Premium Disaster Watch: The Republican Health Care Disaster Keeps Getting Worse as Families Face More Premium Hikes
The health care affordability crisis Donald Trump and Republicans created is deepening by the day. Across the country, families are getting hit with another wave of premium hikes, insurers are pulling back from the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, hospitals are warning of growing financial strain, and small businesses are struggling to keep coverage affordable for their employees. State after state is reportingdouble-digit premium increases for 2027, following last year's massive spikes, as Americans continue to pay the price for Republicans' decision to rip away the health care tax credits that helped millions afford coverage. Every headline tells the same story: health care is becoming even more expensive, coverage is slipping further out of reach, and the damage from Republican health care cuts is only getting worse.

League of Women Voters Responds to DC Circuit Court Ruling on Mail Voting Executive Order
The League of Women Voters today issued the following statement from CEO Celina Stewart in response to yesterday's decision by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit regarding President Trump's executive order on mail voting:
"Yesterday's ruling does not change what is at stake for voters. The freedom to vote is fundamental to our democracy, and it is deeply troubling that, just months beforethe 2026 midterm elections, voters are once again being forced to navigate uncertainty and confusion about the rules that govern our access to the ballot.
"While the court declined to block the executive order at this stage, the serious concerns surrounding this proposal remain. The Constitution is clear: states are responsible for administering elections, and voters deserve election rules that are transparent, stable, and designed to expand participation -- not create confusion or create new barriers to the ballot box. It is shameful that Americans must remain constantly vigilant against efforts from the highest levels of government to make it harder for eligible citizens to vote.
"Mail voting is a secure, reliable, and trusted option used by millions of Americans. Seniors, military families, rural voters, voters with disabilities, caregivers, and working people across the country rely on the flexibility mail voting provides to participate in our democracy. Efforts to restrict access to mail ballots risk silencing eligible voters and undermining confidence in our election system at a moment when Americans deserve certainty, stability, and trust. At a time when election officials should be able to focus on helping voters participate, this executive order threaten to inject confusion and fear into the process in ways that could deter eligible voters from casting their ballots--it is intentional and undemocratic.
"The League of Women Voters remains deeply concerned about this executive order and its potential impact on voters and election administration. It is vital that Americans remember the power of their vote, and make sure unnecessary barriers do not silence their voice in the 2026 midterm elections. The League will continue to challenge policies that threaten free, fair, and accessible elections, and remains committed to ensuring every eligible voter has access to the ballot. No voter should have to wonder whether new restrictions, shifting rules, or political interference will stand between them and their constitutional right. Democracy is strongest when all voters can fully participate, and we deserve better."

LULAC APPLAUDS FEDERAL COURT ORDER FREEING KEY WITNESS IN THE KILLING OF LORENZO SALGADO ARAUJO
Nation's oldest and largest Latino civil rights organization says the release of Jose Trinidad Rojas Pliego vindicates due process and brings the Salgado Araujo family one step closer to the truth.
-
HOUSTON -- The League of United Latin American Citizens applauds the federal court order directing the release of Jose Trinidad Rojas Pliego, a key witness to the July 7 fatal shootingof Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Houston's East End.
"A federal court has now affirmed what LULAC has said since the morning of July 7: no person on American soil may be stripped of liberty without due process of law," said Roman Palomares, LULAC national president and chairman of the board. "The Constitution does not first ask where a man was born before it protects him. This order is a judgment on a practice that has swept up witnesses, workers and fathers without individualized justification, and it puts every agency operating in our neighborhoods on notice that the courts are watching."
U.S. District Judge Keith P. Ellison granted Rojas Pliego's petition for a writ of habeas corpus Monday evening, ordering ICE to free him within 48 hours after finding that his continued detention violated his Fifth Amendment right to due process. The order requires that he be released in a public place, that his attorneys receive at least three hours' notice beforehand, and that the Department of Homeland Security obtain a pre-detention hearing before attempting to detain him again. Days earlier, the same judge blocked his deportation.
"A father is going home to his children, and a family that has spent three weeks in fear can finally breathe," Juan Proano, LULAC chief executive officer. "But we do not forget why he was taken from them. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo left for work on a Tuesday morning and never came home. His brother, Victor, and Daniel Tirado Pantoja are still behind bars in Conroe for the crime of witnessing what happened. This community will not rest until all of them are home and until Houston is told the truth about what took place on Canal Street."
Rojas Pliego, a Mexican citizen, has lived in the United States since 1998. He is the father and stepfather of several U.S. citizen children and has no criminal record. He was riding to a construction job the morning of July 7 when ICE officers stopped the van driven by Salgado Araujo on Canal Street and an officer opened fire, killing the 52-year-old homebuilder and father of three.
Because the officers involved wore no body cameras and their vehicles carried no dashboard cameras, Rojas Pliego and the two men who remain detained at the Montgomery ICE Processing Center in Conroe are the only known witnesses to the shooting. Their accounts contradict the federal government's assertion that Salgado Araujo used his van as a weapon against an officer.

