In addition to “all this”, the White House has announced pocket rescissions tonight on a variety of domestic programs including health-related research and education programs. Collins has already put out a statement calling them unlawful, but with the House gone, unlikely that there will be action.

New analysis from me & Diane Schanzenbach, possibly my favorite piece ever: We study the SNAP payment error rate and explain why tying how much a state will have to contribute toward SNAP payments to its PER is inherently empirically unstable. Remand. www.hamiltonproject.org/publication/...
A policy that could cause states to drop out of the SNAP program due to chance should not be left to chance. SNAP should be fully federally funded.Figure 3 shows confidence intervals around the point estimates for a states SNAP payment error rate in FY2023. The confidence intervals are larger than the bins.

The Trump admin's latest strategy to mass generate removal orders is diabolical: - Take a huge group of people with hearings scheduled in late 2026, 2027, or 2028. - Send them a physical letter rescheduling all of their cases to next week. - Those who inevitably miss court get ordered deported.

I have already heard stories of students having to skip class to work because their families lost SNAP when the noncitizen eligibility changes went into effect. These cuts are forcing families to make hard decisions just to meet basic needs - ones that will likely shape long-term economic mobility.

On Saturday, Leo Garcia Venegas was wrongfully detained by ICE for a 3rd time in a year. Officers followed him home; he said he’s a citizen and had his REAL ID in hand. But they didn’t care. They tackled and shackled him, no questions asked. We’ve got a hearing tomorrow on our prelim injunction.
Photo of Leo being led by five ICE agents into the back of an unmarked ICE vehicle. His hands are cuffed behind his back and he’s in leg shackles. 
5. I left the store around 7:20 a.m. and began driving home. I was approaching my house when I noticed an unmarked vehicle following me closely that appeared to be law enforcement.
6. I parked my car in front of my house and turned off the engine.
7. The officers pulled in front of my vehicle to block it in. They exited their vehicle and quickly approached my truck.
8. Without a word, the officers tried to open my driver's side door, but it was locked. Because I already experienced two immigration raids, I knew it was important to tell them I was a citizen and use my REAL. ID to prove my lawful status. So, I took out my Alabama Star ID, unlocked the door, and immediately told the officers that I am a United States citizen.
9. Still without asking me a single question or issuing any lawful commands, the officers pulled me out of my car, tackled me to the ground, and shackled me around both my arms and legs.
10. The officers did not listen when I said I was a citizen. And they showed no interest in looking at my Alabama STAR ID, even though it is a REAL. ID issued only to people who can prove their lawful status.
11. Within two minutes of when I stopped in front of my house, a few other cars arrived, including a K-9 unit with the local police.
12. There were about seven or eight officers in total surrounding me. All but two of those officers were dressed in plain clothes with tactical vests and appeared to be ICE
agents. The other two wore uniforms of the local police. At least one of the local police officers arrived with a K-9.
13. The initial stop was initiated by the ICE agents, and it was those ICE agents who took responsibility for my arrest.
14. The ICE agents led me, shackled, to one of their cars and placed me in the back seat. At this point, the officers still had not asked me a single question or bothered to look at my Alabama Star ID that would have shown they had no basis for my detention.
