Hush, hush, don’t dare to look around,
Hush, hush, Congress has split town.
We see a failure of leadership,

DHS Is Billing Unaccompanied Immigrant Kids $5,000 The Trump administration is slapping teenagers in federal custody with fees for crossing the border under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

"The notices state that “Payment in full is due now” & list an array of potential consequences for failure to pay, including collection litigation & negative impacts on their immigration cases. Fines that aren’t paid in full will accrue interest."

Children in detention can't work. And are CHILDREN.

A bar chart with horizontal stacked bars in maroon and gold showing that most Americans see news they think is inaccurate, and about half say it’s tough to know what is true

Nine-in-ten U.S. adults say they at least sometimes come across news they think is inaccurate, but they are split over how easy it is to distinguish truth from fiction. www.pewresearch.org/...

Homeland Security cracks down on undocumented truck drivers Since September, 223 undocumented immigrant drivers have been arrested in Indiana as part of Operation Midway Blitz

WOW: More than 220 immigrant drivers have been arrested in Indiana by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. That means 220 truck loads of goods from food to medicine to auto parts to toys are now sitting in a federal depot and businesses are missing goods. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

Twenty victims of Jeffrey Epstein have released a joint letter urging Mike Johnson to immediately administer the oath of office to Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

You will not find a sadder post on the internet today.

Through @caloes.bsky.social, I'm deploying highly trained @lacofd.bsky.social Urban Search and Rescue teams to Jamaica to help reach victims of Hurricane Melissa.

California stands ready to help when disaster strikes — at home or abroad.

The Halloween spirit seems dampened here in the PNW. Anyone else noticing that?

Funny you bring this up. I made a respectful comment about DOGE on X today and almost immediately had my reach limited and content censored. My comments are always respectful...

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

This feels important to point out.

I'd like to say it should be obvious.

Pathetic.
