She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

This is the FIFTH ICE flight out of Chicago in less than week, per tracking by @jjindc.bsky.social.. (2 GlobalX, 3 Avelo)
Never seen that many stops to one city in a week. My guess, they’ve extracted all the overcrowding-induced “voluntary” deports they’re gonna get, so now they’re moving out.

Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:
