Great #nicar26, a heartfelt thanks to @ire.org! The vibes were top notch

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Indianapolis kinda came out of nowhere and charmed me

Definitely reveals my ignorance, but Indianapolis is much more bike friendly than I would have assumed

I, for one, continue to think that the vast majority of people are decent, or at a minimum capable if decency. Don’t let the undeniable depravity of many highly visible elites represent all humans.

1/3 of conservative homeowners support a public option for homeowners insurance, and the crisis is still building

Important read

Thanks for sharing Mark! If you listen to the debrief that comes after the story, you’ll hear a VERY conservative state rep make a very heartfelt case for more industry transparency (along with more compelling testimonies from folks dealing with quite troubling situations)

Home insurance rates soar in Idaho as lawmakers weigh growing wildfire risk Idaho homeowners are seeing insurance premiums rise and policies canceled as fears of catastrophic urban wildfires grow, prompting bipartisan concern at the state capitol.

I have also observed strange coalitions forming in deep red Idaho: www.boisestatepublicradio.org/show/idaho-m...

The Insurance Crisis Is So Desperate People Are Turning Socialist Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Americans seem increasingly desperate about the cost of home insurance.

The Insurance Crisis Is So Desperate People Are Turning Socialist Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Americans seem increasingly desperate about the cost of home insurance.

US homeowners are like that meme of the guy with the stick, poking a dead fish and telling it to “C’mon, do something.” The longer we take to fix the insurance crisis, the less insurers will enjoy what gets done

AOC: “That’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”

Success. Don’t call ride shares in unfamiliar cities, take the bus!

One of my favorite things about visiting new cities is figuring out the local transit system. Indianapolis’ so far is treating me well.

Could not currently be closer to Indianapolis! #nicar26

The White House is obsessed with hiding the President's involvement in a child sex ring. It's what they spend most of their time on.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
