ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

3/ The Senate keeps voting on 2 bills to reopen.

1. The GOP bill - it raises premiums on 22m Americans and lets Trump keep acting illegally.

2. The Dem bill - it stops the premium increases and checks Trump's illegality.

Each time, neither bill gets the necessary 60 votes.

For context, Democracy Docket first launched a paid membership 18 months ago and already has more than 50,000 paid members (and nearly 500,000 free subscribers).

Yes, the 100k number is only WaPo's print subscribers, but it is still a shocking decline given the interest in democracy and elections.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Me thinks American farmers need to look at French farmers for ideas on getting the government to notice their situation. Dump this years soy bean harvest on every D.C. avenue. Dump manure on the steps of Capitol Hill.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

1.8 million NYC residents rely on SNAP, including 560,000 children.

Donald Trump's new SNAP rules, including draconian "work documentation," are unfathomably cruel and will hurt thousands of New Yorkers and burden taxpayers.

Big changes are coming to SNAP. Thousands in NY risk losing benefits.

The Trump administration sped up the implementation of new work rules for the federal food stamp program.
