Unacceptable.
Days after the Ruidoso, Texas, and Chicago floods the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) did not answer nearly ⅔ of calls to its disaster assistance line
The fails comes after the agency fired hundreds of contractors at FEMA call centers on July 5th

Rep Gomez keeps getting denied access to inspect the Roybal Federal Building in LA. Looks like he has gone every day.
Back at the Roybal Federal Building this Monday to check in on migrant families reportedly held in inhumane basement conditions, still denied access to attorneys. Also checking on my friend & union leader David Huerta, tased & arrested for peacefully protesting. We’re not stopping.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Food stamps or SNAP is spent by families on food in their local grocery store - building their local economy. Supporting jobs for other people.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Fascinating and very relevant. 🧵History echoes it does not repeat.
I requested my great grandfather’s alien enemy file from the National Records Archive. 300ish pages arrived in parts. Some is just paperwork- immigration forms, the alien enemy questionnaire, etc. Parts feel too personal to share here- letters from his young daughters, pleading for his release.

The Texas suburbs have been at the forefront of many of the culture wars. A sign of pushback?
RESULT: Voters in Mansfield, Texas, have ousted three conservative members of their local school board tonight.
This is a school board that has been at the frontlines of book-banning in Texas, as you can see here: fortworthreport.org/2025/03/19/m...

Let me see if I have this right. A rogue government agency that has no Congressional approval or oversight, created by an unelected billionaire, says it has to approve every farm loan over $500,000?
This is absolutely ridiculous. (1/2)

The tour of embarrassment continues for jd at the Vatican. Incredibly satisfying news to add to the images of ordinary ppl around the world again taking to streets for mutual aid and resistance against fascists.

Yes! Manufacturers were investing in the U.S.! Foreign companies too! They were even setting up new U.S. based subsidiaries. In so many communities represented by Republicans. They showed up to celebrate all the new jobs and are silent now. Call Congress tomorrow!
1/ Just as a reminder, we WERE onshoring a bunch of manufacturing jobs, thanks to the CHIPS and IRA acts. Those jobs were spread around the country, many/most in red districts.
