"Despite Trump officially activating FEMA on Sunday, FEMA has just 86 total staff deployed at this point [to Texas], according to figures shared with staff Monday evening...In the past it would normally be in the several hundreds at this point in the disaster recovery process."

My latest:

FEMA response to deadly Texas floods delayed & deficient with Noem in charge

Staffers sound the alarm.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

“Is there any sign of life?”
“Have we heard a heartbeat?”
“Does she feel any kicking?”
“We don’t have the equipment to do that.”

That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 97 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

For generations, if you came on a visa and applied for asylum, you would generally not be arrested even if your visa expired during the process. That’s over now. They’re arresting everyone, even people who have done legitimately nothing wrong.

What a terrible, awful, inhumane, cruel policy.

NEW: As a result of my story, a lawyer from the lawsuit—the settlement of which resulted in the now-rescinded ICE warrantless arrest accountability policy—has filed notice for judge to urgently “resolve the pending motions regarding enforcement and extension of the consent decree.”
