"It doesn’t make any sense. These are the people that were brought to the U.S. by the U.S. armed forces. They did not come to the U.S. illegally. They did not go across Mexico and then try to enter the United States. So, why attack this group? It's simply inexplicable."

A former Afghan National Army soldier applying for asylum in the U.S. was arrested by federal immigration agents at his Houston-area home, according to his attorney, who said the man and most of his family are being threatened with deportation.
Former Afghan soldier arrested at Houston-area home by ICE, stripped of asylum protections, attorney says
The soldier is one of at least 20,000 Afghans seeking asylum nationwide, having fled Afghanistan after aiding the U.S. military during the two-decades-long war there.

"This is really not that functionally different than if those guests showed up with satchels of cash or briefcases with stacks of bill and then just dumped it all into a big bucket physically held by the President of the United States," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Trump's crypto dinner.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears.
Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.
They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.
This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

Children belong with family and in safe communities.
Using “wellness checks” as a pretext to locate, interrogate, and deport children and families is deceitful and cruel and must end.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.
