A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.
He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.
We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

The man's arrest is the latest case of federal authorities detaining immigrants with legal status during immigration check-ins. Lawmakers call the detainment of those who helped U.S. troops at war a betrayal. [via @wbur.org]

NEWS: The Trump administration just announced it will eliminate the EPA’s Office of Research and Development and begin firing hundreds of government scientists.
For months, the Trump administration denied they were doing this… even after a leaked document exposed their plans.

Many of the effects of the Reconciliation Bill will not be felt until after the 2026 midterms, but we can predict the worst of its impact. @pingree.house.gov joins Jen to discuss how cuts to vital services will harm over a third of Mainers.

64% of Medicaid recipients under age 65 work, per KFF. As for the rest, see below. There are not 34m potential agricultural workers on Medicaid just raring to go pick vegetables.

Back to the House. People who know better will vote for this horrible bill and all the destruction. #CowardCoup Mike Lawler wants to be Governor of NY and is already raking in money. And I suspect he has promised a gig with the Trump Administration if his reelection fails. Ambition trumps ethics.

Marco Rubio has abandoned his fight for freedoms
Once a stalwart defender of freedom everywhere, he has turned into another Trump sycophant.

JUST IN: Trump’s wildly unpopular “big, beautiful bill” has passed 51–50 (with VP Vance providing the tie-breaking vote).
It’s all thanks to Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski.

Lisa knows the bill will kill. She has said she is voting scared. But she helps it pass, voting for millions (including Alaskans) to lose Medicaid. Serving King Donald.

Senator Collins--who I think began doing what she believed in--is a lesson in collapse and possibly a tragic figure. She has concerns again... about the Big Beautiful Bill that will end medical care for her working class constituents. I bet she votes for it. #CowardCoup #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
