Dana 📎 Leigh: rhymes with banana tree

Republicans killed Medicaid and SNAP (both are set to die after 2026 midterms) and ACA Discounts, (by refusing to extend them) with their big bill.

Democrats fight to claw back the ACA discounts.

Shame on US.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Federal agents shoot woman in Chicago suburb after allegedly being rammed, boxed in by cars, DHS says The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents shot a woman in Broadview, Illinois, after they said they were rammed and boxed in by cars Saturday.

Unless there is clear, unedited video proof (preferably from a bystander), how can we believe the agents' statements?
They shot a woman they say is known for doxxing & posting agents' identities? Interesting & convenient...

From Immergut opinion: "Pres is certainly entitled “a great level of deference ..But a great level of deference is not equivalent to ignoring the facts on the ground. Must reflect a colorable assement w/in a range of honest judgment. The President’s determination was simply UNTETHERED TO THE FACTS."

A screenshot of an X post with a black background and white text, featuring a "Being Liberal" logo in the top right corner. The post lists products launched by Donald Trump, including TrumpRX, Trump Gold Card, Trump Mobile, Trump Coin, and Trump Social/Truth Social. It also mentions upcoming projects: Trump Golf Resort in Qatar, Trump Plaza in Saudi Arabia, and Trump Tower in UAE. Additional claims include Melania having a crypto coin, Jared buying EA, and Trump accepting a $40M jet from Qatar. The post ends with a sarcastic remark about the Bushes and Clintons being the "swamp" and questions about grocery bills, salaries, and the feeling of getting poorer while the president and his family get richer.

And this is just a small sample of the scams and the grift!

Huh?
Miller: Calls federal court decision: "an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers."

And, an attack on the Republic itself?

If Miller calls typical federal court activity "terrorism," what chance do the rest of us have of not being called terrorists?

A really stirring opinion from Judge Karen Immergut (Boalt 87!) blocking Trump’s military assault on Portland, calling it, elegantly, “ untethered to facts.”
“Whether we choose to follow what the Constitution mandates …goes to the heart of what it means to live under the rule of law in the US.”

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans.

U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties.

Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed.

This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda.

It was always about cruelty.

Time is short for an ACA premium fix in the shutdown fight, says GOP insurance leader After warning Congress for months about premium spikes, the leader of the country's insurance commissioners — a Republican from North Dakota — says he's hopeful there could be a last minute fix.

Keep the ACA premium discounts.

The Federal Election Commission is down to 2 members. So its work is at a standstill The Federal Election Commission, which regulates campaign finance, has lost another member. But the FEC has actually been without a quorum for months, leaving the agency unable to do much of its work.

Federal Election Committee is down to 2 members. It cannot legally function without 4.
