Undocumented immigrants paid $100 billion in taxes in 2022. It would cost $300 billion to deport them all. They're here, they're working, they're contributing. Give them a pathway to citizenship.

The Trump admin and their allies are trying to turn workers against each other as they gut our health care and essential services. Workers are not pawns in their political games.

Crockett: You have a president who consistently is obsessing over two women of color that are members of the house, I don't know what black woman hurt him in his past, honey, but it is really taking him through it.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Federal workers have worked without pay for a month. Rent and other bills are due. Insurance costs are about to double. Construction jobs are being cut.

President Trump: stop inflicting pain on workers.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.

Just to be clear who’s to blame for SNAP cutoff:

1. Trump admin claims that a $5B emergency fund can’t be used for it.

2. Thune said Trump wants to use SNAP cutoff as leverage.

3. 22 Dem states filed a lawsuit about it.

4. Dems willing to join many Rs for SNAP bill but Thune is blocking vote.

NBA media is not built to cover a gambling scandal, but Defector is: defector.com/products

When the FBI arrested Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups, the basketball-watching public turned to sports media to help make sense of the story. What explanations were on offer?

Before disclosing its own BetMGM partnership, The Athletic called “all of sports” complicit in the scandal. Bill Simmons dismissed the episode as ”a couple bad apples,” growing pains typical of a growth industry. Zach Lowe had ESPN's betting guy on his podcast; together they concluded that these issues can be tinkered out of existence by limiting prop bets and changing how teams report injuries. Lowe's podcast, like Simmons's, began with a FanDuel ad.

The takeover of sports media by gambling companies imposes hard boundaries on the domain of these conversations. Most importantly, these captured discussions always obscure the social and political choices that enable the gambling industry to entrench itself.

Allowing people to gamble on their phones and allowing sports gambling companies to spend untold sums on lobbying and advertising are choices. These choices, not some law of nature, are why millions of people have started gambling in recent years. Likewise, other sports media companies have chosen to offer up their audiences as prey to gambling outfits.

Defector has chosen something else: We never have and never will take money from gambling companies. Subscribers fund our operations, which allows us to remain independent, critical, and uncompromised. Consider making that choice.

Not sure I’d say “sudden surge” I mean Military City, USA has no paychecks. 🤔 appreciate your list though, I’d reconsider that line

A sudden surge in hunger is hitting the local community as SNAP benefits are frozen and the federal government shut down continues. TPR has compiled a resource list of area organizations providing meals and support.

Us poor already have deep scars so you’re welcome to catch up with me and share some love after mourning the loss of “stuff”. Yes it will be hard but you are not alone so find your community, protect the vulnerable and organize. Together we lighten the burden of others. ❤️

I’m not a fan of any board that sits so high up there in judgement. I wish this style of meeting rooms would go away for library boards. Meet people who are interested in libraries..eye to eye! Not AI!
