They say oatmeal raisin is the worst type of cookie but I think the worst type of cookie is the one eaten behind your back

Musk continues to peddle the lie that no one has died from USAID’s cuts. His latest excuse? Private donors and NGOs could’ve filled the gap. But DOGE abruptly terminated 83% of USAID programs, leaving no time for a responsible handover. They didn’t care.
.@elonmusk says zero people died from DOGE cuts to USAID. The billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, in his own words, helped feed the policy to the woodchipper last year, when he was the head of America’s Department of Government Efficiency. In an exclusive interview, @zannymb, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, challenges his claims: bit.ly/3RNqFnH

If Israel insists on destroying civilian targets in Lebanon, let them buy and build their own weapons. American taxpayers should not be funding this.

Maher Tarabishi, age 62, was taken by ICE last October when he exited his immigration check-in appointment in Texas. He was the primary caregiver for his 30 year old son Wael, who suffers from a chronic muscular condition called Pompe disease. His father provided 24 hour care for many years.
Wael died today, his family told me. Wael’s heath had been declining ever since his father’s detention. He never got to say goodbye to his father. Maher will never see his son again.
Maher came to the United States in 1994. He is not a criminal. He paid taxes. He raised a family. He was attending his immigration check ins reliably. Now that family is destroyed. For what?
If our government has any compassion, Maher Tarabishi should be released from detention now. He should be allowed to attend his son’s funeral. May Wael rest in peace.
Is this what America has become? Is this what we want America to be? Spread the word: #FreeMaherTarabishi

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: documentcloud.org/documents/…

VERY IMPORTANT:
The man in the green jacket walks up to the melee, he reaches in, takes the gun from the man on the ground, and calmly walks away with the gun ICE found.
This was BEFORE any shots were fired.
Which means the man was UNARMED and MURDERED in the street by ICE.
Wearing my “I Voted” sticker and everyone on the street is smiling at me. Is this what it feels like to be hot?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio spent years giving dramatic speeches warning about cancel culture threatening the free speech of right-wing students on college campuses.
Then he got into office and started cancelling visas and arresting students for speaking out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Trump's move toward authoritarianism continues.
A Turkish student at Tufts Univ. was snatched by a group of masked DHS agents.
Why? She wrote an op-ed critical of Israel's war against the Palestinian people.
Together, we must stop Trump's political persecution of dissidents.
