“One school leader recalled attendance dropping as immigrant parents became afraid to send children to school. Looking ahead to the start of the school year, the educator fears another wave of trauma.” Making Haitians trying to build a better life-or anyone, goddammit-go thru this. It’s abhorrent.

Just came across an article I wrote in 2012 warning against an Israeli attack on Iran and how a post-attack Middle East could be the worst of all outcomes, including for Israel. But Netanyahu never believed this and unfortunately neither did Trump.

“Reasonable people can debate ODNI’s size and mission, but sacking dozens of seasoned officers in your first week isn’t reform – it’s performative firing to please a president who treats his own intelligence community as the enemy within.” engelsbergideas.com/reviews/insi...

This one is concerning. And the official CIA statement in response sounds more like an admission of guilt than a reassuring explanation. www.ms.now/news/cia-not...

1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.

From Medicare & Social Security benefits to immigration issues, #TeamElfreth is here to help our neighbors on their hardest days. One of those neighbors, Juanita from Ellicott City, had trouble getting Medicare coverage ahead of her surgery. Our casework team resolved her issue in a matter of weeks!

Dozens of Epstein survivors “met” with Todd Blanche. Blanche treated them terribly, showing zero remorse for how his botched Epstein Files release traumatized them. “Blanche’s willingness to sit in a room with us should not matter more than how he treated us once he was there.”
