This month, we don't just remember these heroes, we check our compasses by the stars they followed. Whether itโ€™s Idaโ€™s pen, Sankaraโ€™s vision, or the radical dreams of Malcolm & Martin, their legacy is the foundation we stand on while we reach for the stars. Check your north star.

Lots of people are asking me why DOJ is leveraging the ICE deployment in Minnesota to obtain unreacted copies of the state's sensitive voter file data. I recently explained why this is the biggest legal story and may be the biggest political story of the year.

Watch and share.

Audre Lordeโ€™s words are a blueprint: none of us are truly free until we all are. Our work in labor, democracy, and disability justice is one shared fight. This year we keep up the work to ensure no neighbor is left behind. #PApolitics

Special education enforcement would be up to states under Trump plan โ€ข Pennsylvania Capital-Star In its quest to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, the Trump administration wants to let states police themselves when it comes to educating students with disabilities.

Many teachers and parents fear the move will strip away crucial federal oversight and deny vulnerable children the services theyโ€™re guaranteed under law.

Trump vows no SNAP payments until Democrats cave on shutdown โ€ข Pennsylvania Capital-Star President Donald Trump backtracked Tuesday on a pledge by his administration in court filings to partially fund November food assistance during the government shutdown.

It was not immediately clear what effect Trumpโ€™s declaration that he would refuse to provide food aid would have on benefits that usually are provided to some 42 million Americans (two million in Pa.) and, at the moment, are shut off pending the partial payments.
