Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social

About half the jail population in Albuquerque is homeless. The county spends about $169 per night to jail inmates without significant medical or mental health needs. Housing individuals in the city’s year-round emergency shelter costs $44 a night.

my latest for the @nytimes.com w/ @mikebaker.bsky.social: we looked at how billionaires are increasing their spending in elections big and small all across the country, from federal races all the way down to school boards.
It's obvious, although never explicitly acknowledged and rarely explained in plain, direct language, that in the mind of many politicians and media pundits, the "harm" is not being cisgender.
Inspired by ProPublica’s new database, I created a visualization of the nearly 400 LLCs that make up Trump’s business empire.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.
What's angered Trump re Noem? Her testimony about a $200 million self-promotional ad campaign at DHS — about which @propublica.org broke the critical details last year:

Another member of the chat, William Bejerano — who tried to start a pro-life group at Miami Dade College — was the primary user of the n-word in the group. At one point, he posted a block of text calling for dozens of acts of extreme violence against Black people, who he referred to using the n-word, including crucifying, beheading and dissecting people. Bejerano hung up the phone when reached by the Herald.
![Dariel Gonzalez, the College Republicans’ recruitment chairman at the time, responded in the chat: “How edgy.” “Ew you had colored professors?!” Gonzalez wrote at another point. “I reguse [sic] to be indoctrinated by the coloreds.” He told the group he used the term “colored” because, “I was told we cant say black anymore.” A couple days later, he added: “Avoid the coloreds like the plague.” He did not respond to a request for comment. The group chat members — which included some women — also frequently discussed sex, sometimes describing women as “whores” and at one point using the k-word, a slur for Jewish people, to describe women they avoid.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiba3tsaelrqqyuqmrs2mxzan2vjomxpvm4gxnzutvyhv23d2qj4wu)

Fun fact, fox news once tried to sic a mob on me because I wrote that being hispanic didn’t mean you couldn’t be a white supremacist, because race is subjective and many hispanics identify as white. Completely unrelated here’s how some Miami Republicans talk in private

Sen. Blumenthal has written a letter to Kristi Noem about her denial that Corey Lewandowski has a role in approving contracts at DHS.
"I demand that you amend your testimony" and "provide the basis for your apparent false statement on the record."

Kristi Noem was asked during Senate testimony yesterday whether Corey Lewandowski had any role in approving DHS contracts.
"No," Noem said.
That's.....BS. And my colleagues have the goods.
www.propublica.org/article/kris...
Noem personally approves all DHS contracts over a certain threshold. Before the contracts reach her, they are approved by political appointees.
Lewandowski is typically the last to OK a contract before Noem, DHS officials told @propublica.org's @josh-kaplan.bsky.social @justinelliott.bsky.social
JUST IN: Trump DOJ proposes surprise rule aiming to let Attorney General Pam Bondi suspend state bar investigations into alleged misconduct by DOJ lawyers. Very unclear if there'd be legal authority for the AG to intervene in this manner.

NEW: During his reelection campaign last fall, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said you can’t “arrest your way” out of homelessness.
But a ProPublica analysis found that under Keller, the city has increasingly jailed homeless people.
This case is horrifying. The man had deferred action, was on a full path to a green card, is a college grad magna cum laude, and ICE arrested him randomly while looking for someone else:
“What do we do?” said one ICE officer, to which another replied “We’re going to take him with us anyway.”
NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.
We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters Monday that the United States faced an "imminent threat" from Iran - but only if Iran was first attacked by Israel. "The imminent threat was that we knew if Iran was attacked, and we believed they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us. And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded," Rubio told reporters on Capitol Hill, where he was briefing lawmakers.
So Rubio said we had to bomb Iran bc Israel was about to and all hell would then break loose.
If only there were some big, powerful country that could have stopped Israel.

Well, it's relatively expensive, so certainly not "anyone" could get access -- but who do you think they would not sell to? Probably not a bad-faither election truther group, but besides that..?
