Btw, blanket statement for future stories — “sHe sHouLd hAvE eXpeCteD tHiS” is not a legitimate reason to dismiss someone’s experience with the consequences of an abortion ban.

The shutdown is already impacting delivery of nutrition aid to low-income moms and babies.

Trump officials said tariff revenue would fund WIC until the government reopens, but the money hasn’t started flowing yet.

States left in the dark on food aid despite Trump’s promise of tariff funds

The shutdown is already interrupting benefits for low-income moms and babies — and agencies don’t know when the next check is coming.

A lot going on here, but a religion note: DHS Assistant Sec. Tricia McLaughlin refers to Rev. Black as a "pastor" here — using quotation marks.

It's a notable slight against a faith leader's status, as Black is, in fact, an ordained minister of a church operating within the Presbytery of Chicago.

This footage is from almost a month ago. What this clipped video doesn’t show is that these agitators were blocking an ICE vehicle from leaving the federal facility—impeding operations.

Over and over again, law enforcement ordered these agitators to move off of federal property so the vehicle could move. Law enforcement verbally warned these agitators that they would use force if they did not move and stop impeding operations. They did not comply.

Shortly after, rioters began throwing rocks, bottles and launching fireworks at the law enforcement officers on the roof.

At the time of this incident, this facility held criminal illegal aliens including gang members, drug traffickers, and other violent criminals. Obstructing law enforcement puts officers, detainees and the public at risk. If you are obstructing law enforcement you can expect to be met with force.

And, as an aside, this is the same “pastor” who flipped
@Sec_Noem
and our team the bird when we were there last week.

Seems bad

Tweet on X from Craig Fuller, an expert on the freight industry, that says: For those that follow me for macro economic intel.

The excitement in trucking is not related to the macro economic story, it is a capacity one (low quality operators getting shut down).

The macro economic story is bad. Trucking volumes are down 18% YoY and continue to weaken.

Not a good sign for the sectors that are dependent upon trucking: manufacturing, housing, auto, energy, ag, and retail (basically, the main street economy).

The OTVI chart measures the volume of truckload orders in the economy, an indication of macro economic demand.

It is anemic and moving to some of the lowest levels we've ever measured (earliest date is 2018).

Jack has covered political topics related to religion a lot in the last few years! The two topics have become inextricably linked over the past decade, but to your point, many mainstream outlets either missed that or just chose to ignore it.
