Marc Elias was called an alarmist for saying Trump would refuse to concede in 2020. Then came Jan. 6. “They want you to believe that Donald Trump may say some things, but in the end, he’ll accept the results,” Marc says. “I don’t believe that.” Stay in the know: demdock.com/3T3Owjg

Apparently $12M was moved from HHS's Office of Minority Health to help fund RFK Jr's security, while grants supporting preventive care for low income communities were canceled. Waste, fraud, abuse, and a spectacularly bad use of public health dollars 😒

Now we’re asking the Bulwark community to step up with them. We’re raising money for the Haitian Support Center, which is on the ground in Springfield helping families with food, transportation, legal assistance, and other basic needs.

Stay tuned for more on this from mainstream reporting hopefully later today, but Bob's got the gist of it; last week, it appears that ICE began disappearing people from the Online Detainee Locator System the moment they get a final order of removal. Yes, this is as deeply screwed up as it sounds.
