Let’s talk about Medicare for All. What would it mean for the individual American? ⬇ The day you’re born you get a card that gives you health insurance with no premium, co-pay, or deductible. Doesn’t matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26 or 65, get married or divorced — it's there for you.
This is study paints an alarming and frankly disheartening picture of the NFL. A needed study.
A new study shows an alarming rate of CTE among former NFL players: At least 1 in 4 who died from 2016 to 2021 had the degenerative brain disease. And the rate might be even higher. Read more: nyti.ms/4ggtNSx

"SCOOP: Trump’s Iran War Has Burned Through Well Over 90% of Key Long-Range Missiles" Sources tell Zeteo the percentage of critical long-range missiles that the Trump administration has depleted in its failing war is in ‘at least the high nineties.’ Reporting from @swin24.bsky.social for Zeteo:
This is unsatisfactory and places our service members at extreme physical and psychological risk. Unbelievable. Hegseth must go.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

I am grateful for Gustavo and those with him doing this work. It's unimaginably difficult work and they should be respected and compensated accordingly.
“Gustavo” is harvesting mangoes in Coachella, CA. “This is very hard work. We start before dawn, but temps are already near 100° while we’re working. It’s physical labor, and it’s hard to do in this kind of heat.” Today’s high in Coachella is forecast to reach 109°. #WeFeedYou
NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.
Homan threatens more bloodshed. They will unleash murder squads against Americans exercising their rights to free speech. They have done it - we know he is serious - past time for action.
Tom Homan: "It all go backs to the Dems ... there's still gonna be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted."
Death squads is an apt name for what we are witnessing and it must never be tolerated. Ever
"What the federal government has been doing to people assumed to be immigrants is different from normal police brutality. It is a targeted campaign. We are witnessing, for the first time since Jim Crow, American death squads."
ICE just needs to suspend all contact with other humans. These goons are walking death machines.
Breaking News: ICE kills again in Florida Today. ICE cannot be reformed; We must Abolish ICE.
I would feel more comfortable if ICE suspended immigration related murders.

It appears that ICE is moving forward with trying to convert industrial sized warehouses in NJ into detention centers.
🚨 ICE is backtracking its decision to sell the warehouse in Roxbury, NJ. In a late-night filing, lawyers for the agency told a federal judge that after "reconsideration" the agency was moving forward with plans to "consider" converting the facility into a detention center.
I highly recommend watching this video with Asha and Marc Elias if you want to know what the Trump regime's end game is related to the voter files they are trying to obtain. They explain what a voter file is then move into how & why Trump wants to remove people from them.
I have always appreciated Marc and his team but even more so since he broke down why the voter file is the holy grail of election manipulation for my Substack. Link to my discussion with him in nect skeet 1/
A Police Executive Research Forum report from 2014 showed that CBP officers were purposely placing themselves in front of moving vehicles, and then shooting at them. This isn’t something that can be reformed. Abolish ICE. www.npr.org/sections/the...

Let's face it: ICE is *not* a law enforcement agency. It is a ragtag collection of angry, arrested development vigilantes and malcontents that has gone "Lord of the Flies" on us.
ICE agents have been caught lying in their reports by civilian cams many times. They say they don't have the funds to wear bodycams - yet they're flooded with cash. Instead, they prowl around our streets in unmarked cars wearing masks and murder our citizens. This is not sustainable.
It appears that ICE agents are lying again . . . to coverup a murder. Let's look at their body cams to see what really happened. What? They were not wearing bodycams? Why would they refuse to wear a cam that could objectively provide facts of the event? We know why. www.cnn.com/2026/07/10/u...
How long will Americans continue to allow masked ICE goons to murder it's citizens in cold blood and lie about it with impunity? Why is Congress absent?
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.
