Mysterious ways. @DataRepublican told me I could use the Census Bureau to geolocate addresses. So I built that. Then she went and worked on her super secret DOGE-at-the-Pentagon job and went quiet. Then Nick Shirley. While she was quiet, I started ingesting the Medicaid and DOT data, and geolocating it. You can see the results here. grumpytechbro.com/fun/ I did the 990 addresses too. The Chinese Progressive Association, the Center for Empowered Politics, and the CEP Education Fund share a building. From 2020 through 2022 they are the only three filers on one San Francisco pin. In 2023 and 2024 they move to Oakland together. New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund, Windward Fund, and the North Fund share one Washington pin. The names do not mention each other. Different paperwork, same door. Legally different people. Yeah, right. That is not even counting the nonprofit c3 with the political c4. That is just how the NGO world works, because a political c4 has to pay taxes, so you park the $ in the c3. I wouldn't have built the Sankey that helped connect me with Data if my mom wasn't in the hospital. I wouldn't have had this much time obsessing on the geolocation if Data hadn't gotten sucked into the DoW. Now I have a big pile of geolocated orgs I'm using to chase down fraud. Destiny. Mysterious ways.

ICE Pulled Over a Tourist From 2019. He Was Wearing a Washington Child-Welfare Jacket. Olympia can't tell you who's on its payroll, but ICE can, apparently during a routine traffic stop. On Monday, ICE's Seattle office stopped a car and arrested Stanley Robert Kungu Muthee, a Kenyan national. According to ICE, as reported by Fox News, he flew in on a B-2 tourist visa on Feb. 6, 2019, and simply never left. That's a seven-year vacation, and nobody even sent a postcard. The kicker: he was wearing a Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families jacket and carrying a DCYF ID. Per Fox, he admitted he works there. DCYF confirmed he's been on staff since Aug. 16, 2024. The state's defense is a masterpiece of bureaucratic shrugging. DCYF spokeswoman Nancy Gutierrez said he "provided the appropriate documentation when he was hired, which indicated he was authorized to work," including "a valid United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) number with no expiration date," and that the agency has "not been notified of a change in his status." Translation: the paperwork was fine, so everything is fine. Never mind that, as DHS pointed out, a work permit is not the same thing as legal status and doesn't shield anyone from deportation. ICE didn't bother with nuance. Its official account posted: "AMERICAN TAXPAYER DOLLARS SHOULD NEVER PAY THE SALARIES OF ILLEGAL ALIENS!" and said illegal aliens have "NO BUSINESS" working in agencies responsible for American children. To be fair, and somebody has to be, we don't know what his job at DCYF actually was, and he hasn't been convicted of anything. Overstaying a visa is a civil immigration matter, and he may yet contest it. But here's the real question for Washington. This is the state that mails a ballot to everyone on the rolls, sues the feds over enforcement, and calls itself a proud sanctuary. If the agency in charge of foster kids can't spot a seven-year visa overstay on its own payroll, how many others are there? And would Olympia ever have found out if ICE hadn't pulled someone over first? Five days before Election Day, it's worth asking who's checking the checkers. So, Washington: should every state agency that works with kids be required to run E-Verify and a status check, or is "the paperwork looked fine" good enough?

AUSTIN WOMAN with 30 criminal cases drove through two fences to escape police, then a week later evaded again and crashed into a car at MLK, putting the other driver in the hospital. It was her third police chase in five weeks. Three months earlier, DA Jose Garza's office had rejected or dismissed most of her felony theft cases and gave her 70 days in county jail. She was stealing again 16 days later. Bodesha Garner has 30 criminal cases in Travis County. 27 of them are felonies. In May 2025, an officer found her stalled in a left-turn lane on William Cannon with a flat tire. She told him she'd taken a hit of crack 30 minutes earlier, then pulled the glass pipe out of her pocket to show him. She failed the sobriety test, but County Attorney Delia Garza declined to prosecute the DWI. Last fall she picked up four felony theft cases. This spring police say she was stealing purses at The Domain, which added three more felony thefts, two of them for $2,500 or more. One came with a court order to stay 200 yards away from Neiman Marcus. On July 17, DA Jose Garza's office cleared most of it at once. It rejected all three 2026 theft cases and dismissed one from 2025. It rolled three more into a single guilty plea that was punished as a misdemeanor, with 70 days in county jail. A few weeks later it dismissed a stolen-car case and a crack possession case. 16 days after the plea deal, police say she was stealing again. She now faces five new felony thefts, two for organized retail theft, plus another DWI. In September, officers tried to pull her over and she took off. In October they found her near a North Austin hotel, and she drove through two fences to get away. A week later she ran again, and this time she hit someone. She has nine open felonies. None has been indicted. In more than a decade, her longest sentence has been 70 days.

RIP LEGEND

🇩🇪🚨MEGA-ESCÁNDALO: La ganadora de las elecciones de BERLÍN, del partido de ultraizquierda Die Linke confiesa por error que Hamás controla su partido y teme por su vida💣 Un error acaba de generar una crisis de seguridad impresionante. La revista Der Spiegel —un medio, cabe destacar, de marcada tendencia izquierdista— ha sacado a la luz un documento interno que prueba cómo Die Linke ha sido secuestrado por el islamismo. Su candidata a gobernar Berlín, Elif Eralp, envió por accidente a la redacción las notas privadas de una entrevista donde confiesa estar coaccionada y aterrorizada por Hamás que opera dentro de su propio partido. Resulta que luego de una entrevista, el equipo de la candidata revisó la transcripción. Durante este proceso, Eralp hizo comentarios internos que debían quedar en la más estricta confidencialidad. Sin embargo, el documento con las acotaciones sin borrar fue devuelto a los periodistas. El contenido de esas notas es dinamita. Cuando Der Spiegel le preguntó por Ibrahim Ibrahim —un propalestino simpatizante de Hamás que celebró la masacre del 7 de octubre—, la respuesta pública iba a ser esquiva. Pero en el margen del documento filtrado, Eralp escribió la verdad: «Hay un PROBLEMA. [...] mi marido no, y yo tampoco, quiero nombrar nombres concretos, él tiene miedo de esta gente y yo también». La filtración expone la cruda realidad del islamoizquierdismo en Alemania: Eralp llegó a comparar el nivel de amenaza de estos militantes pro-Palestina con el del Crimen Organizado e implora abortar la publicación: «No puedo poner en peligro a mí misma y a mi familia por Der SPIEGEL. ¿Qué hacemos ahora? ¿Anulamos toda la entrevista?». El mayor chiste de toda esta situación, sin embargo, quedó plasmado en una de las frases que Eralp sí quería publicar. En un alarde de desconexión absoluta, la candidata afirma en la entrevista: «Lo que sí puedo decir con total claridad es que, como alcaldesa gobernante, velaré por la seguridad de todas las berlinesas y todos los berlineses». Una promesa que resulta irrisoria viniendo de una dirigente que, en el mismo documento, reconoce en secreto que ni siquiera puede proteger a su propia familia de las bases de su partido. Luego del escándalo, Eralp ha anunciado que procederá legalmente contra Der Spiegel y presentará una queja formal ante el Consejo de Prensa por haber citado sus anotaciones internas. Esta maniobra judicial evidencia de inmediato lo susceptibles y completamente desbordados que están en realidad estos cuadros dirigentes frente a situaciones de crisis. La izquierda radical berlinesa creyó que podía capitalizar electoralmente el extremismo islámico; hoy, los documentos demuestran que es el extremismo quien los tiene de rehenes.

I still struggle to believe this is a real question from a practice test for the new SAT, but it is.
