"Dick Cheney, the architect of the War in Afghanistan and both of the Iraq Wars who personified the "forever war" ethos of the George W. Bush administration, has died at age 84. Late in life, Cheney did follow his daughter's lead and endorse Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, calling Trump a threat to democracy. Flooding from King Tides is expected today and through the week,"
"East Bay Congressmen Eric Swalwell and Mark DeSaulnier are calling out increased ICE activity in their districts, and voicing fear that federal election monitors are only trying to intimidate Latino voters from going to the polls today to vote on Prop 50. SF Supervisor Bilal Mahmood says he was turned away from taking an unscheduled tour at the ICE facility in San Francisco, unlike three fellow supervisors before him, with guards saying they could not accommodate the request as threats against ICE agents have risen."
"The coalition of cities and nonprofits that sued the Trump administration in federal court in Rhode Island over the suspension of SNAP benefits is asking the judge in the case to compel the administration to fully cover the benefits, instead of only covering 50%, as they said they would Monday. Trump mouthed off on Truth Social Tuesday morning saying that SNAP benefits wouldn't be paid at all this month until the government shutdown ends, despite the court order and Monday's pledge to play partial benefits. A watchdog group has noted that a majority of the donors to Trump's grand White House ballroom project, like Meta, Apple, and Palantir, have contracts with the federal government."
Former Vice President Dick Cheney, credited as an architect of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, has died at age 84 and endorsed Kamala Harris late in life, calling Trump a threat to democracy. King Tide flooding is expected through the week and will coincide with a storm that could bring winds up to 50 miles per hour to the Bay Area, likely toppling trees. East Bay representatives raised alarms about increased ICE activity and potential voter intimidation of Latino voters on election day, and a San Francisco supervisor was denied an unscheduled ICE facility tour. A coalition seeks full SNAP benefit coverage in court while Trump warned benefits could be withheld amid the shutdown; a watchdog reported that many donors to Trump's White House ballroom project hold federal contracts.
