In Florida, Obamacare Price Hikes Pose an Outsized Threat South Florida will feel some of the most intense reverberations if Congress allows the extra insurance subsidies it approved during the pandemic to expire.

My dad worked weekends at Pizza Hut to afford the care my mom needed to stay alive. No one should have to work two jobs to see a doctor or fill a prescription. But if the GOP gets their way, a third of Floridians could lose coverage. Senator Moody, will you protect the ACA?

Judge grills Border Patrol boss Bovino for breaching excessive force order An Obama-appointed judge questioned Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino over a series of incidents this month where she says officers used excessive force against protestors.

A federal judge lambasted Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino in court Tuesday for tear gassing residential neighborhoods last week, demanding that he wear a body camera and provide her with daily use-of-force reports. @rosencaitlyn.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/judge-grills...

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of β€œwhat if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! β€œThank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Objection: Don’t End Presidential Pardons Pardons have freed the innocent, corrected injustices, and helped this country heal.

Trump’s corrupt pardons are infuriating. But abolishing the pardon power entirely would hurt innocent people, not just him. Fix the abuseβ€”not the safeguard.

The cost of homeowners and auto insurance in FL is insane, but Republicans are always laser focused on the important distractions from all that stuff.

Miami-Dade has the most to lose if Congress fails to extend the expiring health care tax credits. South Florida has 4 of the TOP 5 DISTRICTS NATIONWIDE in Affordable Care Act enrollment.

If Congress doesn’t act, people lose coverage. We must renew these tax credits NOW!

Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Hennessy told the judge that Martinez had been following agents for 30 minutes, and Ruiz had been following agents for 20 minutes before the shooting. As she drove, Martinez was broadcasting on Facebook Live for more than 2 minutes, Hennessy said. Video captures her repeatedly sounding her horn and following the vehicles, Hennessy said.

In the charges filed Sunday, prosecutors notably did not mention a loaded gun in Martinez’s car that was referenced in a previous statement by the Department of Homeland Security. But in court Monday, Hennessy said Martinez had a loaded firearm on the passenger side of her car but never brandished it. Martinez’s attorney, Parente, said she has a valid firearm and concealed-carry license.

Parente also offered to play an agent’s body-camera video that shows the shooting, noting that prosecutors did not show the video that he claimed disputes the government’s version of the shooting.

Parente said the video shows an agent turn federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, β€œDo something b----.” The agent then exits the vehicle and shoots at Martinez.

Parente said Martinez has β€œseven holes” in her from the shooting and that agents were in such a hurry to take her into custody at the hospital that they had to return later when Martinez began bleeding from her wounds.
