ICE detained Katie, a British woman in the final stages of her green card process, while she was holding her 6 month old son.

She’s married to an American and was following the process, yet at her last immigration meeting they grabbed her.

Of course they did… the Epstein Class

Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”

For the love of God & all Her works can ppl stop making jokes about child abuse & Trump/Epstein? Show some empathy with survivors you ghouls.

Also NYT, ‘young women’ is not a synonym for girls. Stop normalising child abuse.

If they aren't representing you, you shouldn't vote for them.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

This is very confusing, but in short:
1) For the most part working families are receiving food stamps in Democratic states, but not Republican states.
2) Trump is not just trying everything possible to stop food stamps in general, they are trying to prevent Democratic states from helping their own.
Breaking News: The Trump administration told states to undo any steps to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, threatening financial penalties if the states do not comply. It was unclear how that would affect the program.
