Free healthcare clinic coming to Paris
Due to geographic, economic, or cultural barriers, much of the U.S. population is uninsured or underinsured. Remote Area Medical (RAM) is stepping in to address this issue by offering a free, comprehensive healthcare clinic at Paris High School located at 14040 East 1200th Road, Paris, on June 28-29. This clinic will provide dental, vision, and medical care to those who might otherwise go without these essential services.
The clinic is in collaboration with Longview Capital Corporation and the Longview Foundation.
RAM Clinics are a lifeline for underserved communities, offering free healthcare services that include general medical exams, dental cleanings, extractions, eye exams, and prescription glasses made on-site. By bringing healthcare directly to those in need, RAM removes the barriers of cost and distance that often prevent people from seeking care.
The upcoming clinic in Paris is open to anyone in need, with no insurance and no ID required. RAM encourages anyone who could benefit from these services to attend and receive the care they deserve. The parking lot will open no later than 11:59 p.m. (Midnight) Friday night, June 27. and remain open for the duration of the clinic.
Once in the parking lot, additional information regarding clinic-opening processes and next steps will be provided.
Clinic doors open at 6 a.m., services are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Saturday's clinic operations will be an abbreviated day, patients are advised to arrive as early as possible. Due to time constraints, patients should be prepared to choose between dental and vision services.
In some situations outside of RAM's control, such as inclement weather, volunteer cancellations or other circumstances, the parking lot may open earlier or a smaller number of patients may be served. RAM encourages everyone who would like services, especially dental services, to arrive as early as possible. Clinic closing time may vary based on each service area's daily capacity.

Jeffries' ‘magic minute' hits hour 3
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is blasting Republican colleagues over Medicaid as he issues extended remarks ahead of the final GOP megabill vote. Jeffries is utilizing his so-called magic minute to read off letters sent in by individuals in each state who rely on benefits that potentially hang in the balance as a result of the megabill's provisions. After reading a story from Arizona and criticizing Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-Ariz), Jeffries told the chamber: 'I'm still in the A section right now, so strap in.' He read another story from a constituent in GOP Rep. David Valadao's district in California, which Jeffries said has the highest concentration of Medicaid recipients in the country. The writer's son has Down syndrome and autism and lives at home with aging parents. He requires in-home care, which is provided through a Medicaid service that could be threatened. Jeffries said his goal in reading out these stories is to 'lift up the voices of everyday Americans all across the country.' 'This one big ugly Republican bill has put a target on their back,' Jeffries said. 'This is a question for so many individuals of life and death. … It is so extraordinary that in the middle of the night, Americans face a bill that will target their health care.' The minority leader is also hinting at the vulnerability of certain Republicans who are voting to advance the bill in potentially toss-up districts. Jeffries said one letter came from someone in a district 'currently represented by Congressman Gabe Evans — currently represented.' Speaker Mike Johnson predicted Jeffries would speak for an hour, but it's unclear how long the speech will go on. 'I'm going to take my time,' Jeffries declared to applause from Democrats on the floor.

More Trump voters say he is more responsible than Biden for economy: Survey
Voters who supported President Trump in the 2024 presidential election are more likely to hold him accountable for the current state of the economy than the previous administration, according to a new survey. The latest poll from the Wall Street Journal/YouGov, shows 46 percent of Trump voters crediting the current president with the state of the economy, while 34 percent placed responsibility on former President Biden. Another 13 percent say they're not sure, and 8 percent did not pick a side. Meanwhile, 75 percent of former Vice President Harris's 2024 supporters say Trump is responsible for the current economy and 14 percent say Biden is responsible. Just 6 percent are not sure, and another 6 percent say neither are accountable, according to the survey. Overall, 55 percent of Americans give Trump credit, while 23 percent give Biden credit, the results show. The poll comes as the economy has seen a strong uptick in the financial markets, even as businesses face lingering uncertainty over the fate of Trump's tariffs. At the same time, private-sector employment saw the first monthly decline in more than two years in June, according to an ADP National Employment Report released Wednesday. In an earlier survey from The Economist/YouGov, conducted in early May, Trump voters were more likely to credit Biden with the economy — 55 percent — than they were to credit the president — at 32 percent. Harris voters, meanwhile, were even more likely to say Trump was responsible for the state of the economy than they are now — at 81 percent — compared to the 9 percent who said at the time that the former president was responsible. Overall, slightly fewer Americans — at 51 percent — held Trump responsible for the economy, while 28 percent said Biden was responsible in the previous poll. The May poll came a month after Trump announced sweeping tariffs that sent the stock market tumbling. In a post on Truth Social in late April, Trump wrote, 'This is Biden's stock market, not Trump's.' Survey respondents were asked in both polls whether they agree with that statement — but were not told that Trump said it. In the previous poll, 41 percent of Trump voters said they agreed with the statement, while 36 percent disagreed. In the latest survey, as the stock market hits record highs, 46 percent of the president's supporters say they disagree with the statement and 29 percent said the opposite. Another 26 percent are not sure. The Wall Street Journal/YouGov survey was conducted on June 17-20 and included 1,034 U.S. adults. It has a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points.
