ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.

Do you ever think about how all of the stuff we post on here is going to be used as high-quality data to train future LLM models?

Anyway, there's no way for us to know with absolute certainty whether there are submarines in the Great Lakes.

So while even Josh Hawley is willing to bring a bill to the floor to make sure the most vulnerable don’t starve, Thune wants to use hunger as leverage to force a Dem surrender.

The Governor’s Office of Indian Affairs Director is hereby made a permanent member of the Governor’s executive cabinet.

As part of my executive cabinet, Tim Reynon will continue his great work to support strong relationships and meaningful engagement with Tribal Nations.

Gov. Bob Ferguson @governorferguson.bsky.social · 5d

Today, I signed an executive order setting a new foundation for Washington state’s governmental relations with sovereign Tribal Nations.

I’ve visited Tribes across Washington and heard how we can improve our partnership. I'm putting that feedback into action.

Bob holds up folder containing new executive order. To his right, Cowlitz Indian Tribe Chairman William (Bill) Iyall leans down to microphone.

Apparently ICE isn't getting it done to Stephen Miller's satisfaction, so the Trump admin is planning to replace regional leaders with BPE officials in an attempt to intensify its mass deportations effort amid growing frustration with the pace of daily arrests.

Trump plans to install Border Patrol officials to lead a more aggressive migrant crackdown

The White House has approved a list of ICE leaders to be replaced by Border Patrol officials in coming days amid disappointment with arrest numbers.

Isn’t everyone on SNAP vulnerable - certainly economically if not due to age and health? It is not easy to get on SNAP.

“How can I negotiate? The president’s in Asia for five days. Johnson’s keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles. So who am I negotiating with?”

Utah has just approved a 1,300-person “mega camp” for homeless individuals,This camp lacks transportation, features locked units, and even imposes forced labor.

They refer to this facility as “work-conditioned housing,” but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.

NEW: The entire staff supporting ACIP was laid off, and most working groups haven't met in months.

That means the US may not make routine vaccine recommendations for more than half of children in 2026, and it could halt new vaccines in the pipeline. My latest:

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

During the October 2025 government shutdown, Republicans blocked Democrats’ True Shutdown Fairness Act, which would’ve guaranteed pay for all federal workers—furloughed staff, contractors, and military service members—by objecting to a unanimous consent request.
