@timmiller.bsky.social You asked for stories that are not making national news about ICE and immigration detentions. Here is a story for you from rural Ohio.

If true, this is enormously important.
Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports.

A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

Republicans are pulling a reverse Robin Hood. The House could vote on its new budget resolution as soon as tomorrow. Call your rep to let them know how you feel about the GOP's plan to gut programs used by millions to fund tax cuts that will predominantly go to the richest Americans. (202) 224-3121

Trump's FTC chair Andrew Ferguson, whose first act was to "end DEI" at the agency, has shut down public comments on predatory pricing and other shady corporate tactics.

Republicans and Trump's nominees are pushing for Medicaid work requirements.
They think people are mooching off the system.

But 64% of people on Medicaid already have a job. Most others that don't have a valid reason.

It's a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist.

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy.

Or in prison.

Not the Secretary of Defense.

The same people having a temper tantrum over DEI just confirmed the least qualified Secretary of Defense in US history because Trump liked him on TV.

I feel sick to my stomach watching this Senate hearing for Secretary of Defense. Pete Hegseth is the slimmest person I have ever seen put forward for this position.
