Found new information on where my dad's great grandmother was from in Mexico. I caught myself wanting to text him, but then I remembered he died, and I feel the loss all over again.

My family has set off fireworks for the city for over 20+ years. There have been accidents, but never at today's level. Today, three of them were hurt doing it. My uncle singed his mustache and has pieces in his hand and arm because half of a firework exploded in his hand.

Noah Wyle doesn’t just play an ER doctor in the hit HBO series “The Pitt” — he uses his voice to speak up about what will happen if Congress cuts Medicaid.

Watch, then call your Senator at 202-559-1165. Tell them to protect Medicaid and stand up against these cuts!

This is a great breakdown of what happened at the #azleg overnight and why it matters to everyone in Arizona

An update on what happened at 2 a.m. (not a typo) in the Arizona Senate:
As expected, they passed their 16-bill budget plan.

Unexpected: They voted to adjourn the legislative session — even though the House is recessed until Monday and hasn’t voted on this budget plan.

A 🧵 on why this matters:

Trump's rhetoric about deporting dangerous and violent criminals has obviously been bullshit. Now @davidjbier.bsky.social has the receipts to prove it:

*204,297 people booked
*65% w/ no convictions at all
*93% have no violent offenses
*80% of the increase in detention is people with no convictions
65 Percent of People Taken by ICE Had No Convictions, 93 Percent No Violent Convictions
ICE’s deportation agenda is not what is being advertised to the American public. ICE is not interested in prioritizing public safety, yet it constantly pretends that anyone who objects to its tactics ...

The "Arizona Ministry of Communications" sure is a new one. If you get a text from the "Arizona Ministry of Communications" from an iCloud email account, you should ignore it. Also, that admin code isn't even for that. We also don't have tolls. So many red flags