CASE Op-Ed in PJ Media: States Must Close the Junk Science Loophole
For a plaintiff's attorney searching for a windfall payday, highly credible and fact-based expert testimony is always a plus, but it is hardly a necessity. Thanks to lax judges who fail to properly scrutinize expert testimony and allow pure nonsense to reach the ears of a jury, big jury awards can just as easily be handed down when lawyers put highly dubious testimony on thestand.
Infamous examples, such as the judge who allowed an "expert" to testify that breast implants were responsible for drunk driving, may give readers a laugh. But these laughs do not come cheap, given that abuse of our legal system costs consumers over $150 billion annually.
In 1993, former Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun wrote, "The rules of evidence... do assign the trial judge the task of ensuring that an expert's testimony both rests on a reliable foundation and is relevant to the task at hand." On the state court level, Justice Blackmun's view still eludes us. Several recent federal court rulings drive this point home, highlighting the need for states to follow the federal judiciary's lead by modernizing their standards for expert testimony.
In Zurbriggen v. Twin Hill Acquisition, Inc., flight crews alleged that newly issued uniforms caused a range of health problems, including skin irritation, respiratory issues, and hair loss. Both the district court and the Seventh Circuit in Illinois rejected the plaintiffs' expert testimony under amended Federal Rule of Evidence (FRE) 702, finding their experts failed to prove causation.
Since jurors are often asked to weigh opinions on medicine, engineering, and other technical subjects far outside ordinary experience, expert testimony can carry enormous weight in the courtroom. When flimsy expert opinions are admitted during discovery or trial, jurors may have little ability to distinguish between fact and fiction, or causation and coincidence, increasing the risk of flawed outcomes.

CAIR Urges Tenn. State Lawmaker Who Calls for Banning Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism to Visit Mosque, Temples
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy group, today urged a Tennessee state lawmaker who called for banning Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and other non-Christian religions to visit a local mosque, Buddhist temple, and Hindu temple to learn firsthand about those faiths and the Americans who practice them.
StateRep. Monty Fritts claimed the First Amendment protections of religious freedom only apply to the federal government, not the states.
In a statement, Washington, D.C., based CAIR said:
"Calls to ban entire faiths and prohibit Americans from practicing their religion are fundamentally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and the core American principle of religious freedom. Suggesting that Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and other religious minorities should be stripped of their constitutional rights is both dangerous and irresponsible.
"Rather than promoting religious hatred, we encourage this lawmaker to visit a mosque, Buddhist temple, and Hindu temple, meet with members of those communities, and learn that they are fellow Tennesseans and fellow Americans who are freely practicing their religions, contribute positively to our society, and deserve the same constitutional protections as everyone else."
Yesterday, CAIR said it has documented 17 incidents targeting Islamic places of worship in May, June, and July to date. The 17 incidents represent 51 percent of the previous year's total and a 183 percent increase over the same three-month period last year, during which CAIR documented six such incidents.
CAIR's latest civil rights report documented 8,683 anti-Muslim bias complaints in 2025 - the highest number ever recorded by the organization since it began publishing civil rights reports in 1996.

CAIR's mission is to protect civil rights, enhance understanding of Islam, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.

