TOP Producer MAKES WAVES With SHOCKING Documentary
YouTube video by Katie Phang TOP Producer MAKES WAVES With SHOCKING Documentary

Two major, award-winning documentaries have been produced by @soledadobrien.bsky.social and they are must-watch films.

She joins me to explore the two documentaries’ themes and issues & to discuss how independent media is the only place to bring these stories to life.

Pappas: It’s a big tell that Republicans are trying to gerrymander their way into a permanent majority, because they understand how historically unpopular their ideas are. Whether it’s closing rural hospitals, kicking people off their health insurance, or taking food away from hungry families

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Hurricane Hunters have spent the past week diving into the eye of Melissa — a storm of historic ferocity — to gather life-saving data.

And, with the government shut down, they have done it all without pay.

A new congressional map places two of the five Democratic Reps—Greg Landsman and Marcy Kaptur—into redder districts in their already purple state.

The move comes as Republicans nationwide engage in an effort to gerrymander maps in their favor as midterm elections approach. trib.al/51TcFx8

They 👏 are 👏 breaking 👏 the 👏 law.

Two judges have just ordered that the Trump Administration must release funds for SNAP benefits. The GOP and Admin trying to use hungry kids as political leverage is beyond morally reprehensible. And it’s against the law.

Court rejects Texas bid to enforce abortion ruling in New York The case marked the first major challenge to New York’s telehealth shield law, which protects doctors who prescribe abortion medication to out-of-state patients.

I'm glad the court properly interpreted New York's shield law to prevent Texas from trying to enforce its abortion laws against New Yorkers. 

New York will stand strong as a safe haven for health care and freedom of choice.

Callers to Social Security wait for hours to get help. Hear their ordeals. Millions of seniors and disabled people call Social Security’s 1-800 number every month. What they experience is often maddening.

"One Social Security worker, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, said many of those she has called back don’t even answer the phone because it has been hours or even weeks since their initial call..."

1) Congressional Republicans made the largest cuts to food assistance in history this summer.

2) The administration chose to stop providing food assistance to Americans.

3) Republicans blocked our bill to keep SNAP funded.

Seeing a trend?

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Michigan’s GOP reps are proudly marching behind Trump’s Little Johnson — and the punchline is brutal: it’s their own voters who’ll be left hungry and without healthcare from the fallout.
