ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

28,000 of those jobs are in manufacturing.
We can expect to see more job growth in manufacturing as the defence contracts start getting placed and new markets entered.
Also growth in R&D and the various support industries.
It is only going to get better from here on out.

Playing this on repeat to get us through.

Hours after Trump’s FBI opened an investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James, she appeared at a town hall with a powerful message for the resistance.

There are certain hypotheticals you simply never get to test out. This seems to be an exception. How will a judge and later a jury treat an indictment if you had to fire multiple prosecutors before you could find someone to bring an indictment. I guess we'll find out! www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/p...

NEW: Next week, the Supreme Court will re-hear a case that could allow Republicans to create 19 new safe U.S. House seats by gutting what’s left of the Voting Rights Act.

The far-right majority may finally be ready to finish the VRA off.

Here’s what’s at stake. ⬇️

Republicans could draw 19 more House seats after an upcoming Supreme Court ruling

Many experts are forecasting the end of a key provision of election law — enabling Republicans to shore up their advantage in the House, according to a new report.
