Corruption right in front of your eyes:
1) Bennet says he wants universal healthcare.
2) DaVita drops $50K into his Super PAC.
3) Suddenly Bennet claims he “can’t do anything” on healthcare as Governor.
This is what bought-and-paid-for politics looks like.

City and state leaders need a real rapid response plan for ICE presence in our communities.
"Executing a search warrant" yet pepperspraying observers and kidnapping workers.
We can't trust what they say. We have to recognize what these operations look like and act accordingly.

Possibly diffusing now a bit. Or at least officers are dispersing somewhat.
Folks have been told if they cross the tape they will be arrested. Have not seen any local law enforcement on site, FWIW (someone asked in replies)

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

This was done at the direction of Pam Bondi. The US government is now dictating what apps you can have on your phone.
The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

It's hard to adequately summarize how destructive NOAA's 2026 proposed budget released on Monday is for hurricane forecasting, but I crammed all I could into today's newsletter. I encourage everyone with interests along the coast to read it carefully. ⬇️
