Judge orders RFK Jr.'s health department to stop sharing Medicaid data with deportation officials A federal judge has ordered the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to stop sharing personal data of Medicaid enrollees with deportation officials.

🚨 Judge blocks HHS from giving ICE the personal info of 79M Medicaid enrollees.

The plan, rolled out without public notice, included addresses and Social Security numbers, prompting lawsuits from 20 states.

Every small hurdle helps protect privacy and access to care for the most vulnerable.

NPR: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn't vote

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?

Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

6 days after Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, a Prague paper published these β€œ10 Commandments”:
β€˜When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU:
1. Don’t know
2. Don’t care
3. Don’t tell
4. Don’t have
5. Don’t know how to
6. Don’t give
7. Can’t do
8. Don’t sell
9. Don’t show
10. Do nothing’

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?
