Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

BREAKING: A federal judge rules that the MAGA Justice Department MUST hand over records detailing its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files to a nonprofit organization seeking them in "expedited" fashion.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 U.S. official said that Truml hasn't

"You tell him, T'm going to try to get a deal.' He will say, 'Great, go see what you can do.' And that's the level of detail he has."

"It's been absolute chaos all day. It's embarrassing."

🤡BIG BREAKING: Judge dismisses cases against James Comey and Letitia James after finding Trump's handpicked prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed.

Will Halligan (and maybe Bondi) get disbarred for gross incompetence and serious ethics violations?

Fondly remembering how, just five years ago, nurses were considered essential workers and officially categorized as such.

Trump administration plan to exclude nursing from professional degrees sparks outcry Nursing advocates say a proposed rule could worsen a shortage of professionals in the field and lead to worse health outcomes.

Why doesn't the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) put more downward pressure on health insurance costs? Bc Republicans attacked the parts of the law that controled costs. Reps fear mongered about govt "death panels" that would decide who gets care & who dies. End of life planning was nixed.