As Arctic Ice Disappears, Marine Mammals Face a Crisis
By Abigail Wadkins-Daub
Earth's Arctic is warming nearly four times as fast as the rest of the planet. As temperatures rise and sea ice disappears, what was once one of Earth's most productive marine ecosystems has begun to collapse.
The Arctic: A Summer Feeding Ground
From May to July, the Arctic experiences its "polar summer," a period when the sun shines for nearly 24 hours each day. During this time,the extended daylight triggers phytoplankton blooms that form the foundation of the Arctic food web.
Throughout these months of extraordinary productivity, many marine mammals, including gray, humpback, fin, and beluga whales, migrate to the Arctic to take advantage of its abundant food resources and to build up energy reserves before their long journey south.
But the sea ice these ecosystems rely on is rapidly disappearing due to global warming.
The Consequences of a Warming Arctic
As sea ice declines, the Arctic ecosystem has begun to change dramatically. Some regions of the Arctic have become completely ice-free in summer months. Marine mammals lose critical habitat, food webs are disrupted, and prey availability declines when Arctic ice disappears. The loss of sea ice and the changes it causes in phytoplankton productivity and ocean conditions affects every level of the food web, creating cascading impacts that alter species interactions and threaten the long-term health of entire populations.
Additionally, as ocean waters continue to warm, harmful algal blooms are able to expand farther north. This spread is further accelerated by the loss of sea ice. Paralytic toxins such as saxitoxin and domoic acid, which are produced by certain species of algae, have been detected in seabirds, walruses, seals, and Arctic whales, where they affect the central nervous system of vertebrates. These toxins can cause respiratory failure, seizures, coma, and death. Over the past two decades, more than 40% of unusual marine mammal mortality events in the contiguous United States have been attributed to algal toxin exposure. As ocean temperatures continue to rise, scientists expect these harmful blooms and their impacts to spread farther north.
Furthermore, the loss of sea ice has resulted in the disappearance of haul-out sites on the ice for walrus, polar bear, and seals. Without the ice flows, we are hearing reports of animals drowning, unable to find a resting place.
Devastating Impact on Gray Whales
Gray whales are just one of many marine mammals suffering the consequences of a warming Arctic. In recent years, the species has been experiencing a shocking population decline, with approximately 136 gray whales having stranded this year alone as of June 16. Experts calculate that for every whale known to have died and stranded, there are likely ten whales that died at sea and sank, or were never otherwise found by researchers.
Recent research suggests that changes to their Arctic feeding grounds are playing a significant role in this mortality event. According to recent post-mortem studies, emaciation was the most common cause of or contribution to death among stranded gray whales. As food availability declines, many whales appear to be returning from their Arctic feeding grounds without the energy reserves they need to survive migration and reproduction. Many gray whales have been observed seeking food on their migration route away from the Arctic, which is also an unusual behavior.
Similar threats extend to other whales and marine mammals in the Arctic, as changes to the ecosystem may disrupt the annual productivity of phytoplankton (plants) and zooplankton (animals), which form the foundation of the Arctic food web.
David Phillips, Director of the International Marine Mammal Project of Earth Island Institute, stated that: "The decline of gray whales along the Pacific Coast is alarming. With their Arctic feeding grounds changing and the whales also facing ship strikes and entanglement in fishing gear, we risk pushing an already stressed population into a deeper crisis. We must act now to turn this around."
Human Activity Increases as Ice Retreats
As sea ice melts away, the Arctic has become increasingly accessible to human activity. Retreating ice has opened the region to expanded shipping, offshore oil and gas development, mining, commercial fishing, tourism, and coastal development. While these industries continue to grow, they also introduce additional pressures on an already stressed ecosystem. Increased vessel traffic raises the risk of ship strikes and underwater noise pollution, while expanding industrial activity can contribute to habitat degradation, pollution, ocean noise, and other disturbances that threaten marine mammals.
The Arctic's Future Depends on What We Do Next
Marine mammals are more than just victims of a warming ocean- they are indicators of the health of the Arctic's vital ecosystem. The challenges they face reflect broader changes unfolding throughout one of the world's most unique and productive environments. Protecting Arctic habitats, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and carefully managing expanding human activity will be essential if whales and other marine mammals are to continue thriving in one of the planet's most rapidly changing regions.
"The Arctic may feel remote, but it's one of the world's most important marine ecosystems. Protecting the Arctic helps ensure whales and countless other species have a future," Phillips added.
What You Can Do:
The good news is that everyone can help reduce the impacts of climate change. Here are a few recommendations from the United Nations for reducing your carbon footprint.
Take steps to save energy and reduce the burning of oil, gas, and coal. Use green alternatives.
To Help Gray Whales:
The International Marine Mammal Project of Earth Island Institute is working closely with Prof. Richard Steiner of Alaska to petition the government to replace the gray whale species on the federal Endangered Species List.
Send a message to officials supporting protection of the gray whale and putting them on the Endangered Species list, to open up resources and special protections for gray whales.
