#Browns QB Shedeur Sanders was in East Cleveland today, giving away 500 backpacks full of supplies to students at Kirk Middle and Caledonia Elementary.

The kids also got treated to Pizza Hut and Pammy's Ice Cream.

There were LOTS of smiles and squeals from excited kids today.

They shot him and then tried to deport him immediately before he could tell his story. How many times must this happen?

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Oh my God

ICE shot this unarmed man in the back while he was delivering food. 24 hours later, the bullet is still lodged in his back and they've refused his pleas for pain medication

He entered the country legally and had a valid work permit

New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. https://t.co/oCahGd4lgY

ICE has been detaining a record number of pregnant women since Donald Trump’s return to office. According to records obtained by The Guardian, the agency also "lost count” of miscarriages suffered by women held in detention almost a year ago. https://t.co/IdYe7eaGJS

Maurice Clarett says learning to read in prison changed his life

“I couldn't read real well, comprehend, do anything prior to playing football. I'm never going to be able to play football again. I'm thinking, ‘I got seven and a half years. I'm 22. I'll be 30.’ So I was like, ‘Man, I'm going to go ahead and just start to educate myself.’”

“When dudes would send me $40, $50, $60, I would take this stuff and I was like, ‘Man, I'm going to just start learning how to read, become interested in something, and just become good.’”

“The next thing I know, the same passion that I have for football and film study… I was like, ‘I can read, and I like reading, and I enjoy reading, and I enjoy comprehending.’ I enjoy having a better vocabulary or communicating to different people. That's what really happened.”

“Reading changed my life like nothing else. Reading and self-education was what really changed. That just kind of set me on a different path. What I thought was possible, or who I see myself as…”

And there it is. Just as I predicted. They’re canceling Congress tomorrow to avoid the vote on IMPEACHING @SecWar. It will also make it harder for us to reach 218 signatures on the Epstein Discharge Petition before the election. We were at 190+ signatures last night.

Tierra Walker died from pre-eclampsia because healthcare workers refused to intervene due to the Texas abortion ban.

While suffering hypertension & seizures, a HCW said to tell her husband: “Can you go tell him that this is all in her head?'" 

They killed her.

I had seen the coverage of this controversy but hadn't actually watched the speech until today...this is completely unobjectionable! Punishing him for these words is crazy and just pure censorship and everyone defending it was probably whining about cancel culture two years ago.

This teen boy has now been in an internment camp for 165 days. His birthday is coming up. He has been accused of no crime, was here legally, and has no deportation order. Just indefinite detention at the discretion of Marco Rubio.

Marco Rubio Is Punishing a Teenager For His Grandmother's Sins

This story is as outrageous as the student detained for an op-ed. A green card holding family interned for months for a crime they didn't commit. My latest w/ emails from inside Dilley:

Yesterday, we lost a cherished member of our family.

We got Sunny at the start of our second term in the White House, and all of us – including our first dog, Bo – immediately fell in love. We also had trouble keeping up with her, for Sunny was a force of nature. Athletic and full of boundless energy, she leapt over the hedges on the South Lawn like they weren’t even there, chasing squirrels, birds and anything else that moved. And whereas the way to Bo’s heart usually involved a treat, Sunny was more interested in having us run around with her, roll on the floor with her, or have her belly rubbed for as long as we were willing.

She loved the girls, even if they were pestering her when she was napping. She loved our team, and would often follow them around, helping them on the job. She was fiercely protective of Bo, who she rightly sensed wasn’t always as alert and attentive as she was. She had her eccentricities: other than Bo, she preferred people to dogs; she was a loud and sloppy drinker; and despite being a Portuguese Water Dog, she hated getting wet.

But as far as our family was concerned, she was pretty much perfect, and for thirteen years, she would be by our side – always loyal, always sweet, always ready for adventure, still fiery and gorgeous till the very end of her days.

We will miss her terribly, and imagine she’s with her big brother now, making sure he’s okay.

ICE beat up two kids who were US citizens, but the relevant fact is that they weren't doing anything that should have caused law enforcement to stop them: they were enlisting in the Marines.

this is an extra funny take when you realize that Abdul actually went to Michigan (and played football in high school) & Talarico actually went to Texas

…while their Republican opponents both went to private colleges

When my baby died in the NICU, having received half a million dollars of medical care, the system and providers billed my insurance and simply wrote off the remaining patient balance -- a gesture of much-needed humanity during a time of immense grief

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result.

Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE.
