Our first Christmas we were broke newlyweds with twin babies. I told my ex I'd be fine with a box of face tea from grocery store, Hershey bar, etc but really wanted a surprise to unwrap. He got me NOTHING. Next day on lunch from work, grabbed a friend n bought jewelry. Still not sorry

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

There will be paid agitators out there. Some will be there free, just to feed their bigoted bloodlust.

Many of them will be posing as True Resistors.

Don't take the bait.

10M adults on ACA plans are self-employed or small business owners and employees.

A restaurant owner in Virginia could see his monthly premium double, shooting up to $1400 a month.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities – and Republicans are shafting them. Hello?

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
