We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol.
Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists.

Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority of Venezuelans Sent to Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted of U.S. Crimes
Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration laws.

Food thoughts w/ @robertomacias.bsky.social: BBQ spots really have us paying $$$ to play at scarcity-long lines in the elements, nervously watching folks ahead of you knowing each 1/2 lb ordered means less/no food for you, & letting whatever’s left determine your meal. Still 💜 good brisket though.

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

If Republicans make massive cuts to Medicaid, it will impact all aspects of our health care system. Millions of kids will lose coverage, hospital and insurance rates will soar and nursing homes will shut down.
All this in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Important info regarding the Trump administration’s use of the FBI to investigate/interrogate a grant program for clean energy projects and its employees
The Trump administration has launched an FBI investigation into a $20 billion grant program for clean energy projects established under the Biden administration. These funds, managed by the EPA, were intended to support climate initiatives, particularly in low-income communities.

There are now 955 cases & 60 deaths from an unknown illness in DRC (links below). As this outbreak is growing, CDC is not permitted to exchange information with WHO and USAID outbreak response support is banned. Yesterday the Supreme court “paused” a federal judge order for USAID payments to resume.
