Uninsured Patients Rise Sharply, Hospitals Report, Citing Obamacare Cuts (Gift Article)

TSA is giving out the data to ICE. Do not fly if you do not have a green card at minimum. If you’ve EVER had an expired visa, do not fly.

This is horrific.

Here’s an idea for the Dems: what about fundraising text messages? I get far more text messages from you SOBs than I get from friends & family. I seriously got 28 fucking messages in a day. As a result, a LOT of campaigns get blocked, ones I wouldn’t even block.

Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him (Gift Article)

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

‼️A NEW LOW‼️ The Pentagon just lowered the official troop death count by removing service members who were killed after Trump declared a cease-fire. WEDNESDAY: 18 American service members killed THURSDAY: Lowered to 14 The Pentagon changed the count because they know how unpopular Trump’s war is.

The Metro board needs a Metro rider. No one knows our system better—they see what's working, what's not, and how our decisions affect the people who depend on transit. I'm bringing a proposal this week to add a regular rider as a voting member. More info: www.dailybreeze.com/2026/07/16/s...

Andrew and Tristan Tate Arrested in Miami

Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested in Miami ... just before Andrew was set to cohost a bareknuckle boxing event.

Stupid. They’re saying a contractor who’sTrump friend is an idiot and didn’t know what they were doing? Gimmie a break. I’m sure it was an Olympian canoeist who touched the water and a piece of the lining that did it.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 3w ago

Post reporters identified seven spots at the Reflecting Pool where the lining had partially or entirely peeled away. Four experts in waterproofing materials said the failure pattern strongly suggested errors in the application process. https://wapo.st/4bhNCGj

1/ Guy who killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero called his ex wife to get her to vouch for his character. Readers, she did not: archive.md/L8BuD Quite the opposite.

James Talarico: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. He wasn't their intended target. But he looked like their intended target. Lorenzo was a child of God, endowed with infinite worth. His life was invaluable. His death was senseless. Our neighbor, our fellow Texan, deserves justice.

Funding=death. If you don’t want deaths, you can’t fund ICE.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 3w ago

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

fwiw, the thing about excluding young people for lack of knowledge or maturity is that we don't (and shouldn't!) exclude older people for those things. many adults are completely untrustworthy and ignorant; we still left them vote!

Jesus, deleting my account at 6am. You freaks, lol.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Fox News calls Troy Jackson a “Bernie backed socialist”. What a ringing endorsement. Fox News just inspired me to donate $10 to Troy Jackson.

Eat a huge dick, Mr. President, you giant man baby. What a whiny fascist bitch. Big strong tough guy goes boo Hoo Hoo when he loses a court case that couldn’t be a clearer loser.

“I will be asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY. This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don't change their absolutely insane decision.”

I recently spoke with Mitch McConnell as well. He said, “Beep…Beep…BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!” “Shit, we’re losing him!” “CLEAR!’” “KZZT” “BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP” “Charge to 360 damnit!!” It was pretty weird because it didn’t even sound like him.

Speaking as just one guy who sues the government a lot: This basically does not happen. It is a transparent effort to shut down further inquiry by conceding relief. What they are seeking to cover up must be unspeakably bad.

Jon Seidel@jonseidel.bsky.social · 4w ago

The feds just made it official: They won't fight a bid by members of the "Broadview 6" for attorneys' fees. They do "not concede that the United States has acted or done anything to warrant those fees." They also say there should be no discovery. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/dc/d1/e34a37...

When Jeff Bezos (who is 100 times richer than Taylor Swift) was married, he essentially took over the city of Venice, pushed locals aside, and provided nothing lasting in return. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce personally donated over $26 million to charities to commemorate their wedding.

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

Respect. Online sports gambling is out of control and preying on tipsy men, draining their bank accounts here and there. Everyone I know who has gotten seriously into sports betting, even before the DraftKings era, has come to me telling me they’re “done gambling” after a serious financial loss.
