an anti-vaxxer in charge of the federal health establishment, so its placement of an unabashed racist at the EEOC? Yeah, that tracks.

Humanity is rapidly depleting water and much of the world is getting drier

The democratic governors of Oregon, Washington and California are forming a new public health partnership aimed at preserving access to vaccines.

A dock workers union from Genoa said if the flotilla gets intercepted they'll shut down all of Europe's ports. The Med having three of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, this could be huge! Especially if they get Union solidarity from North Africa
