Voter data being demanded!

Marco Foster @marcofoster.bsky.social · 1d

JB Pritzker: “Another thing that’s happened with very few people paying attention is they demanded our voter data. Not just ours in Illinois — every state’s voter data. Why? They won’t tell us why.”

More than 5,000 federal employees have received layoff notices. We’re working to ensure that the administration isn’t using state voter rolls to target registered Democrats for termination. More details soon.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating.

Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!

PA’s diversity is our strength. We’re proud to be home to over 1.2M Hispanic-Americans, making every community more vibrant for it.

The Latino community is strong, and our administration is committed to providing everyone the opportunity to live, work, & grow here – because we’re stronger together.

A storm approaching the Bering Sea is expected to hit Alaska’s western coast and is shaping up to be more powerful than the system that flooded coastal communities like Kotzebue and Kivalina this week, forecasters say. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

Weekend storm could bring flooding, 100 mph winds to Western Alaska coast

The National Weather Service said it was likely to be more powerful than a storm that days before had brought high winds and flooding to some coastal communities.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
