“Medical staff did not give her any food, water, or pain medication for several hours. Much later that evening, after a significant loss of blood, Lucia was transported to an emergency room approximately an hour away, with her arms and legs shackled.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Pregnant women describe miscarrying and bleeding out while in ICE custody, advocates say

The ACLU and other groups are pressing for ICE to identify and release all pregnant women in custody and to stop detaining anyone known to be pregnant, postpartum or nursing.

Jeez. What a surprise. The cost has gone up, and construction hasn't even started. Trump Plaza wound up $250M over the agreed upon budget with his partners (Harrah's) bc/ he kept making change orders and screwing w/ the project. And we don't even know who's really paying for all of it.

Trump defends East Wing demolition, raises ballroom price to $300 million

The president said the new building would be connected to the White House with a glass bridge.

Terrifying. An Associated Press investigation found more than 420 bills attacking longstanding public health protections such as vaccines, milk safety and fluoride have been introduced in statehouses across the US so far this year. Around 30 bills in 12 states have already been enacted or adopted.

Epstein Ballroom. That's what it is.

Dave Jorgenson @davejorgenson.bsky.social · 10h

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

It's a disturbing trend to economists: Car loans are typically the last payments that Americans are willing to miss. They're too important to their lives: Cars are essential tools to get to work, drive families and access food. https://cnn.it/3Jqi5qL

Kaitlan Collins responds to Mike Johnson's pearl-clutching about Democrats discussing "leverage" by playing a clip of JD Vance, Russ Vought, and Trump making versions of the same argument. Johnson insists it's different, because reasons.

This. The president can't extort corporations to pay essentially taxes to him personally so that he can use that money at his personal discretion to do government work.

Ryan Enos @ryanenos.bsky.social · 8h

It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

The remarks by the Republican House member from Pennsylvania align with efforts by the president and G.O.P. leaders to portray the political left as un-American.

He has as much right to demolish that building as I do. None. It doesn't belong to him. If I pulled up to the Jefferson Memorial with a backhoe I'd expect to be arrested, which is exactly what the NPS police should do to him.

What if POTUS decided to simply demo the entire White House, pave it over, and conduct all business from some other location.

Camp David. NYC. Moscow.

If he just allowed to do that? No notice? No permission?

The answer now seems to be: Sure.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

Awaiting law enforcement.
