Inside Dilley: The Texas Town at the Center of Trump’s Family Detention Surge Dilley, Texas calls itself “A slice of the good life,” but for hundreds of detained families, life there looks very different. Letters written by detained children and shared with ProPublica paint a harrowing picture of life inside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center. Ali breaks down the Trump administration's new strategy of quickly transferring migrants to Texas, where appeals are heard by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, a court widely seen as favorable to the administration’s immigration agenda.

Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen.

"The pattern is also a lesson. News organizations that have stood up for themselves and pushed back against the attempts at intimidation prevailed.

‘Lots of people will actually die’: Health expert outlines consequences of letting ACA subsidies expire The government reopened this week without a deal to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, which has alarmed health care experts across the nation. “Lots of people will actually die because we don’t have universal coverage,” said University of Pennsylvania professor and former White House Health Policy Adviser Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel. “Republicans have had 15 years since the passage of the Affordable Care Act and haven’t come up with a replacement…As president Trump famously says, he has concepts of ideas, concepts of a plan, that’s not a plan.”

“Lots of people will actually die,” @zekeemanuel.bsky.social warns now that Obamacare subsidies are set to expire at the end of the year. “Republicans have had 15 years since the passage of the [ACA] and haven’t come up with a replacement.” #Velshi

A chart titled "How Rich is Donald Trump: $7.3 billion," showing his wealth skyrocketing in 2025

Look at that huge jump in Trump's wealth in 2025.

Americans can't afford groceries or health care.

But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump.

This is so so awful. He left four children (all Americans, not that it should matter) and a grieving wife (also an American, not that it should matter)

Damn right!!

‘Do it the easy way or the hard way’: FCC chair sparks free speech crisis FCC chair Brendan Carr this past week warned ABC to “do this the easy way or the hard way.” Hours later, ABC benched late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel—right as the network’s media partners push a multi-billion-dollar merger that hinges on FCC approval. Pres. Trump piled on, declaring that any critical coverage of him should be “illegal.” Why all the government threats, corporate capitulation, and muzzling of free speech leave our democracy hanging on by a thread.

Obama denounces White House after Kimmel’s suspension Key Democrats are now calling for FCC Chair Brendan Carr to resign.

Obama condemns the White House after Kimmel’s suspension, saying that the Trump admin has taken cancel culture to a "new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies."

Political violence and threats are not the answer.

This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion.

We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

Maurene Comey, the lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffery Epstein saga, is now suing Pam Bondi, the DOJ and the Office of the President for her unlawful firing.

Maurene has all the receipts.
