A white woman in a blazer sits on an examination table in a doctor's office, looking at a Black male doctor in a white lab coat. He is holding a tablet that shows a diagram of a heart. In the background, there is a poster of the human skeleton and a medical cabinet. Overlaid on the bottom half of the image is white text that reads: "Judge blocks sharing of Washington Medicaid data for immigration enforcement" and below that is the seal of the Attorney General of Washington and the website "ATG.WA.GOV".

1/2: A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction to block the Trump administration from using Medicaid data obtained from Washington and 19 other states for immigration enforcement purposes.

“To see so many people who frankly give a shit about their country, it really warms my heart. I’m trying really hard not to cry.”

“Why this fight is so important is because there’s only one thing left for them to take, and that is our power.” - Texas House Democratic leader Gene Wu

The Department of Veterans Affairs has lost thousands of staff under Trump, including:

2,000 registered nurses
1,300 medical assistants
1,100 nursing assistants and licensed practical nurses
800 doctors
500 social workers
150 psychologists

This is OUTRAGEOUS.

I wrote to the administration in February demanding information about U.S. Citizens who have been detained during raids, and I still haven’t received a response.

Trump and ICE are out of control. We need answers.

Since you had written the administration in February, and have yet to receive a response, what is your next move? Why wasn’t something done in March, April, May, June, July?????? What do you plan on doing?

Thank you!

New Hampshire is the only state in the contiguous 48 without a full-service VA hospital. I introduced a bill to change that.

Here’s what I had to say about it on WMUR. ⬇️

Veterans plead to Gov. DeSantis to halt executions of military veterans on state's death row Veterans will present a letter to the governor on Wednesday in Tallahassee, urging him to reconsider the scheduled Aug. 19 execution of Kayle Bates, a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces. The letter is signed by more than 130 veterans.

Florida has already executed three veterans this year — and is scheduled to execute its fourth, Kayle Bates, next week unless Governor DeSantis intervenes.

We call on the governor to stop Kayle's execution.

We hope to see you in one hour for One Million Rising, the campaign to train one million Americans how to lead a local resistance movement against Trump’s regime. Texas House Democratic leader Gene Wu and more great guests will be at tonight’s training. 👇

Slotkin joins Dems on bill banning corporate PAC money (The Center Square) – Michigan Democrat U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin joined other Democrats in reintroducing the Ban Corporate PAC Act, which would restrict campaign finance monies.

If we want to regain the trust of Americans on the left, right and center, it’s a no brainer: start by banning corporate PAC donations to anyone running for office. www.thecentersquare.com/michigan/art...
