I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.
ICE’s Secret Weapon Is in Your CommunityWhile attempting to maintain a relatively lower profile, ICE is managing to arrest record numbers of people. Here’s how it’s doing that.newrepublic.com
yep. a very similar Ebola outbreak happened in 2014 and Barack Obama took care of it handily. now Trump is just letting it rip zeteo.com/p/ebola-cong...
Blame Elon Musk and Donald Trump for the Out-of-Control Ebola CrisisJeremy Konyndyk, who helped lead the U.S. response to the 2014 Ebola outbreak, writes about the deadly consequences DOGE's dismantling of USAID has had, as Congo struggles to contain the virus.zeteo.com
I've been seeing a lot of people responding to this with "there ought to be a law," but importantly, we haven't needed a law for this sort of thing because no prior president wanted to be known as a leader who would literally kill people in their hour of need for not voting for him
Seth MasketThis is honestly one of the most shocking images coming out of this administration and that’s saying something
Trump absolutely cratering by many metrics in new CNN poll: 66% say he puts himself over country 61% disapprove of ballroom, arch, etc 57% say lacks sharpness to serve (!) 73% say he's out of touch w/regular people (!!) His personalist project is over. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2137...
We’ve Officially Entered the Twilight of Late-Stage TrumpismIt’s all there in a new CNN poll, and it’s heartening to see: Large majorities are sick of Donald Trump’s vanity, venality, and megalomania.newrepublic.com
Trump kicked millions off health insurance while failing to check inflation & hiking gas prices so uninsured forego care or end up in ERs racking up unpaid bills & hospital profits fall & they raise rates on the insured & insurers hike premiums - a hell spiral. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/b...
After Obamacare Cuts, Hospitals Are Treating More Uninsured PatientsMore people who lost coverage after congressional Republicans ended enhanced federal subsidies are now seeking care in emergency rooms and unable to pay bills.www.nytimes.com
Massive coverage loss in SNAP, and even more massive losses in Medicaid, will be among the *eligible*. Congress designed a dystopian set of administrative requirements that, by design, will make it practically impossible for eligible individuals to access coverage.
Kathleen Bachynski“Experts worry that the litany of unanswered questions surrounding medical frailty will lead to more vulnerable people getting kicked out of the program. Preliminary estimates from the Congressional Budget Office suggest over 7 million people will lose coverage in coming years.”
@artsteinberg-pft.bsky.social spoke with @cityandstatepa.bsky.social about Philly's school facilities plan, a "house of cards" that is only certain to close schools, not fix the rest as promised www.cityandstatepa.com/politics/202... #PhlEd
Addition by subtraction: Philly schools’ controversial closure plan has many ways to failThe School District of Philadelphia has a $3 billion “right-sizing” plan to improve hundreds of city schools by closing 17 of them – but not everyone is buying it.www.cityandstatepa.com
minnesota state rep jess hanson rides elon musk for filth for trying to defend his pervy app: "when the richest man in the world hangs out with the epstein class... we cannot act surprised when he's trying to protect the number one tool used to make child sexual abuse material"

one of the things covid really laid bare was that senior leaders and executives are totally disconnected from how workers actually do their work in a way that was pretty shocking and wasn’t, in my working experience, always the case (at least to this extreme)
GOLIKEHELLMACHINEi worked for more than one client on trying to draft RTO policies that were intended to ease workers back into it and prioritize health, flexibility, and manager discretion only to see their senior leaders trash the plan and adopt the stick approach
