Even as ICE receives $170B in new funding, it has stopped paying for medical care for detainees — including life-saving medications, dialysis, and chemotherapy treatments.

Remember: Over 70% of detainees have no criminal convictions.

Cruelty on steroids.
ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment
ICE halted payments in October, and the situation will persist for at least several more months

New Substack: the myth that SARS-CoV-2 causes “premature ageing” of T cells.
I break down basic T-cell biology, telomeres, why acute-phase studies mislead — and what longitudinal data actually show.

Let’s not trust experts — that makes total sense.

I want a trained pilot flying my plane, just like I want trained experts making decisions about my healthcare.

If RFK doesn’t believe in expertise, maybe he’d be willing to board a flight piloted by someone who learned from the internet.

While millions of families struggle to put food on the table Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans.

That’s what oligarchy is about. That’s what a rigged economy is about.

Is it any wonder that people in this country are angry?

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

Trump, who just burned $20 billion of our taxpayer dollars in a failed attempt to bailout Argentina's economy implies that American children should go hungry because "We can't give everything away."
Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."

The federal judge in the Trump administration’s prosecution of James Comey, the former FBI director, on Wednesday blasted President Trump’s handpicked prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, for taking an “indict first, investigate later” approach to the case.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.

I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.

If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

Congress established an emergency fund to ensure that millions of Americans on SNAP continue to receive nutrition assistance when funding expires in November.

Mr. President: Don’t let kids go hungry. Use these emergency funds to feed low-income families.

We can’t let this happen.

And any Republican who refuses to renew health care subsidies for hardworking American families, saying we can’t afford it, needs to explain how they found $1 trillion in tax cuts to give away to the wealthiest people in America.

I’m trying. I think they got the message that the biggest rip off in pharmacy is when patients have to pay the full list price during their deductible phase. And to make matters worse, a big chunk of the money goes to the PBMs and insurance companies

Will COVID-19 vaccines still be used in the future?

Seems like a strange question. Short answer: probably mostly in the elderly. But it’s more nuanced; it’s not primarily about preventing COVID-19 anymore.
