Flood of new migrants is burdening some cities — while others would welcome them https://t.co/8C4qqJL7Ap “In contrast to other cities such as Topeka, Kan., Dayton, Ohio, and Erie, Pa., say they have the room, they have the space and are ready to welcome documented migrants.”

Hacked
CISA, the FBI, and the EPA held a press briefing this evening about these Iranian cyberattacks on U.S. water facilities.

Tech dreams
Andrew Truelove came to California in April with tech founder dreams & $2,000. A month later, he was sleeping in a parking lot.

Democrats get shit done
To rebuild I-95 on time, we need 12 hours of dry weather to complete the paving and striping process.
With rain in the forecast, we reached out @PoconoRaceway for help — and they're bringing their jet dryer to Philly to help dry this section of I-95 and keep us on schedule.
