Maryland, New Mexico Become Latest Blue States to Ban Local Contracts with ICE Governors Lujan Grisham and Moore signed laws barring local sheriffs and police from partnering with ICE’s 287(g) program, joining eight other states with similar prohibitions.

A recent bill in New Mexico that bans local and state agencies from partnering with ICE also effectively shuts down three counties’ detention programs and prevents any future ones.

An image we won't soon forget. Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to look at Epstein survivors pictured behind her on the Hill today.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

They're not stopping at your birth certificate. SAVE 2.0 would END online voter registration in, KILL mail-in registration, and STOP voter registration drives.

It's a full-scale attack on your right to vote.
Call your MoC (202) 224-3121 and tell them #StopTheSaveAct

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Chuck Schumer’s deal makes sense to me. If accepted, the House would have to come back into session to vote, and that means Adelita Grijalva being sworn in and the Epstein files coming out. John Thune probably rejected this compromise solely for fear of this occurring.

ACA Insurers Are Raising Premiums by an Estimated 26%, but Most Enrollees Could See Sharper Increases in What They Pay The amount health insurers charge for coverage on the ACA Marketplaces is rising 26%, on average, in 2026....

Obamacare enrollees are getting an early look at 2026 prices — and the numbers are staggering. Premiums are expected to jump 26% on average, with some states seeing costs more than double as enhanced subsidies expire.

BREAKING: Trump has ordered the National Guard to create “quick reaction” forces nationwide by January to respond to civil unrest within the U.S.

Ask yourself why no other president felt the need to do this.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Governor Newsom signs legislation allowing for rideshare workers in California to unionize.

Governor Newsom signs legislation allowing for rideshare workers in California to unionize.

I just signed legislation allowing the 800,000 rideshare workers in California to unionize.

California is determined to give working people a voice, to give them choice, give them dignity, and give them a say about their future.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective…

How Much Have Trump’s Cuts Shrunk the Federal Work Force? Shutdown Plans Offer a Clue. The number of federal employees has been trimmed by thousands since President Trump took office, according to contingency plans drawn up by federal agencies.

Before the government shutdown began Wednesday, many agencies published contingency plans. The documents reveal, to some extent, how much President Trump has slashed the federal work force.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."
