For-Profit Corporations Are Buying Up More Psychiatric Hospitals. Some Flout Federal Law With Scarce Repercussions. Psychiatric hospitals — increasingly owned by for-profit corporations — are illegally turning away patients during crises. Yet only a handful face penalties, with fines that are trivial, a ProPublica ...

Around 80% of the psychiatric hospitals in the U.S. that have violated the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act in the past 15 years are owned by for-profit corporations.

Only a few have faced any repercussions from regulators.

Flock Safety and Texas Sheriff Claimed License Plate Search Was for a New documents and court records obtained by EFF show that Texas deputies queried Flock Safety's surveillance data in an abortion investigation, contradicting the narrative promoted by the company and

License plate readers were sold as tools for finding stolen cars, but records have shown that they're being used in abortion investigations. States must ban law enforcement from using ALPRs to investigate healthcare decisions and prohibit sharing data across state lines. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

M6.8 earthquake offshore Japan preceded by upward cascade of foreshocks What do we know about seismic hazard in the Japan-Kuril subduction zone?

⚒️ 🧪

A M6.8 earthquake struck offshore Japan today - another large earthquake from the subduction zone that produced two recent great earthquakes. The earthquake was preceded by a "cascade up": foreshocks progressively increasing in maximum magnitude.

What do we know? What might happen next?

Activists protest Colorado's Key Lime Air over ICE flights | Colorado Newsline Picketers demonstrated against Key Lime Air over its operation of detainee transport flights for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A small crowd demonstrated at the entrance to Centennial Airport on Sunday, protesting Colorado-based Key Lime Air over its operation of detainee transport flights for ICE.

Some UPS and FedEx planes are grounded. What does that mean for holiday shipping? UPS and FedEx's fleets of MD-11 planes are grounded, which can each carry thousands of packages. Logistics experts say some cargo could shift to passenger planes, trains and trucks.

Jonathan Karl @jonkarl An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight. They'll get a promise of a vote on health care - but nothing more. Most of the Democratic leadership will likely vote against it. 14:58 • 11/9/25

21 min ago: Senate Democrats entered a caucus meeting, with many moderates remaining tight-lipped about their posture on the possible vote on advancing the House-passed continuing resolution later this evening. Republicans need five more Democrats to cross the aisle to move forward.

Things will never ever get better if the GOP can do this every year without fail

VOTE! DEC 2ND VOTE EARLY! NOV 12-26 AFTYN BEHN FOR CONGRESS TN DISTRICT 7 "I'M RUNNING BECAUSE THIS RACE IS A REFERENDUM ON THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL THAT JUST PASSED, WHICH WILL HAVE DEVASTATING CUTS TO TENNESSEANS AND THIS MOMENT DEMANDS FEARLESS AND BOLD LEADERSHIP.

The Republicans lied to us about Epstein.
They lied to us about tariffs.
They lied to us about Project 2025.
They lied to us about immigrants.
They lied to us about their Big Ugly bill.
They lied to us about EVERYTHING else.

Maybe a social worker from Tennessee can help.

I just called @padilla.senate.gov’s office and left a message asking him to hold the line. I tried several numbers for @schiff.senate.gov but mailboxes were full. So my message is this: keep fighting until working families get a fair deal.

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future.
Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!!
Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you
Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

Per Axios, “at least 10 Senate Dems will back a vote to advance a funding package through January”. In exchange, the Senate will “hold a December vote on extending ACA tax credits for one year” (it needs 60 votes to pass).

Pointy-headed malcontent Andreessen tweets Sydney Sweeney interviewer meme over this tweet: “Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #Al to cultivate moral discernment as a”

Marc Andreesen,🥚, picked a fight with *the Pope* over a pretty basic call to exercise discernment when building AI.

Marc truly believes that any constraint on anything he does is fundamentally illegitimate.

Ketanji Brown Jackson… issued her order after I asked the question earlier in the day whether or not the funds were even in the emergency account.

WHY would the Administration need to transfer $4 BILLION to *fund* SNAP? Where’s the money, Shitler??!!! 🤬🤬🤬 Grifters never fucking stop!!

The regime basically admits the contingency 4 billion dollar fund for SNAP isn’t there and they would need to transfer the money….so…uh…what happened to the money?

Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried as quickly as possible because they're stupid, aren't capable of recognizing they're winning, are incapable of representing their constituents, and are cowards not up to this era's challenges.

Flying at 8000 feet today News Captain says flying at 8000 feet (!) Newark to Savannah today instead of 34000 because of air traffic control restrictions. Everyone has to say seated including flight attendants. Never in my 40 years in flying has this happened … wondering what the view will be 😀

Things are fine.

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’ Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons.

"ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids"

Colorado’s governor wants to legalize an African psychedelic, but there's a conflict over where ibogaine is sourced Colorado’s governor wants to legalize an African psychedelic therapy, but there's a conflict over how to source federally illegal ibogaine

The potential addition to the state’s psychedelic medicine program could have national implications as other states move to regulate hallucinogens. Here’s what’s tripping things up.

This is the true story…of incompetent FAA Administrator…picked to lead an agency he was unfit to run..to whine about the dysfunctional results of his useless leadership…to find out what happens…when people stop being polite…and start getting Thanksgiving flights cancelled…The Real World.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

Appeals Court Upholds Shaken Baby Conviction Despite Medical Examiner Recanting Testimony Dissenting from the court’s majority, one judge sounded the alarm about ignoring recanted forensic testimony, saying the medical examiner’s reversal “calls into doubt the foundation of the trial.”

Prosecutors broke with tradition and didn’t fight to uphold the conviction.

In fact, the DA urged the court to overturn it: “Every single medical expert, using current science, confirms that Russell and Kaye Maze are actually innocent."

Many would-be buyers are frozen out of the housing market Only about one in five homes sold in the last year went to a first-time buyer. And the average person buying their first home was 40 years old — a record high. A new report from the National Association of Realtors shows how challenging it's become for young people to get a foothold in today's costly housing market.

I particularly hate the suggestion there's some sort of grand bargain in which trans rights are given up in exchange for _______.

No one is offering such a thing. No one would change their vote to Dems after that. The argument exists solely to justify throwing trans people under the bus.

Truth Be Told, a behind-the-scenes documentary showing local journalists at work in communities across Colorado, airs at 10:30AM today on 9NEWS, followed by a panel discussion with journalists past, present, and future discussing challenges and opportunities in local media.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

I've added this update to my story about the ongoing torture of SNAP recipients:

This is an important and despicable event:

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
