Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

If you divided up Elon's trillion dollar incentive and gave it to people in need, you could give:
Every SNAP recipient $23,809
Everyone using the ACA marketplace $41,152
Every federal worker $333,333

Mainers will decide a ballot measure tomorrow that could restrict mail voting, with an outsize effect on older folks.
“We’re not even a voting rights advocacy organization, but we’ve had to become one,” says the director of the Maine Council on Aging.

A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine
Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots. This would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

New York is a-changin'.
Where are the people?
There’s at least 5,200 people missing from ICE custody
1200 from the Everglades facility and 3000 from Chicago
That’s to say nothing of the people who’ve died. More have died in 9 months than the entire Biden admin
A “shadow deportation network” sounds like a way to expedite disappearing people

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

Taxpayers don’t owe Donald Trump a dime for his legal battles. While he’s trying to get $230 million from the federal government to pay his own lawyers, families across this country are struggling to keep up with grocery bills and rent.

Sirota says that while the United States is now “immersed in corruption” in a way that seems like an inevitable part of politics, it is the result of a decadeslong agenda by the wealthy to deregulate the campaign finance system and to essentially make anti-bribery laws unenforceable.

While making an arrest or conducting a search, ICE MUST present either a signed, judicial warrant to enter private property, or an admin. warrant from the government agency authorizing an arrest or seizure. Spread the word!

Spare us the patronizing 'bless her heart' comments. It took Speaker Johnson less than 24 hours to swear in his Republican colleagues.
He’s stalling because he’s scared of his puppet master Donald Trump.
This delay isn’t about process. It’s about obstruction. #ReleaseTheFiles
