Colleagues in peer organizations are reporting big turnout for Medicaid (and other anti-Trump-policy) town halls across the country. A town hall in Coon Valley, WI (pop. 700) turned out 30 people — 5% of the town population. People are hungry. I'm grateful for Bernie.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Along with voting for 7 Trump picks, Rosen was one of 12 Senate Democrats to vote for the Laken Riley Act — which empowers Trump's ICE to detain migrants with no due process. All the more relevant as Trump sends migrants to detention camps in Guantanamo with no due process.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

You can partially thank Biden for this outright lie, as his admin in June stopped requiring Border Patrol to ask migrants if they were seeking asylum and record the answer during the arrest process. The minute that change happened, Border Patrol agents just started ignoring people’s cries for help.

NEW: NSF confirmed that they fired 168 employees today, out of their staff of ~1,500 feds. This includes some people who'd finished their 1-year probationary periods, which were extended to 2-years last month without explanation. More to come.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.
