The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour. https://futurism.com/science-energy/diarrhea-lettuce-taylor-farms-prison-labor

The purpose of Medicare and Medicaid is for us to get the healthcare we need without going broke. Due to President Trump, low-income people on Medicare will have to pay more for their prescription drug coverage next year. Trump also started a pilot project to require prior authorizations for people on Medicare and gave private companies a financial reward for rejecting prior authorizations.

Almost nobody in this country has real security in retirement. Even those who have substantial savings risk having them completely wiped out by the cost of long-term care. “The median cost of assisted living has risen 44 percent in five years, nearly double the rate of inflation.” For many, long-term care will wipe out their adult children’s savings, too, leaving them with nothing for their own retirement.

An Overland couple who had recently returned to Guatemala was found bound and shot to death in a sugarcane field. Nixon Giovanni Pérez Paz and Glendy Marisol González de la Cruz were killed weeks after González de la Cruz self-deported to be with her husband, who was deported by #ICE last year. https://www.stlpr.org/law-order/2026-07-27/overland-missouri-couple-killed-guatemala-deportations

In his push to remove or sideline Black and women officers, Hegseth's goal is clear: systematically push Black leaders and women out of positions of authority and narrow who gets to rise. It’s all part of the Trump administration's corrupt plan to take complete control. https://share.nwmd.social/s/f5r2CNYR

Two more people are dead this week, killed by federal agents in Houston and Maine, and neither one was even the target of the operation. We already know how Todd Blanche will respond. When ICE killed Renee Good, he refused to investigate. When a federal agent killed Alex Pretti, he went on Meet the Press and called it "humane." Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota quit rather than help him go after Good's widow instead of the agent who shot her. #BlockBlanche

DOJ's own ethics office told Blanche to recuse from anything involving Trump. He agreed, then ran the Epstein investigation himself anyway. The lawyer who flagged it? Fired. Call your senators at 202-224-3121 before this goes any further. #BlockBlanche

As Acting AG, Blanche moved to wipe out the seditious conspiracy convictions of 12 Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Convictions a jury reached, gone with the stroke of a pen. Call your senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to reject Blanche. #BlockBlanche

No one wants Todd Blanche to be America’s top lawyer except for Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein’s pals. Tell your senators to block Blanche's confirmation as U.S. Attorney General. The last thing we need is an Epstein shill running the Justice Department. https://share.weareultraviolet.org/s/Nc8o7NdH

The heat in Europe and parts of the US is terrible. It's worse than it has ever been. The weather is “Yo-Yo-ing” up and down. We need to switch to unlimited clean energy now and get the climate back in balance. Besides, if Iran can raise the price of gas by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, we’re held hostage by our own dependence on oil!

Montana Republican Senate nominee Kurt Alme, who previously served as his state’s US attorney, cut a plea deal in 2020 that allowed a tribal police officer who sexually abused a 6-year-old girl to serve less than a year in prison and avoid being registered as a sex offender. #MTPol #Montana https://www.huffpost.com/entry/montana-gop-senate-nominee-kurt-alme-child-sex-offender-plea-deal_n_6a3c5f52e4b09ad68678175f

*In Trump’s America, they’ll send ICE to a polling place over an Instagram post.* *That’s exactly what happened to @turndapaigeofficial last Tuesday in Syracuse. She was working the polls. Agents showed up, demanded she delete a post calling for an ICE agent to be charged, and tried to make her sign a form admitting she broke the law.* *She refused. Wouldn’t sign. Won’t delete. That’s courage.* *#Can’tStopUs #HandsOffOurFreeSpeech*
