Senate Republicans advance Trump's tax and spending cuts bill after dramatic late-night vote Senate Republicans cleared a key procedural step as they race to pass Trump’s big bill of tax breaks, spending cuts and bolstered deportation funds by his July Fourth deadline.

Late last night, Senate Republicans voted to advance Trump’s Tax Scam.

But it’s still not clear if the GOP has enough votes for final passage of the reconciliation bill, so we need to make *lots* of calls today.

Exclusive: US veterans agency orders scientists not to publish in journals without clearance Move that seeks political control of doctors’ and scientists’ published research fits a pattern of censorship by the Trump administration, veterans advocates say

Two VA pulmonologists rebuked by Trump administration for warning, in a @nejm.org article, that cancelled contracts, layoffs, and planned staff reductions jeopardize the health of a million veterans seeking help for conditions linked to toxic exposure.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Not a constitutional lawyer, but doesn't habeas corpus mean that you have to be charged with a crime in order to be held in prison? And doesn't the fact that this person is a citizen mean that ICE has no jurisdiction over him?

A letter from the acting US Attorney for DC, requesting information from the editor of the medical journal CHEST about how it selects articles

A letter from the acting US Attorney for DC, requesting information from the editor of the medical journal CHEST about how it selects articles

1. This is so poorly written that the sentence that is -- I think -- supposed to convey a semi-veiled legal threat is incomprehensible.

2. I'm jealous of whichever lawyer gets to write the response.

Pronatalism shaped Black health activism and public health work, and also how Black women engaged the birth control movement. I'd argue that this connects with reproductive justice movements and how they advocated for access to healthy & safe pregnancies and childbirth alongside the right to choose.

There were lots of Black pronatalists as part of Black engagements with eugenics. They embraced pronatalism to advocate for a healthy race which they believed was essential to freedom struggles.

Definitive might be a strong word lol, but yes many Black eugenicists were also pronatalist. They believed that the propagation of a healthy race was a crucial part of Black freedom struggles
