WaPo's most-read story right now: ICE detains a Polish doctor and green-card holder who has lived in the U.S. for nearly 40 years-- based on two misdemeanors as a teen 26 years ago. wapo.st/2n2pIFs?tid=ss…
Though this man is not a 'dreamer' b/c he has a green card, I wrote about the doubts about DHS's pledges not to target dreamers if they lose DACA protections washingtonpost.com/politics/a-rea…
and ICYMI -- I wrote today about how the language of immigration -- "illegal aliens" v. "undocumented immigrants" -- has been weaponized, thereby making consensus and progress more difficult washingtonpost.com/politics/langu…

. @brhodes said there is "always" a backup plan for Potus bad weather travel. I just spoke with someone familiar with GWBush's travel. He agreed with Ben. Quick thread to shed a bit more light on typical WH protocols. 1/
WH has an big "advance" team that scouts out countries/cities weeks ahead to set up itinerary. "There’s always a backup plan to drive. He could have gotten there," my source said. Sometimes local officials fret about traffic but "no place would say no you absolutely can't go." 2/
The military would make the bad weather call to ground Marine One. The key is having enough time to scramble the backup plan -- usually at least an hour is needed, source said. WH would work with locals to put it in motion, predetermined street closures, police escorts, etc. 3/

My 101-year-old grandmother Toshiko died three weeks ago. We are cleaning out her home and I found these relics from their time in the Topaz, Utah, relocation camps in WWII—my grandfather’s WRA cards, my father’s school essay years later and the Topaz Times camp newspaper.
I’ve written a couple times about my family’s connection to the internment camps including when my father handed Obama a baseball card a few years ago washingtonpost.com/news/early-lea…
Here are some more artifacts from the internment camps. Notice to report to Topaz from Santa Anita processing facility; my dad’s Topaz card; family claim against fed gov for losses after dry cleaning biz seized.

The ICE manual for undercover agents describes how agents & informants are allowed to break the law & can use "proceeds" from illegal businesses to fund their own operations in the field. Profits can also be paid to other agencies and foreign governments unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE can also use profits from illegal business activity by undercover agents and/or informants to buy evidence, to pay themselves overtime, and pay for travel expenses unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE provides cover to undercover agents and informants, as well as fake businesses for use during infiltration, using a variety of methods. One passage reveals how they are provided with fake social security numbers by the Social Security Administration unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."

Tutorial on how to make a map using QGIS. I'll turn @SenhorRaposa's 2000 Vermont town data into a map showing by how much Gore outran Senator Jeffords (or vice versa) in every town.
Step 1: Download QGIS for your computer, which is available here:
qgis.org/en/site/foruse…
You'll also need some of Census' Tiger/Line County and County Sub shapefiles. The main download page for those is here:
census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/sh…

A direct link to the 2017 VT county sub shapefile is here: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2017/COUSUB/tl_2017_50_cousub.zip
I can't find a 2017 County file by state, so we'll use the 2009 verison here:
ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/50_VERMONT/tl_2009_50_county.zip
(We could always edit the 17 national county file in QGIS & create a 2017 VT-only county shapefile, but let's keep it simple.)
