Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

What if Epstein got the sweetheart deal from Acosta & committed more sex crimes during his house arrest because he knew he was invincible to prosecution?

He operated boldly & freely because he was created by the CIA & protected by the FBI.

How many other men have a 6 million pg file in the FBI? 🧵

From Take Action CT:

When protesting consider wearing a mask. Here’s why:

If you live in an area where federal officers are carrying out ICE raids and you plan to observe, monitor or protest those
activities, it might be a good idea to wear a mask or at least keep your face
partially covered up.

The House voted today to block Trump’s tariffs on Canada, with six Republicans joining the Democrats in the symbolic rebuke.

The resolution was approved 219-211. GOP Reps. Kevin Kiley, Thomas Massie, Don Bacon, Brian Fitzpatrick, Jeff Hurd and Dan Newhouse voted for the resolution.
House votes to disapprove of Trump’s Canada tariffs
Six Republicans voted in favor of the resolution, which now goes to the Senate. The president would almost certainly veto it.

The wealthy dominate political donations. My co-authored research found the top 0.1% contribute at rates 10-15x higher than bottom 90%. They’re not just more likely to donate, they give exponentially more per capita. The wealth gradient in politics is real. cup.org/4cfm0Az
Figure 1 from the paper shows the Association between Percentile Wealth Bins (x-Axis) and: (a) Contribution Rate, (b) per Capita Contribution Amount. Figure 1 presents two plots. Panel (a) displays the percentage of donors in each wealth rank that contributed to each of the six campaigns (i.e., Democratic and Republican nominees in 2012, 2016, and 2020).Footnote 17 Panel (b) displays the per capita dollars from each wealth bin, by campaign (including those who donate nothing). As Figure 1 shows, the association between wealth and contributions is approximately exponential. The wealthiest are much more likely to contribute, and the wealth gradient is even steeper in dollars because the top 0.1% contribute very large sums. This is one of the most robust findings in the campaign finance literature, but the figure demonstrates it with considerably more precision. By measuring wealth independently of contribution size, we avoid misattributing smaller contributions to non-wealthy donors and underestimating wealthy dollars. Most relevant to our analysis, Figure 1 compares the wealth gradients for Trump versus other candidates. In 2016, compared to other candidates, Trump’s wealth gradient is far flatter, because Trump elicited far fewer wealthy contributors and per capita dollars. For example, among the top 0.1%, Trump’s donors and per capita dollars represent about one third of Romney’s. While Trump did worse than all other candidates among nearly all wealth groups, that deficit was larger among the wealthy. In short, in 2016, wealthy donations to Trump are low compared to other presidential candidates. In 2020, Trump’s performance among the wealthy improved considerably over 2016 (Figure 1). Consider donation rates (Panel a). Among the wealthiest 0.1%, for example, Trump roughly doubled his rate, though he still significantly lagged Biden and Romney. He did even better in per capita dollars (Panel b) than in rates. Open access link to paper: http://cup.org/4cfm0Az

I want to believe Dems in the Senate will block this with the filibuster, but fear they will just write strongly worded letters.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.
