NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.
“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.
But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

Yesterday at the ICE detention facility I met Maria, an amazing woman who was going to the store when armed and masked ICE agents surrounded her car, broke her window, dragged her out, and locked her up even though she has absolutely no criminal record.

If there are HASC/SASC staffers reading this, please try to convince your bosses that allowing active duty military officers to post wildly partisan shit, loudly and frequently, is an existential threat
The nice thing is that all the sexist, racist, homophobic, etc etc dickheads are poasting with abandon, as though the pendulum will never swing in the opposite direction. When it does, the key will be to stop relying on norms of conduct and to start nailing people to the wall for violating regs

TrumpRx claims to offer the lowest prices. But many drugs have cheaper generics. @statnews.com At least 18 have cheaper generics available via GoodRx or Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs. Consumers could save hundreds of dollars by going with the exact same generic medicine, instead of TrumpRx’s price.

As Trump threatens this year’s elections, he operates against the cold reality that he has never accepted an election he lost. He won’t accept it when he loses control of Congress this fall. He will try to overturn it however he can, with the full range of tools available to him as president.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
