This violation of constitutional rights occurred at University of Florida Health in #Jacksonville, #Florida. #FL has gone further than other states to guarantee medical freedom for those declining vaccines, but has restricted the medical freedom of pregnant women.

@propublica.org shared a recording of a virtual court hearing for a #FL mother in labor who wouldn’t consent to a cesarean without trying to have a vaginal delivery first. A nursing supervisor wheeled a tablet to her bed and told her she was in court for failing to agree to a C-section.

Why Michigan’s voter roll case could be first to reach the Supreme Court A fast-moving Sixth Circuit and its conservative tilt could put Michigan at the center of the DOJ’s fight over access to state voter rolls.

The first White House Iftar dinner was held 50 years before the founding of the GOP. Our Muslim family, friends, and neighbors are welcome, and they aren’t going anywhere. We unequivocally reject the vile Islamophobia on display and remain committed to driving it out of our politics and government.

As Mayor Mamdani said in response to Tuberville, "I feel a loneliness and isolation that I know many of you have felt as well." We won't let Muslim Americans face the GOP's hate alone. It's on all of us to stomp out religious bigotry and ensure Republicans face consequences for their racism.

Congress must censure Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, Andy Ogles, and Brandon Gill. These Republicans are inciting hatred β€” and there must be consequences. Condemning vitriolic bigotry shouldn't be considered a partisan act.

This is unfortunately a tired playbook: Attempting to whip up hate towards Muslim and Arab communities as a pretext for disastrous wars abroad, and violence and civil rights violations at home. It’s pathetic, and we must defeat it.

Everyone in America should feel free to worship without fear. Religious freedom does not only apply to a select group of faiths. Every Member of Congress took an oath to support the Constitution. Smearing an entire religion as dangerous is in direct violation of that oath.

Multiple Republicans in Congress post openly anti-Muslim statements At least four congressional Republicans have expressed anti-Islamic sentiments on social media in the wake of the Iran War and recent violent attacks in the U.S.

The Republican Party's descent into open Islamophobia is not just disgusting β€” it's also completely un-American. Muslims have been part of the American experiment since before this country began. We will not let the GOP smear millions of Muslim Americans in order to distract from Trump's failures.

Stars & Stripes is one of the best examples (if not the best) of a successful, publicly-funded, editorially independent newspaper. The model could be the future of journalism. Therefore, the Trump administration wants to kill it.

Gen. Dan Caine, Joint Chiefs chair, told Trump that an American attack could prompt Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz. He didn't listen.

How a Decades-Old Loophole Lets Billionaires Avoid Medicare Taxes Some of Wall Street’s richest and most powerful figures are using a legal loophole to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes earmarked for health care, a ProPublica investigation found.

Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes.

Closing it β€” and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners β€” could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program.

Today a judge ruled on what we all already know: the Trump Administration's weaponization of DOJ against Jerome Powell amounts to nothing more than a witch hunt.

The Senate should not move forward with any Fed nomination until the probes against Powell and Lisa Cook are dropped.

The New York Times @nytimes Breaking News: The EPA moved to weaken limits on emissions of ethylene oxide, a cancer-causing gas. From nytimes.com

It’s simple: more exposure to ethylene oxide means more cases of cancer for workers and communities. Trump’s EPA is rolling back our protections against these toxic emissionsβ€”we can’t let the EPA put polluter profits over the health of our families.
