🔥JACK SMITH: "Trump engaged in serious crimes against 🇺🇸- a criminal scheme to prevent a lawful transfer of power... the rule of law faces challenges unlike any we've experienced. I won't be silenced by threats of prosecution. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well."

The ICE raids and cruelty we are seeing inflicted on children are unacceptable.

The federal government has stripped legal representation from hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children. Many will soon face an impossible choice: navigate our immigration system alone or risk detention and deportation.

Our city is stepping up. We've invested $16.9 million in immigration legal services for unaccompanied children, with another $32 million in this year's immigration legal services budget, including rapid-response legal advice and representation for people in detention.

If you need immigration legal support, we're here to help. Our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline is available in your preferred language, regardless of immigration status.

From my cousin in Cuba if anyone is interested in the situation there: hope to see photos. Yes, the power situation makes everything difficult; life here gets worse with each passing day. We’ve been without electricity for over 48 hours now—we don’t know what to cook or how to cook it. ⏭️

Very good news in this Change Research poll. While the overall results are a mixed bag, it shows when likely voters are presented the contrast between Jolly and Donalds, we lead 46-40. It also shows the more voters understand Byron's questionable record, the more support we draw.

I used to love the All Star Game. But now Fox Sports talks to the players while they're playing in the outfield and even when they're batting, distracted by trying to keep the earpieces in their ears. It's not serious at all anymore. More about Fox than the players. Sucks.

It's almost like "they" want another pandemic. I mean...one of the first things Trump did in his first term was disband our pandemic response team. Biden created a new team of experts which Trump again gutted in 2025. So there's no preparedness for another pandemic? Just askin.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates. “I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said. (Published Nov. 2025)
