Trump’s immigration crackdown is risking higher food prices for Americans, according to the Trump admin itself.  DOL warned in an obscure document last week that “near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens” is threatening “stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”

Trump administration says immigration enforcement threatens higher food prices

U.S. farmers face labor shortages and potential food price hikes due to Trump’s immigration policy, the administration acknowledged in a Federal Registry document.

No Boomer or beyond should still hold an office without a succession plan. They should have spent the last years training and lifting up a leader to pass the torch to. If they haven’t, they failed. Brilliant people are waiting in the wings.

Pass. The. Torch.

It’s one thing to no longer show dignity or respect for the office you hold, it’s another to show such contempt and cruelty for the American people.

Leaders bring people together and don’t try to instigate a Civil War.

So where is MAGA on Qatar building a military base on U.S. soil?

Every single poll shows voters blame Republicans for the shutdown. So any job losses will be this Administration’s choice and doing, in the midst of rising costs people also blame them for.

What reckless, cruel men.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

The people following ICE vans with horns, stepping in between masked men and their neighbors.
The people walking other people’s kids to school.

The hardest fights are the ones that matter the most.

Paid family and medical leave. Raising the minimum wage. Free lunches for kids.

They took guts. There were times when the outcome was uncertain. But we organized together - and that's how we won. That’s exactly what I’ll do in the Senate.

They got bot farms saying Stephen Miller is hot and charismatic. They’re doing White House roundtables on things that don’t exist. They’re releasing piles of dubious mugshots. They’re saying vibrant cities are boarded up and war torn. They think saying anything enough will make the truth irrelevant.

Absolutely, the paid leave movement fights for paid family *and medical leave for all working people (along with safe leave and military deployment leave)

"...I see some of the elevator speech trickling into the political mainstream, where many of us have fought for it to live for years. Here it goes: paid leave is not just powerful policy; it's good politics."

Paid leave, politics, and the new guard.
