The Trump Administration has refunded $100 billion in tariffs. But the money isn’t going to American consumers who paid higher prices. It’s going to big corporations. That’s wrong.

“The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.” Fleeing. The vehicle was driving away. That’s murder. A legal resident of the United States is now dead. The threat to public safety is ICE. It must be eliminated.
Homeland Security: On July 13, 2026, at approximately 7:00 AM ET, ICE was conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal. An illegal alien departed the residence in a vehicle. ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.

The driver of the vehicle was struck, and emergency services were immediately contacted. He passed away from his injuries. 
 
The Biddeford Police Department and FBI responded to the scene. DHS OIG has been notified and like all discharge of firearms this will be investigated. This is a developing situation, and we will update the public when more information is available.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

DOGE officially ended over the weekend. One of its crowning achievements was cutting $15M from the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1B to combat the screwworm outbreak. "Efficiency."

The Ludlow Massacre was a watershed moment in our state’s history. It was a violent struggle between coal mine workers, big business, and state forces. ⁠ ⁠ Today, as tech giants and other corporations work to erode our rights, we remember this pivotal uprising.⁠
White text on a black background reads:

"112 years ago, the Colorado National Guard and private militiamen attacked striking coal miners and their families. 

They killed 21 people, including 12 children, in the Ludlow Massacre."

To my Jewish friends and community members, I grieve alongside you. My heart breaks and breaks for everyone impacted by this senseless act of terrible hate. Targeting ANYONE for being who they are and expressing their beliefs is vile, wrong, and unacceptable.

I’ve long drawn inspiration from the concept pf In Lak’ech: You are my other me. / If I do harm to you, I do harm to myself. / If I love and respect you, I love and respect myself. 

The violence must end. May we heal, united by both grief and our shared commitment to empathy and peace.
