re: Trump administration gives personal data of immigrant Medicaid enrollees to ICE

This is incorrect. One woman was just arrested doing it. It’s called FRAUD.
The person you replied to was correct in his statement in that, in general, illegal immigrants are not eligible for SNAP, Medicaid or TANF. The issue is that while an illegal isn't eligible for SNAP or TANF any children or otherwise eligible immigrants in the household are and the illegal doesn't count as a household member for benefit amount but their income is prorated based on household size. So there could be a net benefit in that a benefit household of the same size with the same income receives equal to, or less than, the same size one with an illegal.
As for Medicaid illegals are eligible for what is called "emergency, time-limited Medicaid". Legally that is limited to "placing the patient's health in serious jeopardy, serious impairment to bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ" but in practice it's anything a doctor says is an emergency condition.
ETA: Under Expanded Medicaid states also have the option to allow immigrants, who can't verify qualified immigrant status up to 90 days to provide verification of their status but will receive Medicaid in that meantime, with no limits on how often they can receive that 90 days of eligibility.
Also under Covid PHE rules (2020-2024) there was no real check on immigration status. If you said you were a qualified immigrant (legal permanent resident for 5 years or a refugee or an asylee/parolee with at least 1 year of approved residence or a cuban/haitian) you got Medicaid. COVID rules were a mess.

For what? I’m confused by that tweet.
For deliberately attacking population centers in contrast to the precision attacks from Israel.

It's wild to me how quickly Israel must have put out the fires from any impacts. The AP Tel Aviv skyline doesn't have any smoke rising into the air right now.

For them to come back with a verdict today would mean Bev will keep them for deliberations. Considering it's what? 2pm there, she'll release them for the weekend and reconvene Monday would be my guess.
She said yesterday she would keep them until 5 or 5:30 EST. That was contingent on them actually starting closing arguments at 8:45ish though so who knows if she will keep them that long. At the very least they will have over an hour or deliberation before the normal court ending time of 4.

I believe this is the first day that Turtleboy has been allowed in the courtroom so he has no idea the typical manner of any of the jurors.
He has been there a few other days but it has been rare. There is one juror that Sue O'Connell from NBC Boston, who has been there a majority of days, says never takes notes so it might be the same one.

What is the board's prediction/outcome for Karen Read?
In a just world we would get a Not Guilty on all 3 counts this afternoon but it will end in another hung jury. Hank provided what seemed like 100 different theories so a juror just has to latch onto one of them and refuse to budge.

I often wonder, in a case with so many eyes watching, how she is so blatantly biased.
It’s because she is an appointed judge and we just don’t impeach judges in America. She can essentially do whatever she wants.
With that said a lot of judges are very pro-state. As obvious as her bias is she’s not out of the norm.

I have had meetings all day today so I'm busy catching up. I'm still an hour or so behind but so far Rentschler demolished the CW's case and Aperture today. I don't know how Hank was able to continuously ask questions that let him say "John O'Keefe was not hit by a car". It's wild. I completely take back my statement a day or two ago about Hank probably being the best lawyer on either side.

Rentschler not being able to fully answer questions without Bev telling Jackson to ask another question is maddening. Welcher was able to talk for what seemed like 5 minutes at a time with no questions or statement from Brennan other than him saying "please continue"

Is it just me or do you think that Judge wants her to be found guilty. She lets the prosecution get away with anything and reprimands anything the defense does.
Allegedly she has ties to one of the main players on the Commonwealth side, I believe it is the McCabes, who refer to her as "Auntie Bev". I don't know if that is true but I've read it in a couple of places.

Did it once in some podunk town in LA when I was in college probably 20 years ago. Ton of fun. I actually was more worried about going up into the air than I was jumping out of the plane because of how run down the plane was.

In fairness, he (Hank) discredited that to Aunt Bev but it was muffled so couldn't hear what he said.
He really didn't. He said that he "didn't hire her 4 or 5 times. He used her a few times."

Dr. Laposata has been the best witness in this case. She is incredible and worth every cent she is being paid.

Wow.
Karen unequivocally did not hit John and she is being framed but to act like Hank isn't a good lawyer or didn't have a good cross on Barros on the damage to the tail light or the first part of Dr. Wolfe, in regards to weight difference in the arm is just wrong.
He is a slimy, lying POS but he's a good lawyer and has basically gotten every single thing he has wanted in this case.
