This administration prioritizes the appearance of strength over justice and the rule of law. We see it. And we will continue to fight for what is right-advocating for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the others who have been unlawfully arrested and deported. This is not over.
Breaking news: Kilmar Abrego García was detained by ICE on Monday after arriving at the agency’s Baltimore field office as part of a required check-in after his release pending trial on human smuggling charges, his attorney said.

A review of transcripts since 2016 from Kerr County’s governing body offers a peek into a county paralyzed by competing interests: to make one of the country’s most dangerous regions for flash flooding safer and to heed to near calls from constituents to reduce property taxes and government waste.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

A must-read exposé from ProPublica reveals the devastating impact of Texas’ abortion ban. Sepsis rates have doubled, putting countless lives at risk. This isn’t just politics—it’s life or death. Sepsis can cause organ failure, brain damage, and deadly complications. No one should suffer like this.
NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

The cost-saving claims don’t hold up. Every dollar in NIH research grants generates $2.46 in economic activity, research shows—a total of $93 billion in 2023 alone.
“It’s incredible to me that we would give up this thing that has such obvious societal benefits,” says biologist Mark Peifer.
