Two people detained outside a Chicago-area immigration detention center last year are suing right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson for defamation, saying he falsely portrayed them as violent extremists who assaulted federal officers.

MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson sued for defamation over ICE ride-along videos calling protesters ‘terrorists’

Durban was meant to confront racism. Its 2001 conference became mired in antisemitism and disputes over Israel, prompting a U.S.–Israeli walkout. Waltz says 48 countries skipped its 25th anniversary. The final UN declaration itself explicitly condemned antisemitism.

Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUN · 2h 48 UN Member States refused to participate in the UN’s shameful High-Level Meeting commemorating the 25th anniversary of the notorious anti-Western, antisemitic Durban Conference – nearly a quarter of the UN. This was a significant increase from 38 countries boycotting in 2021. We thank all Member States who joined the United States in rejecting Durban’s poisonous legacy.

What isn't surprising: work requirements are reducing coverage because of paperwork burdens What is surprising: apparently The Pitt had a storyline that demonstrated the difficulty of navigating Medicaid redeterminations

“Hopefully we’ll be back on Medicaid by then.” “How’d you lose it?” “They sent a redetermination letter to our old apartment. It didn’t get forwarded.” “And you haven’t been able to get it back since?” “I’ve been trying for months. To get re-enrolled, you need tax returns, pay stubs… I cut hair. My income fluctuates.” – The Pitt, Season 2, Episode 13
