www.checookcounty.org/so/57PdFwENi... Chicago is Choosing Justice Over Fear, As It Has In the Past. In 1850, the federal government deputized local officials to enforce slavery. In 2025, it demands cooperation in deportation. Chicago resisted nearly two centuries ago, and it still is today.

“Since the 1980s, Republican politicians have tried — and, thankfully, failed — to cut Medicaid.” An Op-ed by Health & Medicine Policy Research Group, and the Legal Council for Health Justuce #Medicaid www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
msnbc.com
Opinion | Even if you don’t have Medicaid, you’ll likely be hurt if Republicans cut it
Medicaid, America’s largest health insurance program, is so integral to health care finance and delivery that the GOP’s threatened cuts would prompt a deadly domino effect.
