FBI has denied MN investigators access to evidence. So:
"Anger over the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti has catalyzed state lawmakers to take matters into their own hands. New bill would allow citizens to sue ICE agents if their constitutional rights are violated."

BREAKING : Not a single Republican showed up for the deposition of named Epstein co-conspirator Les Wexner…

Not one.

The public sector saw a 0.7 percentage-point increase in union density in 2025, rising from 35.7% to 36.4%. This growth reflected an increase of 236,000 unionized workers. The most notable development in public-sector unionization in 2025 occurred among federal government workers. Despite—and likely because of—the Trump administration’s aggressive attacks on federal employees and their unions, federal workers increasingly turned to collective representation. Union density among federal workers rose from 29.9% to 31.1%, the largest single-year increase since 2011. This increase represented a gain of 40,000 unionized workers—notable given that federal government employment fell as the Trump administration slashed federal jobs. Unionization among state and local government workers also rose—from 37.1% to 37.6%, reflecting an increase of 196,000 unionized workers. Private-sector union coverage increased by 227,000 in 2025, pushing the unionization rate up from 6.7% to 6.8%. Within the private sector, there were particularly large gains in health care and social assistance, retail trade, and educational services. In contrast, the traditionally blue-collar industries of mining, manufacturing, and transportation and utilities saw declines. Construction was one heavily blue-collar sector to buck this trend, posting substantial gains in union coverage.

Here's some good news - the number of workers represented by a union rose by almost half a million last year. www.epi.org/publication/...

DHS axed its civil rights staff—and opened the door to a major lawsuit The agency is now barely pretending to follow disability law. Its former civil rights head says that makes ICE vulnerable.

A recent Congressional letter accuses DHS of not being compliant with a major civil rights law due to the mistreatment of disabled ICE detainees. As I reported for @motherjones.com, this is worsened by the fact DHS' office for civil rights has TWO EMPLOYEES now.

There have been 14 crashes of Tesla "robotaxis" in Austin since June, and the public has only found out about them after the fact through mandatory reporting to NHTSA, which provides no real details. Police will serve Tesla, not the public interest. Only citizen documentation will keep you informed!

CHICAGO: be aware that Tesla is heavily testing its extremely janky "robotaxi" service in your city. We've seen job listings going back months, and now I'm hearing on the ground reports of testing in both regular Teslas (likely facelifted Model Y) and "Cybercab" prototypes.

Be on the lookout!
