You know why emergency rooms donโ€™t turn away people who are dying??

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). This is under threat due to cuts in Medicare and Medicaid.

Also hospitals will close in rural areas.

People will die!! We fought so hard to have it. We must stop this!!

MY ASSESSMENT OF TULSI : ODNI staff clearly hates her and just verified she is a joke with this report.

1) she needs a new Calender
2) The Russian Intelligence Internet Research agency was formed in Sep 2013 just before Ms Universe in Moscow.
-Russia hacked the DNC as early as June 2015

Nearly 3 dozen 911 calls made from โ€˜Alligator Alcatraz,' records show Nearly three dozen 911 calls have been made from an immigrant detention center in the Florida Everglades, and new records are shedding some light on what the calls are about.

Detainees inside DeSantisโ€™ Everglades internment camp are making desperate 911 calls, denied basic medical care, and blocked from legal help.

This is un-American and unconstitutional.

We will continue to fight him until we see this inhumane, cruelty-based camp shut down for good.

There is no difference in the way our bodies process high fructose corn syrup and pure cane sugar

The cost difference because corn farmers are subsidized will be passed on to consumers.

Good time to kick the habit if you have it.

Weโ€™ve been boycotting them.

The Fascists Are Trying to Break You, Good People. Don't Let Them. Hey, good human, I wanted to remind you of some things that you might have lost sight of lately:

If you're feeling despair, dread, or exhaustion, that's exactly what the Trump regime wantsโ€”to make you give up. Donโ€™t. Our compassion and resistance are threats to their power. When we give up, they win. When we donโ€™t, they wonโ€™t. Keep going.

Just so weโ€™re clear: these Republicans just votedโ€”againโ€”to keep the Epstein files hidden from the public.

In a last-minute vote, they chose to protect predators and power over truth and justice.

They donโ€™t want you to know whatโ€™s in those files. Ask them why.

State Senator @shevrinjones.bsky.social is one of the Democrats leading the lawsuit against DeSantis for impeding lawmakers' access to the Everglades internment camp.

What he saw was brutal and inhumane, but also an experiment for what they intend to spread to the rest of the country.

Thete are so many challenges! In New Jersey, no one is denied Care when they present to the emergency room. The problem is that often times when people come to the emergency room is already advanced disease because they couldnโ€™t find a doctor to see them without insurance so symptoms go ignored.

A Mastodon post by Qasim Rashid, Esq.

Authorities have arrested two men in Washington state, who had an arsenal that included dozens of guns, explosives, & body armor. They nearly killed a soldier with a hammer while stealing gear from Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
If these were immigrants it'd be front page news. But because they're two white male Nazis named Levi Austin Frakes & Charles Ethan Fields, you've probably only now heard & Trump could very well pardon them.
FYI White supremacists remain the greatest security threat to USA.

As the 47 regime dismantles counter terrorism units at DOJ & ends investigations into white supremacist groups 2 nazis get caught robbing a military base. We get ๐Ÿฆ— from the gov & media.

1 has already confessed to stealing from the base for the last 2 years.
