By contrast, large #corporations in #Minneapolis have been much less vocal about the effects of #immigration enforcement on the city, known as both a bastion of progressive politics in the #US #Midwest & a robust corporate #employer. 17 #Fortune500 companies are based in #Minnesota, including #Target, #UnitedHealth, & #GeneralMills.

#Melania Trump sponsored her mother to #immigrate to the #UnitedStates through a family-based process that #Trump aggressively sought to end, acc/to federal #immigration records released Mon.
The records detail for the first time the full path that the fmr first lady’s mother, Amalija Knavs, followed from Slovenia to the #US — & how the Trump admin’s policies would have made that far more difficult for others.#law

#Scientists say #ClimateChange is increasing the frequency & intensity of such #WeatherDisasters, further straining FEMA’s #budget & personnel.

Rep #RalphNorman (R), whose state was also inundated by #flooding from #Idalia, told reporters yesterday that it would be “unacceptable” to pass a #stopgap #funding bill that doesn’t offer these #concessions….
“It’s time to fight,” Norman said. “If it shuts the government down, shut it down.”#ForMeButNotForThee #TheRealWeaponizationOfGovernment #AbuseOfPower #PublicDisservice #PoliticsOfAppeasement #GovernmentShutdown

‘Shut it down’
Some #FloridaRepublicans also support demands from the #FarRight #HouseFreedomCaucus to attach other #conservative priorities to a short-term #funding bill to keep the #government running past Sept. 30.
In addition to “no blank check for #Ukraine,” the #FreedomCaucus is demanding more funding for #BorderSecurity, #cuts to the #DOJ & the #FBI, & an end to “#woke” policies at the #DOD.#ForMeButNotForThee #TheRealWeaponizationOfGovernment #AbuseOfPower #PublicDisservice

in interviews yesterday, #FloridaRepublicans doubled down:
“I’m typically supportive of disaster relief, but I’m not going to vote for #DisasterAid if it’s linked to funding for #Ukraine — I can tell you that.” - #MattGaetz
#CarlosGiménez said the disaster aid & Ukraine funding “should be 2 separate votes."
#ByronDonalds said he was focused on “making sure that the American people are getting the recovery aid that they need before [Ukraine] is getting anything."
