A federal judge ruled that federal agents have to scale back the warrantless arrests of immigrants that have been happening in D.C.
“They’ve been roaming around arresting people who appear Latino without any regard of who they are," says an attorney.

My impact as a parent.
My son wore a Josh Allen jersey his grandfather gave him to school. (Rochester is deep Bills country.) We got multiple “Go Bills!” greetings that day. Meanwhile, the only sport we watch in our household is women’s soccer (NWSL). Like, my son was baffled when we told him men play pro soccer too.

I want statehood for DC and their soccer teams to lose in perpetuity. Such is America
44 - The 2025 #NWSLChampionship between Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will be the 44th meeting between the teams in all competitions, surpassing Seattle vs. Portland as the most played fixture between two #NWSL teams. Ultimate.

Reports of the death of the bachelor’s degree have been greatly exaggerated. Enrollment is near pre-pandemic levels, real tuition is flat or down, and the college wage premium remains high.
I explore how the narrative became disconnected from the data.

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”
Families "horrified" after daycare teacher pulled out of school by federal agents.

I love that everyone from churches to child care to my local pizza joint and cocktail bar are stepping up in response to the SNAP shutdown crisis, and it remains BS that they are being forced to do so. Every "heartwarming" story has a foundation of government failure.

No way this is a probability sample. I guarantee by the over-representation of Reese’s that this researcher employed a purposive sampling methodology.
And we have now progressed from data analysis to policy recommendations.
I told her that we'd calculate the cash value of her candy haul, that I'd ask her to raid her piggy bank and donate 1/3 the candy cash value to a local food bank, and that I'd add on a 5X match.

Today I showed my son a picture from 2008, and he said “why are your eyes red? You look like zombies!” He’d never seen red eye before.
