For me, this is much like listening to newsradio while occasionally talking to myself in the mirror.

NEW: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.
Anna Núñez HIRE ME! COMMS@nunez_anna
A Venezuelan Is Missing. The U.S. Deported Him. But to Where? Ricardo Prada Vásquez does not appear on a list of people sent to a prison in El Salvador, and his family and friends have no idea of his whereabouts. He has essentially disappeared. nytimes.com/2025/04/22/us/…

🇮🇳 For the first time in independent India’s history, the 2024 cabinet includes no Muslim ministers.
As top-down inclusion stalls, does grassroots politics offer a new path forward?

"Nobody would be kicked off Medicaid" is 100% false. Millions of people would AUTOMATICALLY lose their coverage healthinsurance.org/faqs/which-sta… And it's very unlikely the rest of the states could come up with the money to maintain the current coverage.

Austin Scott previews how House Rs plan to cut Medicaid: "The federal govt is paying 90% of the Medicaid expansion. What we've talked about is moving that 90% level of the expansion back... nobody would be kicked off Medicaid as long as governors decided they wanted to continue to fund the program"

@NoLieWithBTC Besides the possibility that DOGE has apparently already downloaded all the claims data for Medicare and Medicaid, is RFK Jr. assuming all private health insurers automatically forward their claims data to the Federal Office of HIPAA-Violating Data Collection?

RFK Jr. is launching a government registry to track autistic Americans using private medical records.

Wow. The Supreme Court will require the Trump admin to facilitate the return of Kilmer Abrego Garcia—the innocent man the Trump admin extrajudicially renditioned to a prison camp in El Salvador.
Three quarters of the people the Trump admin sent have no criminal record, per CBS.

WOW. The Trump admin cancelled a small but meaningful grant program (one that Congress ordered them to operate) that supports local efforts to teach English and civics to people with green cards who want to take the citizenship exam.
More outright anti-immigrant policies.

Over 20 years ago FDA directed manufacturers to reformulate pediatric vaccines by removing thimerosal, an ethylmercury-based preservative previously used in multi-dose vials. In response, vaccines like Hib and DTaP shifted to single-dose vials, eliminating need for preservatives

NEW from me: With House Republicans passing a partisan, damaging continuing resolution that lets Donald Trump & Elon Musk continue to strangle appropriated spending, Senate Democrats have to decide whether they will actively participate in their institution's own destruction.

ProPublica just obtained a remarkable directive to those remaining at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then ...
"Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

@KFF Why does a payer report three different rates for the same network with the same provider for the same service? Why do a dentist and an optometrist have rates for an upper GI endoscopy, and why are the rates different for a service that neither provides?
