crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours.

please keep sharing with your networks.

Currently at $330/4500!
That will cover the increase in her mortgage payment and her new health insurance premium this month!

If we can raise another $160, that would cover her new heart medication ♥️
More details in the slides but the gist is that her monthly expenses went up by 35%, leaving her all of $250 for utilities, food, car maintenance, and every single other thing.

On top of this, she owes $2700 in escrow due to rising taxes and insurance costs.

Ask: $4500

Thread from an attorney whose firm has been doing pro bono immigration work. Read the whole thing
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Every new thing I read about these chuckle-knobs is more jaw-droppingly horrifying.
Dan Lamothe (Wash Post military affairs corres.) says the Pentagon temporarily loaned a cutting-edge laser weapon to Customs and Border Protection who shot it at something innocuous, probably a mylar balloon.

But, CBP/DOD etc. didn't coordinate the use with FAA.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Following this incident I followed up with Mayor Frey to ask for more information about what had happened. His chief of staff confirmed that the Mayor and his administration had a meeting with border czar Tom Homan. I assume the ICE vehicles outside were part of Homan’s convoy.

As soon as I heard about this i was like "so...GoodRX?" and apparently that is basically what's going on, except it's the shitty partial knock off that only covers 43 drugs, and no generics. So... he's just duping people to give MORE money to big drug companies and him. Perfect, no notes. 😒
Hey so trumprx actually went live and it's got the same cost savings as goodrx. Exactly the same. However it's worse because it doesn't include generics. Generic protonix is about $6.

This literally does nothing. What a joke.

“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Hey Chuck, I know the Baileys. They are solidly on board with abolishing ICE at this point. Eileen is driving her friend Luisa's mom to chemo and calls me up to say she's just aghast at how scared she is.
