Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.
Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.
The dramatic rise of farm labor contractors has led to rampant abuses. For the latest story in my @propublica.org series on the H-2A visa program, I've looked into some of the reasons why regulators have failed to stop foreign farmworkers from getting harmed:

We’re a few days away from the DHS funding deadline, which means Democrats have real leverage to stop the regime’s secret police.
Demand that Democrats refuse to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation.
The new training from the Texas Medical Board comes nearly 5 years after the state passed its strict abortion ban in 2021. ProPublica’s reporting has shown that pregnancy became far more dangerous in the state after the law took effec www.propublica.org/article/texa...

NEW: Howard Lutnick, the billionaire who serves as President Trump’s commerce secretary, planned a visit to Epstein’s island in 2012.
Lutnick previously claimed that he was so revolted by Epstein that he had cut ties with him years earlier.

NEW: Why is your personal data being put in harm’s way?
The answer is simple: Trump wants to control who can vote in elections.
The DOJ’s voter data scheme is nothing more than an attempt to incorrectly purge eligible voters from the rolls — all in the name of winning, Dan Vicuña writes.
it will fit well into lessons on propaganda or narcissism
Politicians in the House have introduced a bill that would radically change election laws and threatens to disenfranchise millions of voters.
The so-called Make Elections Great Again Act is a disaster for our democracy.
“… Epstein and Musk appeared to be emailing back and forth about timing and travel logistics … Musk said he would already be in the Virgin Islands and asked Epstein if ‘there [is] a good time to visit?
'any day 1st - 8th. play it by ear if you want. always space for you,’ Epstein responded.”
Nick Fuentes called Alex Pretti a “race traitor” for opposing ICE.
I argue that sentiment is actually widespread on the MAGA right.

Elon Musk has publicly claimed he never visited Epstein's island and barely knew the man.
New documents show Musk emailing Epstein in Dec 2013: "Is there a good time to visit?"
Epstein: "always space for you"
This was 5 years after Epstein's 2008 conviction and sex offender registration.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.
The Department of Justice just pulled this document of allegations against Donald Trump down off their website. Why? End the Coverup.
The release, which in the 3 million pages includes more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, comes more than 40 days after the agency was legally required to release the full set of files involving the disgraced financier, in compliance with federal law.
Shot and chaser from new Epstein batch
DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:
Q: Can you explain Tulsi Gabbard's role in DOJ activity regarding the Fulton County search?
BLANCHE: She happened to be present in Atlanta. I saw the same photo you did. She doesn't work for the DOJ or FBI.
The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort underscore the gravity of this moment. This has never happened before in our history. We shouldn't pretend it's normal.
More reason for us to hold the line and demand a DHS budget that stops funding lawlessness.
OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in.
*Reads:* "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"
As the Trumpers well know, these actions, as well as their now regular public defamations of purported "criminal suspects," risk undermining any prosecutions they might bring -- but often they don't even pursue actual cases.
