Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

Hi @congressmanraja.bsky.social I know you are running for the seat being vacated by @durbin.senate.gov, I would like to know your thoughts on the current senators vote to reopen the govt and if you would publicly call for the removal of @schumer.senate.gov from Senate leadership.

Thanks for selling out the republic @durbin.senate.gov, this is your legacy. You will be remembered as one who gave in, a stain on your name
Under Schumer's leadership, eight Democrats (Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Hassan, Kaine, King, Rosen, & Shaheen) joined the Republicans in moving forward a bill to reopen the government without ACA subsidies—Dems' stated key aim—or any other real concessions from the status before the shutdown.

This is horrifying. I'll say it again, abolish ICE is the moderate position. Dem leaders and representatives like my own @quigley.house.gov whos district this happened in, need to start making this priority clear now.
Getting new details on this now:
As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.
The arrest reportedly took place in front of children.

Getting dunked on pretty hard in the comments. It's because people understand the tax tricks people like Mark use to make sure they will NEVER pay their fair share. I don't care if it's assets/stock/whatever, a "billionaire" should never exist..on paper, in the bank, doesn't matter
I’m not opposed to a windfall tax when someone makes 1 billion dollars in taxable income in a year.
I believe Billionaires should pay a higher tax. If you make over a billion dollars, then would need to pay 50% tax, if you make 2 billion dollars, tax should be 60%. And companies shouldn't be able to buy back stocks or at least limit it.

Called one of the Chicago numbers, on hold for about 90 sec and spoke to a nice lady letting her know that I think the governor should remove the ISP from the Broadview facility and he needs to make a statement about not adding ICE operations. Seemed like she's been hearing this a lot. Make the call

This guy out here still talking about healthcare?? My guy, they are unlawfully deploying troops to our cities, arresting protesters at ICE factories, and arresting the presidents "enemies", while I agree healthcare is important, some things right now are a bit more pressing
The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.
Here’s a thought.
Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.
