New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie:
Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors - including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.
Working with our partners - as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance.
Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit tips.fbi.gov

Bruce Springsteen: “If you stand against heavily armed masked federal troops invading an American city using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens. If you believe you don’t deserve to be murdered for exercizing your American right to protest, then send a message to this president — ICE should get the fuck out of Minneapolis”

Rhode Island opened window shopping today for 2026 ACA marketplace plans. Because of expiring premium tax credit enhancements, a typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 will have to pay an additional $18,600 annually for benchmark coverage. (1/4)

I hope whoever decided to put the NYT Mini Crossword behind a paywall has warm pillows for the rest of their life.

I hope Trump and his team have studied their failures in Helsinki in 2018 and won’t repeat them in Anchorage tomorrow.

I just left a visit to the ICE detention facility in Eloy. There’s a lot to absorb, but I want to tell you about a woman I met named Maria because her story really shows how messed up all this is.
She’s been in the U.S. for twenty years. Has no criminal history. She was detained at the Marine Base in Yuma. Her son is a U.S. Marine stationed there. He’s married to another Marine. And they have a two-year-old kid, Maria's grandson.
Maria was in Yuma because her son was leaving for training, her daughter-in-law had a hip surgery, and so they needed help watching her grandson. When she came back to the base after a grocery run, she was detained and reported to CBP. Now, she’s being held in an ICE facility.
I remember how proud my parents were watching my brother and I get sworn into the Navy, so I asked her if she had been there when her son graduated from boot camp. She broke down in tears. All she could say was how proud of her son she was.
That stuck with me. And it should stick with you. And if I have anything to do about it, it will stick with this administration. This woman loves America. Her son is risking her life for America – for us. She is the exact type of person we should want in this country. My team and I will keep fighting for her and her family.

It's more than that. Everyone gerrymanders. What everyone does *not* do is wait until a year before an election, decide their party is going to get smoked, and then create seats out of thin air to veto the possibility that other Americans will vote against you nationally.

This video is hilarious!
Good for Trump. These Permanent Washington creatures need to be humiliated, for how they abuse the country.
Powell is literally a Beltway lifer, a complete low-intelligence operator who can only succeed on that DC cesspool.

Do you really believe your doctor just wants to make money out of you but the guy selling you unproven supplements for $64.99 really, truly just cares about your health?

Thinking today of the men and women of the State Department — Foreign Service and Civil Service. Their dedication to serving the national interest and the American people is second to none. It was the privilege of a lifetime to work by their side.

Over 300,000 Pennsylvanians stand to lose their Medicaid coverage as a result of the federal budget bill that passed the House and Senate last week.
300,000.
Congressional Republicans knew the devastating impacts this bill would have on their constituents – and they voted for it anyway.
