NEW — I wrote about Beker Rengifo, a Montana resident from Venezuela who was taken by ICE on Thursday after a routine traffic stop, and how local law enforcement is working with the feds to ensnare people with legal status.

Unofficially there’s word folks are heading to the MKE Federal Building/Courthouse (517 E Wisconsin Ave) as of 10:30am today. It’s always best to exercise caution and go with a trusted friend/comrade, if you’re able!

What is the cost to taxpayers of this strategy of ignoring the law, being sued, losing, and then backtracking the illegal policy?

Mmmmmmmm if DoD is truly now unilaterally operating deportation flights without any DHS involvement (and this isn't just more attempts by DoJ to get sanctioned for lying) then that is a) extremely newsworthy and b) something several USAF GOs should get hauled up to the Hill to be yelled at about

If six months ago you'd told me that in autumn 2025 I'd have to go to Canada to get my annual COVID vaccine but I wouldn't do it because coming back through immigrations was too risky for someone who had criticized the government, I would have looked at you like you were having a stroke.

This, to me, is the most obvious messaging opportunity ever for Democrats. Chuck Schumer should be on the ground in Arkansas within 24 hours and Democrats in both houses of Congress should be filing measures to provide federal funds to assist in recovery efforts. Force Republicans to say no.

288 people have been rendered to El Salvador’s mega-prison. We only know 257 of their names—and not because the US or Salvadoran governments shared them. It shouldn't be up to civil society to compile things like this table. Of course, none of this should be happening at all. See admis.me/b/2un

So basically our core biomedical agenda has gone from cancer and heart disease research with major investments in alzheimers/dementia research to jacking up the sperm count of teenage males and a new wild goose for the 'hidden causes' of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Oh, so jacking up grocery prices, crashing the stock market, threatening to slash Medicaid & SNAP, and slapping on ridiculous tariffs wasn’t enough? Now Trump’s coming for your paycheck and your tax refund—just because you fell behind on student loans during a pandemic.

When I met with Mohsen Mahdawi today, we spoke about how appreciative he is to have the support of so many people in Vermont. He said one of the reasons he wanted to become a citizen was because of his belief in American democracy. He hopes that justice will prevail in his case.
