We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

Crucially, the mother missed the hearing in 2018 because she was a child at the time, and it was her mother’s failure to bring her to the hearing which led to the deportation order. This is depressingly common.

“Secretary Rollins is taking a blowtorch to a landmark rule that shields almost 60 million acres of national forests from the serious impacts roads can have, not only on wildlife and their habitats but also on the nation’s drinking water sources” -Vera Smith, @defenders.org

The Trump administration said that it would open up 58 million acres of back country in national forests to road construction and development, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century.

The National Park Service is already underfunded and understaffed. To put its budget on the chopping block as we continue to see a rise in visitors at parks across the county is reckless and thoughtless. It's the worst idea for "America's Best Idea."

Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures. 🧵 1/17

This doesn't even express the extent of the damage. "The bureaus that will absorb the awards are facing significant cuts too, and employees have expressed concern that they simply do not have the staff, resources or expertise to run them. They plan to terminate more awards and to let others expire."

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Phasing out NIH’s HIV clinical guidelines is flat-out immoral and unethical. These guidelines drive early diagnosis, ART initiation, and viral suppression—82% linked to care within 30 days, 69% virally suppressed by 6 months. Removing them puts millions of lives at risk. wapo.st/3FQovhf

President Trump and Republicans’ massive tax legislation would force the government to undo billions of dollars in electric vehicle investments made by the U.S. Postal Service. This would mean auctioning off nearly 7,200 brand-new postal EVs.

If this is going to cost USPS trillions, why does the GOP say it will save money? Bec USPS’s budget is separate from the federal budget. So this would deprive USPS of vehicles it desperately needs while passing costs from taxpayers on to postal rate payers. Postal rate payers = mostly everyone

Got an email from a buddy this morning that brought me up short, asking if it was time for people to start hiding immigrants who risk deportation. My initial reaction was, No. We're not in Anne Frank territory. But the more I thought about it, I had questions . . .

I have obtained new nonpublic data from ICE that shows that 2/3 of the people it had booked into detention facilities this fiscal year had no criminal convictions at all. Less than 7% have violent convictions. Most convictions were for immigration, traffic, and vice offenses.

I wish media would provide income range amounts for "richest," "poorest," top x percent, bottom x percent, deciles, etc. in all these OBBB impact charts they generate. I think it would be more meaningful to folks.

If you can see this tweet you need to push back hard on the Republican Party’s Big lie 2.0 which is that Joe Biden let all the illegals in. It was George W Bush and the number has stayed pretty constant since 2005.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

BREAKING @prri.org poll.
