I stand by what I wrote early this year: Trump and Co. will definitely try to steal the midterms. And they will fail, because it's too big. Trying to buy votes wasn't part of their scheme then. But you should see it as a sign of desperation — that they know their other malfeasance won't be enough.

We’re fighting back against a new Trump administration rule that would make it hard for people to get and keep health coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Working families across Oregon rely on the ACA for health insurance, and we’ll keep doing everything we can to protect it.
AG Rayfield fights back against rule that would make it harder to get ACA coverageWhat happened: AG Rayfield is pushing back against a Trump administration rule that would make it harder for people to get and keep health coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The rule would pile new red tape onto ACA enrollment, drive up healthcare costs, and push more people into losing coverage altogether. AG Rayfield and a multistate coalition are supporting a lawsuit challenging this rule.“Everyone deserves access to quality health coverage—it keeps families and our entire community healthy. Struggling families don’t have time to sift through a mountain of red tape just to make sure their kid can see a doctor when they’re sick. We’re standing up to make sure that no one loses health care because of unnecessary bureaucracy.”

Since this summer, ICE has been arresting asylum applicants at airports. Many came legally, then applied for asylum. They have been here for years just stuck in a massive line, working and paying taxes while they wait. No prior admin would have arrested them. Their “overstay” is due to DHS delay.

Dug into this and her name seems to be Zhao Jing. She’s being held at Adelanto. A habeas lawsuit was filed at 11:05 AM Pacific today. On X, a user said Ms. Zhao had taught her son. As to why ICE arrested her, no idea. Most likely she’s a pending asylum applicant who got stuck in backlogs for years.

Her name is Zhao Jing, and my heart broke when I heard her shout "Jing Zhao." Because I saw terror, helplessness, and despair on her face, which shattered me. I never imagined I'd see her in such a way. I still have her contact information; I have her email records. She was once my eldest son's early intervention teacher, with extremely fluent English close to native speaker level, and a senior staff member at that institution—a team-leading Supervisor. She's even from the same hometown as me. For someone in her situation, do you have any advice?郑存柱 @cunzhuzheng.2h

S Translated from Chinese
Recent Progress:
Last night, a friend of this lady reached out to me, asking for my help. Early this morning, I got in touch with Ms. Zhao by phone. After our conversation, I obtained her specific details. That friend had helped top up her phone credit. Since her father doesn't know how to answer calls from the immigration detention center, I also found a kind-hearted friend to go to her residence, visit her elderly father, and promptly check on his health condition.
I immediately drafted a writ of habeas corpus, handed it to the lawyer for review, and have now uploaded it to the federal court for official filing.
I hope she can redain her freedom soon.
