A health care CEO’s retirement account should never matter more than your mother’s chemo, your child’s inhaler, or your own chance to live. Angie Nixon backs Medicare for All because patients need care, not an insurer deciding whether we are worth it. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

A light gray graphic with "September 2026" at the top in blue text. Below that, it says "State primary elections" in bright red. It then lists "Delaware. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island" in blue and says "Go to VotefromAbroad.org for more information and to get your ballot today!" in black text at the bottom. There is a drawing of a red apple with one green leaf at the  right.

A Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children. Part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the money was funneled through multiple organizations before reaching two PACs and the Florida GOP.
