"We had run almost 1,000 simulations, and between $3 and $4 is a fair number if you can have access to that food. I just saw new numbers that were run: a full day, meaning 3 full square meals and a snack, is about $15.64."

We need to hear from anyone who has info about Epstein's crimes. Ghislaine Maxwell, who participated in Epstein's crimes against women and girls, has direct knowledge yet the GOP has shielded her for months.

POLICE CHIEF: “If it’s happening to our officers, it pains me to think how many of our community members are falling victim to this every day.”
ICE is even racially profiling off-duty Black & Brown cops— including pulling guns on one and knocking her phone out of her hand.

ATTORNEY: "Don't push me! Why are you trying to pick them up?"
ICE GOON: "It's none of your business!"
ATTORNEY: "It is my business—I'm their attorney. It's EXACTLY my business!"
They give up and leave 😭

NIDDK budget appears to be cut because there is a separate fund for diabetes, elsewhere in the bill.
NINDS budget is increased because of funds transferred from the Office of the Director (OD) for ALS, Alzheimer's.
NIEHS seems like a real cut.
OD cut is related to NINDS.

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

Senator Chris Van Hollen is also a No on the DHS funding deal, his spox confirms to me.
My statement on funding DHS:
The proposed Appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security released today puts no meaningful constraints on the growing lawlessness of ICE, and increases funding for detention over the last Appropriations bill passed in 2024.

Today I talked with police chiefs from across the metro area. This isn’t just happening in Mpls and St. Paul. The 3000 ICE agents are in the suburbs and across our state. The surge is disrupting the work of local law enforcement.
