On Monday, a 15-year-old boy with disabilities was detained by ICE outside a Los Angeles Unified School District high school at 9:30 am when he was registering for classes.

He was only released after both school staff and the Los Angeles Police Department intervened.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Remember a few years back when Elon Musk promised he'd donate $6 billion to end world hunger?

Now he's pulling *our taxpayer funds* that were dedicated to fighting world hunger.

During a GOP town hall at Coeur d'Alene High School, Teresa Borrenpohl called out, “Is this a lecture or a town hall?” Witnesses said three unidentified men, who were not wearing badges or ID, then physically removed from her seat by order of the Idaho county sheriff.

I've seen national political writers, TV and movie podcasters, and random friends all posting about a hockey game tonight. The fights, silly as they were, blew up on social media. That drew the eyeballs. The intensity and pace of the play held onto them. This is what "growing the game" looks like.

My dad worked for USAID for over 20 years. He oversaw infrastructure and agriculture programs. What’s been done to the agency is unconscionable. The immediate cessation of programs will harm and even kill people. Diplomacy is always cheaper than military operations. This makes us less safe.

JFC!

These boys are the tech bros Muskrat has used to hack into our government data bases at treasury, USAID, Social Security & more!

If you're on Social Security, these hackers now have your personal records

And since Trump³⁴ can pardon them, what legal remedies do we have?

Outrageous!

The GOP wants to eliminate the "head of household" tax filing status, impacting single parents. This change could generate $200 billion in extra taxes, contradicting their claims of family support. Most definitely unfair, deplorable, despicable, etc!

Musk is unelected and hasn’t been confirmed by the Senate to any official position. His aides are not government employees.

What the hell is going on here? Oligarchy is a big understatement at this point.

To recap, Trump:

-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI

This is disastrous leadership.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.
