My name is Angela Crawford.

I went through 3 years of infertility. Because I went through so much pain I needed as much good to come from that experience as possible.

I started an Infertility support group.

This is my story.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

There is no good reason why Gov Janet Mills is running against him for the Democrat Senate primary in Maine.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 19h

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

The hottest thing about me is that I bought my first house when I was 22 years old, graduated college debt free, and pay my credit cards off every month.

I would take out a personal loan or get a 0% introductory rate credit card.

The time I would get back would have it paid off within a year.

Finding out that Arkansas has mandated infertility coverage since 1987 was not something I expected.

It's the worst possible comfort, but it is still a comfort.

Talk to an a-political or conservatives right now and they do not like this nor do they want to talk about it.

"The beatings will continue until morale improves" is quite the tactic for the party at risk for the midterms.

When it comes out that he's a bonafide rapist in the files, I don't think even Fox News can spin it.

Every time one more thing leaks, more and more people are ready to turn on him.

We had a mass shooting at the CDC months ago.

This institution will take a generation to fully recover.

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.”
Among those RIFd:
—leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases;
—leadership of global health center
—leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

Mike Johnson could end this. He could swear in Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07), they could discharge and release the Epstein files, the public would finally have irrefutable evidence that Trump is a child rapist and we could impeach him.

We could impeach him.

We could restore Medicaid and impeach him.

So many people are going to die this winter due to COVID and flu.

We won't even know it though, because the CDC won't have the people in place to report it, nor would they because Trump won't allow it.
