We just caught the companies that cage people for ICE writing checks to nine Republicans who want to run the Senate. Nine. Not one of them will say a word about it. Good. We'll say it for them, in all nine states, every day until November. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-fill...

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

A social media screenshot of a post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) featuring a graphic titled "UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE SERVICE DRESS UNIFORM — NEXT GENERATION —" alongside the official Space Force delta logo.
​The image showcases a full uniform concept worn by a male model against a dark gray background:
​Uniform Views: Full front and back views depict a dark slate gray tunic and matching trousers tucked into knee-high, polished black leather riding boots. The jacket features a high Mandarin-style collar, black epaulets, and a black belt with a rectangular silver buckle.
​Design Inspiration: A text block notes the design is "inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Trooper uniform, modernized for the Guardians of the space domain."
​Color Palette: Swatches listed include Space Gray, Midnight Black, Silver Gray, and Satin Black.
​Detailed Insets: Close-up panels highlight the collar insignia, shoulder piping detail, sleeve patch with the Space Force delta, belt buckle, a peaked "Service Dress Cap," and rank insignia examples ranging from O-1 to O-7.
