Chuck Schumer taken to hospital for dehydration treatment Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, 74, was at the Senate gym when he became lightheaded, his spokesperson said.

He must have cried too many Blue MAGA tears over the Mamdani win.

Trump administration gives personal data of immigrant Medicaid enrollees to deportation officials President Donald Trump's administration has released to deportation officials the personal data for millions of Medicaid enrollees, including their immigration status.

Just a sad reminder that both California Guaranteed Health Care for All bills (CalCare; AB 1400 & 2200) had provisions stating that under the program, it would be forbidden to share medical information with law enforcement, including ICE.

Medicare Advantage (or DisAdvantage, as I call it) isn’t Medicare β€” it’s private insurance run by giant corporations that only care about profits.

I wrote to the Trump admin and told them if they’re looking for waste, fraud, and abuse, they should start with Medicare DisAdvantage.

Jewish students at Columbia have chained themselves to a gate (already locked) to protest ICE detentions of student protestors. They accuse members of our board of trustees of providing information about students to ICE and are demanding accountability.

Listen to Bernie Sanders while he is on his 2025 tour for outstanding progressive ideas. Stop listening when he starts leading you back to the type of Democrat shit candidates that brought us Red MAGA and Blue MAGA.
