NEW: The president, who has framed mental health as a national crisis, paused rules to hold insurers accountable for unlawfully denying coverage. And Congress cut funding to the agency that enforces insurers’ equal treatment of mental and physical health.

One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012.
United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade.

In January, Trump fired 19 inspectors general who root out fraud and corruption.
One of his picks to replace them is a GOP ex-congressman who allegedly violated House ethics rules.
Another resigned from a state job after allegedly mishandling taxpayer money.

Read that back.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
The Trump administration is planning to collect on student loans in default — including by garnishing wages for over 5 million borrowers.
That's after enacting tariffs that will increase the cost of basic goods and could lead to a recession.
What could go wrong?
A tweet by Fox News ( @FoxNews ) reads, "Anti-Trump graffiti spree a sign of emerging alt-left, liberal activist says fxn.ws/2kt9TIX." The image shows a brick wall with graffiti that says "NO FASCIST USA" in red spray paint. A reply tweet by André Davis ( @AndreJDavis82 ) states, "That graffiti doesn't even mention Trump. It's interesting that you are willing to admit the Fascism though."
Even Fox knows it.

Montana is investing $300 million to help those with severe mental illness from cycling through ERs, state psychiatric facilities, jails and homelessness. Advocates say they also need stable housing.

Split image showing White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt wearing a red dress next to a screenshot of the same dress for sale online labeled as made in China, with a caption claiming the Chinese embassy mocked her for boycotting Chinese goods while wearing Chinese-made clothing.
Well played.

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'...
"Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..."

This flew under the radar, but Trump says his administration won't enforce an anti-money laundering law that requires corporations to disclose information on who really owns shell companies to the Treasury.

Post from user @acnewsitics 'Alex Cole' states, "If boycotting Tesla is making conservatives buy electric vehicles, I think liberals should start boycotting books next and see if MAGA accidentally discovers reading."
It. Could. Work.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public.
If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.
Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share.
Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid.
Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

One reason Musk might be so driven to shut down USAID?
The agency's inspector general opened a probe into Starlink last year.
Now the Trump administration says Musk will self-determine his conflicts of interest.
