House GOP & Trump are responsible for the chaos unfolding at America’s airports. Dems have a bill to fully fund everything (black slide) but ICE & CBP until reforms (blue slide) are agreed upon. Johnson is blocking the bill. Trump won’t sign anything until the SAVE Act is passed. Pass it on.
“Representative Rosa DeLauro has a bill to FULLY fund the following but Mike Johnson is BLOCKING her bill from the floor until they fund ICE and CBP too: 1. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) including the Disaster Relief Fund; 2. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA); 3. U.S. Coast Guard; 4. Transportation SEcurity Administration (TSA); 5. U.S. Secret Service; 6. Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC); 7. Science & Technology Directorate (S&T); 8. Office of Inspector General (OIG); 9. Federal Protective Service.”“The majority of Americans want reforms in the way ICE and CBP have been operating.
The reforms the Democrats are holding out for include:
No deportation or detention of U.S. Citizens; Prohibit operations at sensitive locations like schools, houses of worship and polling places; Require agents to get a warrant from a judge before kicking in someone's door; No masks; Clear identifying information on uniforms; End racial profiling; Establish use of force policy in law; Allow independent investigations into misconduct;
Mandate use of body-worn cameras.”

Yesterday I said a society *requiring* you to own a car makes you less free than a society with options for biking, walking, & transit. Lots of people have shouted at me that this could never work in rural areas, and that they have to drive long distances for everything. YOU'RE MAKING MY POINT.

Section 504 is an important law that protects disabled people. Texas v. Becerra is a court case where people are asking the court to get rid of Section 504, which would hurt a lot of people. You can read about it and learn how to help with this plain language explainer:

My hackles go up when I hear people say to get out of your comfort zone, make phone calls, etc., to legislators even if you’re uncomfortable. Easy for them to say when they’re neurotypical and not otherwise disabled.

Disgusting! The judge might as well have said “Not guilty.” What good does formalization of Trump’s status as a felon do if there’s no punishment?

Judge declines to impose any punishment in Trump sentencing
Judge Juan M. Merchan sidestepped thorny constitutional issues by effectively ending the case but assured that Trump will become the first person convicted of a felony to assume the presidency.
