American taxpayers are subsidizing companies too cheap to offer health insurance

No One Who Works Full Time Should Be on Medicaid

There are a lot of jobs in the US economy that pay miserably low wages. And there are a lot that offer a reasonable hourly rate but still result in miserably low earnings because of unstable, fluctuating schedules. How many is hard to know, but it’s not a small number: According to the Government Accountability Office, there are about 9 million Medicaid recipients who are working full-time, and 7.5 million who receive SNAP benefits.

Fed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.

B. Defendants’ Noncompliance Is Intentional And Not In Good Faith. Having found that Defendants are in violation of the January 16 Forensic Imaging Order, the burden now shifts to Defendants to show that they were unable to comply. Affordable Media, 179 F.3d at 1239 (9th Cir. 1999). They fail to make that showing. Upon review of the parties’ submissions and counsel’s representations at the hearing, it does not appear that Defendants’ noncompliance is due to an inability to comply. Instead, the clear and convincing evidence shows that Defendants have acted intentionally and not in good faith.

In addition to having no experience in immigration, their website shows Ilya Shapiro (!) and disgraced former law prof Joshua Wright (!) as Senior Counsel. I don't think this massive contract was awarded to give immigrant children effective, zealous advocacy. burkegroup.law/our-team/

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterday

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · yesterday

Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

Update on this: Census Bureau announces delay in release of ACS to “later this year” due to Commerce Dept order. ACS data typically released in mid September.

Edwin Park@edwincpark.bsky.social · 6d ago

This has not received enough attention but a Commerce Dept order from June threatens the availability of Census data including the American Community Survey. So it may become a lot harder to understand health coverage trends. My colleague Aubrianna Osorio explains: ccf.georgetown.edu/2026/07/30/c...
