We could ask Homura if she has some ideas for good targets she wanted to hit before but can't because it was too far away or impractical grief cost-wise.

And I know we wanted to hot the Yakuza again; get some more spending money.

Sudden chapter title thought: Wait a moment, if this is Nova Prospekt... We're the ones running the prison. Are we sure we're Gordon Freeman in this scenario?
*Suddenly Hijiri busts into Fukushima with a gaggle of witches*
As far as targets go, I would prefer to range further afield, rather than closer. For one thing, the Yakuza gang we already hit may not have fully recovered and restocked yet, and any hypothetical Yakuza-guca will might be thrown for a loop by a further ranging attack.
On the subject of the witchbomb and Homura, I find myself pondering the odds that the Shiogama girls know it, and Tanaka Misato turned into a witch, and, more relevantly, whether we should talk to Homura about it.
A few points in favor: First, the pair's reaction to our privacy sphere notably had them "very worried" about the sudden witchyness.
Secondly, there's their thoughts about witches: They don't like fighting them, but they don't fear witches. They also know that not hunting witches will get them killed.
The latter can be gotten because they were taught or someone the right questions or Kyuubey deigned to tell them, sure, but it would also be immediately obvious if one of them witched out. But there's also the specific phrasing of it all.
Thirdly, on the subject of reactions, there's also their reactions to the clear seed to consider, which are Interesting. I encourage everyone to go read for their own conclusions but the points that strike me most are these:
By their reactions, I would not be surprised at all if that seed was Misato.
Even moreso however...
Lastly, if Akemi's luck holders truer than she thinks, it wouldn't be out of place for her friend to be lost to a witchout, then end up with someone working on dewitching and theoretically capable of achieving it.
So, what to do about that? Even with evidence that strong, precautions we can take are precautions we should take. Which leads me to noting that Homura was there in the room when she and Mami had to make their explanation. If we talk to her in privacy, I'd like to move to ask her about the specifics of their reaction and whether she thinks it could have indicated them knowing the witchbomb.
Something like: []Ask Homura whether the Shiogama girls' reaction to our witchiness on Tuesday would indicate if they knew the witchbomb.
As far as raising the idea to them directly, it occurs to me that we could lead in via telling them about the possibility of seeds "waking up" after a while. On face value it's a fair warning, but there is a deeper meaning for those who know the truth.
---------------------
Other stuff that comes to mind that could be done today:
Ask the Ishinomaki/Sendai/University groups about whether there's anyone else they'd like us to extend our offer of cleansing to. (IE: the Tome group who the University group are friends with)
Talk to Fukushima about visiting/updating Airi on our progress over the weekend. (Paranoia aside, we never told Fukushima what we were really up to RE: clear seeds and paranoia included Airi might be pacified from any action on her or Hijiri's part, be it now or later, by the knowledge that our deal with her is being taken seriously.)

It's worded to imply that the "after" is the reason they were in danger. I can't think of a reason for that more likely than due to grief buildup from losing their friend. Sure, taken alone it could be a coincidence or the phrasing pointing to something else. But, well it's not alone. (and honestly, I wasn't expecting something this strong when reviewing everything)
Thirdly, on the subject of reactions, there's also their reactions to the clear seed to consider, which are Interesting. I encourage everyone to go read for their own conclusions but the points that strike me most are these:
Their enthusiasm at the conversation is interesting, especially as Noriko cuts Akemi off at the start.
By their reactions, I would not be surprised at all if that seed was Misato.
Even moreso however...
The two of them got a clear seed, and immediately engaged is a private conversation, taking pains to not be overheard. Like what we might do about bomb material if we lacked a privacy field.

Not so early the mornings I'd think: Plus I'd like something more concrete to say to her. I feel like not having something substantial to talk about would be a mistake.

Oh right, that reminds me! Weren't we going to have a big venting conversation with Homura? About all our frustrations, and having to tip-toe around our friends, and all that?
This would be the perfect time to do that...
The "what happened last loop" convo should happen soon, hopefully sometime today or even tomorrow, but we should have the venting as soon as possible; a lot of it was borne out of frustration with She Who Shall Not Be Named, so it would make sense to do that sooner rather than later. And given how burnt-out people (and thus Sabrina) were, this needs to happen.

--[x] Vent to her. Get everything out. Your frustrations with Rionna and girls like her who refuse to listen to you, your frustration about having to tip-toe around your friends. everything.
--[x] And to make things worse, any attempt to solve those issues would probably blow up in your face! You don't want to tip-toe around Mami and Madoka and the others, but witchbombing them is even worse! You want magical girls to listen to you, but if you force them to do what you say then you'll end up a tyrant! You can't do anything, and it's awful! It just makes you want to tear your hair out!
--[x] Don't mention the PotentialBomb, Homucifer, Madokami, or other topics you don't want to tell Homura right now.
Well, it looks like this bit ain't gonna make it. Still serves as a bare-bones Plan For The Day

I feel that this is far too fast. Every day is, in fact, overbearing.
I'll have more detailed commentary later today, when I'm not busy. Quickly:
I'm not sure if talking about the last loop is a great idea right now. I think that Homura needs relaxation. She hasn't had any. At all. We can wait another day. People have been pushing for it hard enough that I don't think I have to worry about the thread forgetting about it. That and it's a dangerous conversation that could go horribly wrong if handled wrong and is guaranteed to have long-term catastrophic results if done at the wrong time, guaranteeing that the thread will vote for it continuously until it's either completed or confirmed by word of god to be a bad end.

remember how sayaka got like null when she tried to copy our powers? Do you think that's an actual feeling or just the lack of a feeling. if it's an actual feeling what happens if she tries to make a trinket out of it.

"Well, I've got nothing."
It was a lack of feeling, like there wasn't anything there to copy. 404, powers not found.

Mmm, not quite.
Sabrina's powers felt different to Sayaka than Madoka's lack of powers. It's more like our powers were weird/out-of-phase with what she can target then that they weren't there at all.
403 Forbidden for Sabrina compared to 404 Not Found for Madoka.

"Well, I've got nothing."
(1) This is an awesome theory.
(2) Noriko has some sort of body-creation power, and we might have just given them the Clear Seed of their friend.
How likely is it that the pair of them are even now running their own de-witching project?

But Sayaka, it's too early for you to be late for school.

Wait, shit, if Sayaka is an anime, does that mean we're going to die soon?

But we have a secret technique.
We cover up the tiptoeing with the power of hugs.
The power of hugs consisting in that being so close, they can't see our toes. Not physically nor emotionally.
