Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.

Days before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

Oz's own words say the quiet part loud: we're padlocking the cookie jar and letting them starve. That is 1 billion in Medicaid withheld from California and Minnesota, skipping the years long audit process. A historian calls it the oldest trick, use fraud talk to gut the program itself.

The Trump administration has now canceled the contract that provided legal services for unaccompanied immigrant kids. That means thousands of children across the country, including hundreds being held in detention, are losing access to government-provided legal representation. (1/5)

Fetterman has more obvious brain damage than Trump. Think about that.

Wolf Blitzer: Why is Israel, another country, your red line right now, this is what your critics are saying, rather than a domestic issue that impacts Americans' everyday lives? John Fetterman, visibly confused throughout the entire interview: Yeah, absolutely.

A lifelong Republican just endorsed Mary Peltola because she understands working-class struggles better than the people supposedly on his own side. This is what happens when we build something bigger than party lines. Let’s keep that momentum going. #BlueWaveIn90Days

Jenifer Lewis said it best: 35.9 million people sat out 2024, and we don't let that shit happen again. Not this time. Not with 90 days on the clock and everything on the line. Speak out, knock louder, make it impossible to ignore. #Pinks #BlueWaveln90Days

Q: Is there any chance of Trump administration giving Ukraine PAC-3 missiles? SEN. COONS: Chance? Yes. Am I confident they will? No. Because every time Trump suddenly becomes persuaded that maybe we should side with Ukraine, he has a call with Putin, and changes his mind again.

"I moved on her like a bitch...I just start kissing them...when you're famous, they just let you do what you want." The same guy who walked in on a bunch of naked and half naked teenage girls because it was "his" beauty pageant? Nah, I don't see how he could ever sexually assault an underage girl.

At some point we are going to have to reckon with what percentage of the Thought Leadership we get from this class of people is just drug addiction. Either a lot of credulous reporters have never listened to someone tooted out of their mind go on a monologue or they're afraid to call it out.

This America is more than a flag. We must fight for an America for all, a movement to take our democracy back. We invite you all to this movement to get money out of politics and finally guarantee health care through Medicare for all. I am so honored. Let's go win in November.

Jeff Flake is a decent person. The old kind of Republican. He left the Senate because he wouldn’t do what so many have done, support Trump’s nonsense.
