US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she β€œdoesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

For the DOJ, it’s like having to defend a criminal suspect that keeps calling press conferences to brag about their crimes.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

Trump Administration Highlights: Judge Orders Halt on Deportations of Venezuelans Under Wartime Law (Gift Article)

Legal β€˜Sky can correct me, but this is the most important immigration case so far. If Trump prevails, he could eventually deport any non-citizen at will, by asserting that they are part of an β€œenemy at war” with the US. And he gets to decide what those words mean.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

Kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
Be kind, always.

Gutting Alzheimer's research.

First reported more than a week ago -- and as yet, this has not been undone. Republicans appear to have not said a word about it.

Alaskans say Medicaid cuts considered by US House could be β€˜catastrophic’ State lawmakers said the reconciliation process could lead to a loss of $1 billion in federal funding for Alaska’s Medicaid program.

"Frank traveled this month to DC to speak with Alaska’s congressional delegation... she said she was well received by Begich.

β€œHe assured that he 100% backed us on fighting to not have any cuts to Medicaid,” said Frank. Now, she said she feels betrayed by his vote..."
