🚨 BREAKING: At Trump’s ICE detention camp in Dilley, Texas, agents are reportedly raiding family dormitories to confiscate children’s letters after they exposed abuse and neglect.

@DFRavens @CoffeeBlackMD@zippkode@EricLevitz In 2020, for the first time since 1996, Congress approved an expansion in residency spots. 1000 positions would be distributed to teaching hospitals over the course of 5 years, with >50% being allocated to primary care.

My baby's cancer may have returned and my insurance, @Cigna, is refusing to help cover a PET scan so we can find out if it has, and if needed, continue our work to save his life. No qualms about putting my child's life on the line for their bottom line. He is not even 2 years old
Thanks to @dadban4 we know where #MohammadGhobadlou is. But we don't know how he is doing. Good news that #MohammadBoroghani|s death sentence seems to be suspended (for now), but it makes us worry more about Mohammad Ghobadlou... @C_AB_ @MDiedenhofen https://t.co/dYl2vyseBZ
