Homeland Security is lying? Say it ain’t so!

Screenshot of an X post from immigration lawyer Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@R...) calling out a Homeland Security claim as false. He asserts that Congress intentionally created the adjustment of status process in 1960 - not as a loophole - and that USCIS's own website states it was designed to allow immigrants already in the U.S. to obtain green cards without having to travel abroad. He includes a screenshot of the relevant USCIS website language with the key passage highlighted, and embeds the DHS post he is rebutting.

In a Congress that has seen resignations, untimely deaths and consistently poor attendance on both sides of the aisle, it is often unclear how a vote might shape up until moments before it happens. See how absences have affected recent votes in the House and Senate.

President Trump said on Saturday that the U.S. was close to reaching an agreement with Iran to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. In Iran, the country’s leaders have cast the reported terms of a possible preliminary agreement as a victory.

The civil rights movement built power not by capturing the state but by building institutions that formed citizens capable of acting on and with the state when the moment came. The Voting Rights Act ratified that capacity. It did not create it. That capacity is what needs rebuilding now.

The instinct of the response so far has been right, but incomplete. New maps. New litigation. State-level laws. Congressional pressure. All necessary. None sufficient.

When the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran started two months ago, online accounts linked to Tehran tried building sympathy with defiant and emotional appeals. Then, as the war dragged on, Iran shifted tactics. It began circulating short animated videos that scorched President Trump with biting satire.

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469. Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by. Hello?

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits. Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases. Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?
