The truth is my light. Better living through science. Book-a-holic. Politics, nature, medicine, history ... the world is a fascinating place.

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. 
People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. 
As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. 
Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. 
Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

That's why I don't understand his talking about them all the time. You and I go to the doctor, no test. But my husband with dementia was administered these tests every single time we went to the doctor. They are used to track dementia progression.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

The Epstein files stay hidden, but the Epstein Ballroom will be a prominent display.

I donated some money to the Capital Area Food Bank. They are teaming up with other organizations and having food bank events not only in DC but out as far as Gaithersburg, Maryland. They are asking that federal employees show their government ID.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Ms. Jacobsen's book notes that we have just 44 interceptors.

"Nuclear War: A Scenario" by Anne Jacobsen said this about the U.S. missile interceptor program:
“its highly scripted tests have been riddled with failure. In missile defense terms, this means a disastrous success rate. In 2017, the tests plummeted to below a 40 percent success rate."

The people in Arizona’s 7th congressional district have been without representation in Congress for over 7 months.

Mike Johnson continues to deny them representation because their duly elected representative has pledged to sign the petition to release the Epstein files.

Airtag on her collar. It has ended my times of frantic searching for my cat Rocky when he's deep inside a closet.
