U.S. Postal Service Cuts Funding for a Phoenix Mail Room Assisting Homeless People The loss of support comes at a time of uncertainty for one of Arizona’s largest homeless services providers as the Trump administration calls for reducing and restructuring homelessness assistance grants.

NEW: For years, the Phoenix nonprofit Keys to Change has run a mail room for thousands of homeless people.

Now the U.S. Postal Service is cutting its $24,000 investment, leaving the organization to raise the extra money to keep it open.

Hundreds airlifted from storm-battered Western Alaska villages in historic evacuation The Alaska Airlines Center arena at the University of Alaska Anchorage will shelter 300 displaced residents starting Wednesday evening, the American Red Cross said.

This seems really bad and should be getting more attention nationally. Hundreds airlifted from storm-battered Western Alaska villages in historic evacuation, by @adn.com

“The storm killed at least one person in the village of Kwigillingok with a few people still missing after it brought feet of storm surge to small and vulnerable communities on Alaska’s west coast.”

An ICE agent threw a mom to the ground.

You know how she can file a complaint with DHS?

SHE CAN'T. Trump closed that office.

Linking Tylenol to autism could harm pregnant people’s health, doctors warn Acetaminophen is one of the few drugs that pregnant people can safely use to relieve pain or fever — conditions that, if left untreated, can increase the risk of birth defects and premature delivery.

The federal government’s reported plans to link pregnant people’s use of acetaminophen — the pain-relief drug sold under the brand name Tylenol — as a cause of autism could worsen their health and stigmatize one of the few treatments pregnant people have for reducing pain and fever, doctors warn.

How much are we willing to pay for life-saving medications? ProPublica health care reporter David Armstrong has multiple myeloma. He says a single pill of his prescription costs the company just 25 cents to make — but costs him about the same as a new iPhone.

Today on @nprfreshair.bsky.social: Our @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social discusses “The Price of Remission,” where he investigates why a single pill of the cancer treatment he takes costs roughly the same as a new iPhone.

You may have seen various headlines/tweets this weekend implying that 50K noncitizens are registered to vote in Arizona, and that counties are starting to remove them.

That is incorrect.

Remarkable resignation letter from the Justice Department's chief information officer in the immigration review division — a disabled veteran.

Obtained by @propublica.org's Brett Murphy:

Statement from President Joe Biden | The White House I am issuing pardons to Gerald G. Lundergan and Ernest William Cromartie. I am also commuting the life sentence imposed on Leonard Peltier so that he

Leonard Peltier has had his sentence commuted and will be released from prison to home confinement

Let me tell you a story – one of the more haunting I’ve seen in 20 years of journalism. It’s about greed, death and denial. It took two years to unravel one doctor’s myth, a hospital’s complicity in creating it, and a documented trail of suspicious deaths…🧵
