"After Medicaid officials improperly shared data about millions of people in January with immigration officials, ICE then shared that data with the data analytics firm Palantir" Palantir runs the app ELITE, which ICE uses to find addresses and neighborhoods to raid. Outrageous but not surprised 😒
npr.org
ICE shared Medicaid data it wasn't supposed to have with Palantir
The revelations came out in a federal court case brought by Democratic states challenging ICE's access to Medicaid data to aid in deportation efforts.

This is a good point, actually. And it should remind us all that Donald Trump should already be spending the rest of his life in jail.
Andrew Fleischman: Tina Peters did bad stuff and she was wrong to do it, but five years is a completely reasonable sentence for a non violent crime that resulted in no actual harm.

Long prison sentences are for defendants who hurt people and are likely to do it again.

Just canceled my Houston Chronicle subscription. I no longer care about good articles. I’ve lost my job and healthcare, my son’s lost his Medicaid, all due to this fascist regime. Yet the HC had reps at the WH Correspondents Dinner honoring 🤡, “speculating about who would face Trump's ire.” (🧵)
Trump had boycotted previous dinners as president. It was apparent, going into the dinner, that he had things he wanted to say about the media coverage he seems to revile even as it supplies him with oxygen. "I was really ready to rip it," he said later at the White House.

“Health care inflation is a general problem, and Congress expanded veterans’ health care in Pact Act of 2022, so higher spending is to be expected. But the majority of VA spending is not on health care, and the department’s spending surge was already underway before the new bill was signed.”
