NEW: Federal prison workers are jumping ship & heading to ICE for better pay + bonuses. Already BOP lost >1400 people this year, reversing all of 2024’s staffing gains. It’s an unintended consequence of Trump’s push for mass deportations

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE
Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

The House bill being voted on today to require cash bail in DC is insane.
DC hasn’t had cash bail since 1992, and crime has plummeted since.
Our current system is near identical to federal law.
People should be held pretrial if they pose a safety risk — not because they are too poor to pay bail.

Gift link. It's a small scale, but the idea of paying for free busses with increased parking costs and 1% increase in utility tax is awesome... making cars pay more of their true cost (externality) while simultaneously making alternatives more accessible and appealing. It can be done!

i think the synthesis so far of the LA/DC/Chicago experiences is:
1) vulnerable people should hide and wait it out to whatever extent they can
2) other people should help them do that, financially and otherwise
3) other people should also get loud
4) not violent though

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

This is why the vast majority of Democratic lawmakers wanted to force the ACA subsidies into a CR to reopen the government. That would’ve done more to force Mike Johnson’s hand. The deal they struck, which promises a vote in the Senate, does not guarantee a vote in the House.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
