Classic Catch 22. I can't risk not having health insurance. After I pay premiums, I can't afford to go to the doctor. If I don't go to the doctor, I get kicked off my health insurance. Trump officials cut 760,000 enrollees from ACA, claiming fraud www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Despite warnings from human rights groups that electric-shock gloves like the kind ICE plans to purchase are “readily misused for torture,” police departments, jails, and even school resource officers across the country have been using them for years.

Cops love ICE's new shock gloves. Parents want them out of schools.
Omaha requested 40 pairs of the gloves for just under $66,000 in 2025.

A woman in Arkansas was seeking care for a life-threatening miscarriage. Under the state’s strict abortion ban, no doctor would treat her. “Our hands are tied behind our backs,” one doctor told her. “Tell your friends to vote differently.”

She Faced a Life-Threatening Miscarriage. Under Arkansas' Abortion Ban, Even Calls to the Governor's Office Didn't Help.
Her case shows how abortion bans have left hospital lawyers, not doctors, deciding who gets care -- and how lawmakers and regulators have failed to change that.
