I believe this is a reference to the bill that funds everything but DHS, and severs DHS from the six-bill funding package. We need it to pass to get the leverage to defund ICE with the Sanders amendment. Just FYI.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Good investing is an exercise in humility: We know far less about history than we believe, even less about the world right now than we imagine, and almost nothing about the future.

A man smelling of liquor and weed sat next to a priest on a bus. The man’s clothes were ragged and dirty, there was pink lipstick on his collar, and an almost empty bottle of rum stuck out of his pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading.

It looks like the Trump regime is trying to hide ICE flights from the public tracker.

😮 HIDING ICE FLIGHTS: ICE charter flights by GlobalX have been removed from many flight trackers, and given the call sign TYSON --previously associated w/ Secret Service and a B52 bomber squadron. Tracked by tail number, here is TYSON41 which departed Texas en route to a destination South America:

Eastern Air Express, another ICE charter operator, really doesn’t want you tracking their planes online. They’ve requested blocks from almost every tracking system. Challenge accepted! This “hidden” aircraft just completed a round trip from Miami to Haiti 👀

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Tomorrow evening, I am hosting a live, in-person interview with author Michael Lewis, discussing ANYTHING & EVERYTHING: His new book ("Who is Government?"), his prior writings, films, the state of the world -- anything goes. What questions should I ask him???

James Surowiecki figured out the tariff rates: It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers.

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night. Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar. I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below. What an immense loss

Stating the obvious: tariffs are a regressive tax on the poorest Americans. A company pays the tariff, and raises their prices to get that money. That price is paid by the consumer. Duh
