Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.

This is empirically false. 92% of Medicaid recipients are working or would be exempt from work reqs, but we know from experience with Arkansas that documentation proves onerous, esp with multiple jobs with inconsistent hours or gig work. And 2/3 of coverage losses from unwinding were procedural!

Experts estimate that the IRS stands to lose up to $479 billion over the next decade as immigrants face deportation and disengage from the formal economy. https://wapo.st/4vvl1pj

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since.

But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.

I really need health care reporters to get educated on ABA because I am extremely tired of seeing stories about ‘autism services’ being cut and then it’s just ABA uncritically represented as the best thing ever and no discussion of services autistics have actually asked for and benefit from.

More than 400,000 Arizonans have lost their SNAP benefits since July — the largest decline in the nation by a wide margin — as an underfunded state agency administered changes called for in President Donald Trump's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The drop represents nearly 47% of the state's participants in the program better known as food stamps and includes about 180,000 children, according to the Arizona Department of Economic Security, which administers the program.

Nearly half of Arizona’a SNAP participants have been booted off. www.propublica.org/article/ariz...

My patient would rather take a peptide than a statin. That reveals an uncomfortable truth in medicine “The volume of evidence behind a therapy has become inversely correlated with public trust in it,” writes Vikas Patel.

"My patient is refusing a drug studied in 170,000 people because of side effects that a 124,000-person analysis just confirmed do not exist — while injecting a compound studied in 14 humans, from unregulated sources, based on the recommendation of someone who profits from selling it."

Minnesotans challenge warrantless ICE raids in new lawsuit Six Minnesotans filed suit Thursday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security, alleging agents unlawfully entered homes without judicial warrants.

In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that ICE leaders strictly controlled access to a May 2025 memo telling agents they only need an administrative warrant to enter people's homes because they recognized that it is “flagrantly unconstitutional.”
