By connecting the dots between the airlines and their investors, and by looking for more ways to leverage local government’s monetary powers, maybe the public can ground ICE flights one plane at a time, up until the day they can be abolished altogether. buff.ly/HeP2y4l

Good news: More than 800 Washingtonians who were set to lose their Apple Health coverage today can keep it – and keep getting the health care they need. A federal court temporarily blocked the Big, Bad Betrayal Bill from cutting health care for immigrants who receive Supplemental Security Income.

Trump: "SI! SI! SI! SI! SI! SI! SI!" Me: "Why does this feel familiar?
The front entrance to the Palazzo Braschi during the 1934 general election while under Italian fascist rule. (Rome, Italy, Unknown Author)

The National Fascist Party (PNF) was the only party legally allowed to run during that election. The word "SI" (Italian for "YES") was to remind Italian citizens what option they should select in the upcoming election. ("YES" to elect the PNF's members, "NO" for the PNF to try again.)

— — —

A black and white photo shows a multi-story building covered with the word "SI" written 132 times across three floors above a grand walk-in entrance. A sculpture of the PNF's dictator is centered between the words and framed to stare down at the large open space (Piazza Navona) below.

Multiple people are seen casually walking across the large open space in the foreground, going to-and-from the building and to other neighboring buildings. A large white statue is seen to the left with a man standing in front of it, while a black vehicle and a small group of people are seen to the right.

I don't know if any would necessarily want it, but some governors should be reaching out to officers Hegseth has purged to offer commissions in state defense forces. Not the hybrid state-federal Guard, but their state-only units. Even if it's just a symbolic gesture, it's a way to make a statement.

Aside from the obvious, what I hate most about this is that he's politicized the military for at least a generation. The next Democratic administration will be *forced* to politicize promotions and firings as part of a fundamental, necessary course correction. We will need to purge MAGA and rebuild.

We are saddened by the loss of Pastor Cole Meckle, who fought for life-saving harm reduction services in Lewis County. We represented his church, which runs a syringes services program, in a lawsuit to protect its right to provide these essential health services for its community.

White text on dark blue background reads, "Our syringe services program allows us to make connections with people who are poor, hungry, addicted, lonely, and unhoused. The program is motivated by our faith, but also by the brain science of addiction. We know what works, and our program is incredibly effective." Quote is from Pastor Cole Meckle
