650 people in Brewer, Maine — ready to set off a political earthquake.

As Maine goes, so goes the nation. And that’s exactly why the politicians in Washington, D.C. are so scared.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — because Courage is contagious.

Trump's Truth Social post to AG Pam Bondi last month, urging the prosecution of his political enemies — including both James Comey and Letitia James — was meant to be a private message.

Comey's lawyers will likely use that post to argue the case against him should be tossed out.

The president has executed a wholesale transformation of the Justice Department, taking control in ways he could have only dreamed of in his first term.

Trump just threatened to impose severe, unprecedented tariffs on Chinese imports. He won’t negotiate with Xi at the upcoming APEC summit, choosing to sink the global economy. The Dow is already down 300 points. This will devastate American small businesses and cause your expenses to skyrocket.

Sister Jean was a role model in Illinois — inspiring us to embrace our neighbors.

As a lover of life, she taught us to channel positivity to keep us hopeful in times of need and kept that attitude all the way to a life well-lived at 106 years old.

May her memory be a blessing.
