Judge orders takeover of health care operations in Arizona prisons after years of poor care A federal judge has ordered a takeover of health care operations in Arizona’s prisons and will appoint an official to run the system after years of complaints about poor medical and mental health care.

A federal judge ordered an independent administrator to take control of Arizona's prison health care system after widespread medical neglect by the state.

This life-saving intervention is a result of years of our litigation, and we'll keep fighting until the preventable suffering and deaths end.

NEW: As expected, SCOTUS invalidates tariffs. Billionaires don’t like it when you mess with the markets. Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh dissent. Importers will now get refunds on costs they’ve already passed on to us, making the rich even richer.

Yes! I grew up in Edina (yeah, I know) and lived in Whittier until moving out of state at age 39. I always stress this as essential to understanding the Twin Cities specifically, and the state more generally. The Lutheran Brotherhood has had an outsized impact on the culture.

“Don’t you want to win?” is a major tell.

medical miracle: this 75 year old man was born yesterday

Science does not GAF about your scare quotes, assholes. This can and will be reversed.

There are way too many shitty Todd’s in this regime.

EHS class of ‘88 here. Can confirm.

It goes on and on and on and on and on

Nancy fucking Mace. Holy shit.

I’m gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you about that moral compass. It spins as freely as she does.

They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

I take some solace in the fact that our democracy is being stress tested by such arrogantly incompetent and ignorant people.

And naturally - he was in that fucking movie!

Coming to the community - like a measles outbreak. Or, you know, a concentration camp.

Sports commentator should be the first profession to fall to AI.

Lutnick also incompetent, so there’s that.

Sinatra was pretty woke for his day

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

De-escalation?

What happened to the National Guard handing out donuts and hot chocolate?

Has he met the human paraquat?

Roy Fucking Cohn and Stephen Fucking Miller are responsible for this. How fucking ironic is that????

Been there! @bsky.app please add an edit function!

Important to note the $80 billion funding increase for the IRS to go after wealthy tax cheats from Biden's Inflation Reduction Act was expected to generate ~$200 billion in additional revenue over ten years.

Things I didn’t say the most.

How many have died since January 20 2025? How many Trump condos and golf courses will be built on their graves?

“Genocide is good” - things that didn’t happen the most

MAGA is a death cult
