Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Arizona Regulators Closed a Failing Charter School. It Reopened as a Private Religious School Funded by Taxpayers. Arizona’s acclaimed voucher program provides zero transparency into private schools’ history, academic performance or financial sustainability to help parents make informed school choices.

Arizona does not vet new voucher schools. Not even if the school or the online school “provider” has already failed, or was founded yesterday, or is operating out of a strip mall, or offers just a half hour of instruction per morning.

71% of Americans can't locate the Pacific Ocean on a map.
33% don't believe in evolution.
26% believe the sun revolves around the Earth.
40% don’t know what Auschwitz was.
33% can't name any branch of government.
54% read below a 6th grade level.
But by all means, eliminate the Dept of Education.

This Saturday we put #FamiliesFirst. Not billionaires. Not corporations. Not deportations. Not tax breaks.

July 26th, we fight back for our families' futures. Join us: seiu.co/FamiliesFirst

🚨ABC 15 exposes Maricopa County for undercounting heat-deaths. Why were some deaths recorded differently? Because the victims were homeless and officials are dismissing their lives. As policymakers, we cannot mitigate preventable heat deaths if we are being lied to about the extent of the crisis.

President Trump is obviously rattled.

Surge in U.S. Concern About Immigration Has Abated The percentage of Americans wanting less immigration has dropped by nearly half this year to 30%, with 79% now saying immigration benefits the U.S.

A new poll shows Americans are seeing through the noise. While some try to divide us with fear and lies, a record-high 79% recognize the truth: immigration makes our nation and economy stronger. #WeMakeAmericaWork seiu.co/3GIyoxN

Senator Lindsay Graham says to not look at polls showing that Americans don’t want war with Iran, that we’re not the ones going.

Well Senator, you’re not going, either.

Believe it or not, we don’t want troops to die because you want a war.

California Sen. Alex Padilla was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and handcuffed.

"I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary."

“We are relieved that David is free and reunited with his family and we are deeply grateful to the hundreds of elected officials, civil rights leaders, labor partners and allies from across the nation who stood in solidarity...” @seiupres.bsky.social, April Verrett's full statement: seiu.co/3ZYw24f

Trump’s federal government is crossing a dangerous line by deploying military force against civilians exercising their right to protest. This is an authoritarian escalation. Immigrants are our family, our friends, our neighbors. They contribute, they belong, and they deserve dignity not persecution.

While the boys are fighting for power and headlines, this “big beautiful bill” will leave nearly 11 million people without healthcare.

Stripping coverage from millions isn’t bold leadership, it’s reckless.

Healthcare isn’t a bargaining chip, it’s a human right!

The most urgent threat to our democracy isn’t external, it’s internal.
The corruption of our campaign finance system, particularly billionaire-funded Super PACs that have turned elections into auctions. We need elections powered by people not billionaires. No more auctions. Let the people choose.

It shouldn’t be this hard to start and support a family.

People should make living wages, be able to buy homes, and retire at a reasonable age.

Instead, our system has sunk working class people into student and medical debt while paying high rents and making low wages.

US will stop tracking the costs of extreme weather fueled by climate change The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it will no longer track the cost of weather disasters, including floods, heat waves, wildfires and more

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

BREAKING: White House says that those who leaked the story about Pete Hegseth giving war plans to his family on Signal might be prosecuted.

So, the whistleblowing is the crime, not the crime itself.

Our cover this week.

We delivered for the DDD community! Thank you to all the DDD moms for their fierce advocacy and help in getting this funding through! 👏🏽✊🏽💪🏽

Our tax dollars are paying for this White House employee who behaves in a hateful, racist, unethical (posting lies) and unprofessional manner. Your tax dollars and mine are paying for this 💩!

Immigrants prove they are alive, forcing Social Security to undo death label The immigrants who have requested a reversal and been reinstated in Social Security databases include a Haitian asylum seeker and a minor child.

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

History shows revoking Harvard's tax status won't be easy — or fast A presidential effort to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status could run up against a number of challenges, including violating federal law.

Arizona Latino Caucus Co-Chairs Miranda and Sandoval React to Musk/Trump/Vance Central Committee’s Despicable Actions Toward Underage Migrants The despicable MAGA war on children not looking for a private school voucher knows no bounds. Full funding for public schools? But where are we going to get the money for the welfare for the wealthy private school voucher program. Paying for free school meals. Then, the poor will expect assistance well into adulthood. MAGA programs to give tax cuts and government subsidies to our donors are much more worthwhile, and they are more deserving.

The Democratic establishment regularly ignores their base.

This is just another instance of ignoring the will of the people.
