Congressional Democrats are expected to overwhelmingly reject a bill to fund ICE,
the agency spearheading Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown,
amid mounting outrage over its heavy-handed and violent tactics in Minnesota and elsewhere.

Signals for a no vote came from Hakeem #Jeffries, the Democratic minority leader in the House of Representatives, along with Pete #Aguilar, the chairman of the party’s caucus, and Katherine #Clark, the chief whip.

Their sentiments are expected to influence the vast majority of the Democrats’ 213-strong House caucus to vote no
– 🔥although sufficient Democrats are believed to be ready to vote in favor to enable the legislation to pass. ❌
🆘The party has no plans to whip its members into line to enforce the leadership view.

The anticipated Democratic thumbs-down comes despite provisions in the bill that keeps the agency’s 💥$10 BILLION annual budget,
reduces ICE enforcement and removal operations,
and imposes a 5,500 reduction to its number of detention beds.
The legislation also secured $20m for the “procurement, deployment, and operations of body worn cameras” to be worn by ICE agents, thanks to Democrats’ efforts.

In his latest attack on healthcare workers,
Donald Trump 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 #𝗻𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲,

This is a direct attack on the health care workforce.

And it’s one more reminder why we need scientists, educators, and health care professionals IN Congress
— not politicians who don’t understand (or don’t care about) the consequences of their actions.

As a professor at Emory’s nursing school, I’ve dedicated my career to training the next generation of nurses
— the people who will care for us when we’re sick, deliver our babies, respond to emergencies, and literally save our lives.

I’m running for Congress because I’ve seen what happens when politicians who know nothing about medicine make decisions that endanger patients
and disrespect the healthcare workers who keep this country running.

But I can’t fight this fight alone.

Please chip in anything you can to help me win this race and bring a fresh, needed perspective to Congress.

Had a great discussion with Clark about his excellent album Steep Stims, the Access Virus, finding "friendly parasites" in music-making, and the benefits of friction.

Real nice guy.

Body Riddle is the third studio album by English electronic musician Chris Clark and the first one under the mononym Clark. It was released on 2 October 2006 by Warp.

The music video for the song "Ted" was selected by Pitchfork as one of the top music videos of 2007. "Vengeance Drools" was later used in the 2009 short film Cut, promoting the charitable organisation Women's Aid. "Ted" was used as the theme song to the 2022 Channel 4 comedy series I Hate You.

Ryan Dombal of Pitchfork wrote that Clark "infuses sonic streaks of contemporaries like Four Tet, Prefuse 73, and DJ Shadow into his repertoire, along with his usual Aphex and Boards of Canada tics, and in the process crafts his best album to date". In 2017, Pitchfork ranked Body Riddle at number 17 on its list of "The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time" - Wikipedia
