Q: We've heard things like Dems want money for civic engagement in Zimbabwe, millions for LGBTQ grants in Balkans. You say this is about healthcare but how do these pet projects fit in?

I’m reading Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny, and this is the very first lesson, one I deeply, deeply needed to be reminded of in today’s Georgia: nothing is lost until we say so.

Attorney General James Launches Portal to Collect Photos and Videos of ICE Activity in New York

NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James is encouraging New Yorkers to submit videos or other documentation of federal immigration enforcement actions in New York following yesterday’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on Canal Street in New York City.

“Every New Yorker has the right to live without fear or intimidation,” said Attorney General James. “If you witnessed and documented ICE activity yesterday, I urge you to share that footage with my office. We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law. No one should be subject to unlawful questioning, detention, or intimidation.”

Attorney General James is asking New Yorkers to share photos or videos of federal government actions using the Office of the Attorney General’s new online portal.

How conveniently they forget.

A tweet from Really American reads: “BREAKING: In an insane moment, Donald Trump Jr. says... that if his dad wanted to be king, he would never have left office. He tried to stay, Junior. On January 6th.” Below is a news screenshot showing Donald Trump Jr. on one side and a photo of Donald Trump shaking hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the other, with the Fox News chyron: “PRESIDENT TRUMP TRIGGERS THE LEFT.”

He bulldozed the White House during a government shutdown to build himself a ballroom, then sent a letter to the states saying that SNAP benefits for 42 million people may not go out in November to those who rely on it to eat.

“What other choice do we have?”

Faced with rising ACA premiums, some Americans say they plan to drop their coverage and instead put the money into savings — a risky move that underscores how unaffordable health insurance has become for many.

‘It’s only gotten worse’: As ACA premiums are set to climb, some Americans opt to go uninsured

Enhanced subsidies for Obamacare have kept premiums affordable. Absent action from Congress, they will expire at the end of the year.

Can you imagine that this is an ICE recruitment poster?
It’s like “why sit around on your sofa w/your wife nagging you every two minutes when you can sit in comfort in a van big enough for friends? You’ll get a mask, a gun, & your very own “illegal” so you can feel superior & secure in your ride.”
