"Immigration enforcement operation"? With all that military equipment in an empty park? More like an expensive photo op.
Found the fraud, waste & abuse!
Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

1000% Mike Moyle & the IFF's fault. They were told many times during the session that State revenues were down, that federal funds to the State were being cut, & that they should proceed cautiously - dare I say conservatively - with tax cuts. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I know my colleagues already dropped this line (h/t: @brendanvduke.bsky.social ), but it bears repeating - there already exists a rural hospital fund and it is called:

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

The abuser’s classic playbook is to isolate you from your friends, create a sense of helplessness, make it difficult to connect with others and force you to simply think about your survival from one day to the next. We are seeing that playbook applied to the nation as a whole.

Strike times are classified as top secret. The Defense Secretary's recklessness and incompetence could have compromised the mission and further endangered lives.

Secretary Hegseth has got to go.

This moment in our country's history is depressing, but it's also illuminating. We're finding out, in real time, whom among those in power will hedge their bets, trade complicity for personal preservation, and retreat into cowardice in the hopes they'll be spared.

And we will remember their names.

Idaho Legislature to renters: WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU.

The House Business Committee killed a bill (S1042) that would provide reasonable consumer protection from excessive rental application fees.

Here's my debate against a motion to kill the bill. #idpol #idleg

WHY DID I VOTE AGAINST A "FREE SPEECH" BILL? When there's more to it than meets the eye.

The 2025 session has been pock-marked with bad bills with good-sounding titles.

I cast my votes based on a bill's content, not what the title wants you to think it is.
