Howdy, folks! It’s that time of the week: Here at COURIER we’re doing a quick ROUNDUP of everything we’ve been working on. As always, thank you for being a part of this 50,000+ community — I’m grateful for your support.
This week, COURIER has been busy covering the Senate’s passage of Trump’s big, beautiful bill (hint: it has BIG cuts to Medicaid, but it’s a pretty ugly bill for Americans), the death of a 75-year-old Cuban migrant in ICE custody, and more.
Now let's dive in to this week's ROUNDUP!
