Immigration is good, actually
Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

He shouldn't pretend body cams are a real concession. He should follow the example of Van Hollen, whose visit to Kilmar Abrego Garcia was instrumental in triggering a national shift on attitudes toward Trump immigration actions. I could list more, but those are a few of the things he could do. [4/4]

He should be creating a list of planned facilities (which are extremely unpopular with most Americans) and encouraging candidates to fight them. Localities are already succeeding at this. Where they can't succeed, they're finding clever ways to punish contractors who collaborate with them. [3/4]

The country is furious about what's going on. 86% of Ds and 47% of independents nationwide support *abolishing* ICE. He should offer a vision of how ICE & CBP can be fundamentally diminished or dismantled, even if he can't do it today. Creating a road map generates pressure and possibilities. [2/4]

Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

Only 10 cases of Guinea worm disease were recorded *globally* last year.

It may become the second human disease we eradicate, after smallpox.

New from Miranda Williamson: The world’s largest artificial intelligence data center complex is being built in Amarillo, and it’s almost seven times the size of Central Park.
The Texas AI Boom is Outpacing Water Regulations
Each data center can “drink” as much as an entire community. Yet, Texas does not require these tech firms to disclose projected or actual water consumption.

BREAKING: We're calling on the U.N. to investigate the Trump administration's violations of human rights in Minnesota.

The U.S. government must be held accountable for blatantly defying international law as ICE ignores the freedoms our country is obligated to uphold.
