Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.

Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maherโ€™s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Waelโ€™s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didnโ€™t get to say goodbye.

Trumpโ€™s plan has been clear: terrorize Americans, attack them, shoot them in the face, and create as much chaos as possible โ€” whatever it takes. Then use the chaos he manufactured to invoke the Insurrection Act.

โ€œTicking Time Bombโ€: A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldnโ€™t Get an Abortion in Texas. Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldnโ€™t access abortions.

These are the devastating consequences of Republican abortion bans. Women sufferโ€”and in some cases dieโ€”because they can't get the health care they need.

Abortion IS health care. Full stop.

No kidding, seeing all this happen even if I'm not from the US is a huge deterrent for me coming out. The sudden spike and normalisation of transphobia is outright terrifying and I fear for my safety if I publicly come out. Fucking hate the rise of anti-trans sentiment worldwide.

Medicaid cuts threaten rural hospitals โ€” and access to maternity care Medicaid cuts in Trumpโ€™s One Big Beautiful Bill threaten rural hospitals, risking service cuts and closures that could severely limit access to maternity care.

Too many women already have to travel hours just to get maternity care. Congressional Republicansโ€™ Medicaid cuts will force even more hospitals to close their doors. We should be strengthening access to care, not making it harder for moms and babies.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

If youโ€™re an immigrant with legal status whoโ€™s committed 0 crimes you can be sent to a torture prison where youโ€™ll be raped and dehumanized.

If youโ€™re old pals with Trump and ran a pedophile ring you get sent to a cushy minimum security prison despite being ineligible because youโ€™re a sex offender.

Some havenโ€™t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro Hernรกndez, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.

One of the four people killed in Monday's Midtown shooting was an off-duty New York Police officer Didarul Islam.

He was the father of two and his wife was pregnant. She is due with their third child next month.

He is also an immigrant from Bangladesh.
