Gov. Sherrill comes out strongly against the ICE plan for a prison in Roxbury:
"DHS's treatment of human beings - citizen and noncitizen alike - reflects a chilling disregard for both human life and the rule of law. New Jersey will not be complicit in this."

A 1,500-bed detention facility is coming to rural Maryland. We’re calling on ICE to account for what that means β€” and asking you to do the same. An Open Letter to DHS's Sustainability Team from Project Salt Box

⚫🟑MARYLANDERSπŸ”΄βšͺ

ICE wants to convert a package warehouse into a facility holding 1,500 people and calls it an "in-kind" change. We disagree.

The public comment window to share open comments closes Thursday 3/5.

Tell ICE what you think β€” we've made it easy.

Read more over at Project Salt Box.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

If President Trump doesn’t know anything about Epstein’s crimes, how can he know for sure that Howard Lutnick is β€œa very innocent guy?” We need answers now.

Wisconsinites have been hard at work to build back from these historic flooding events, but folks are not out of the woods yet. The federal government shouldn’t be leaving Wisconsin and our communities behind in our time of need.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Ripped headline from WBAY: β€œFarm bankruptcies in Wisconsin rise as national rate hits highest point since 2020”

Ripped headline from WBAY: β€œFarm bankruptcies in Wisconsin rise as national rate hits highest point since 2020”

There were over 300 farm bankruptcies in 2025, with over a third of those bankruptcies here in the Midwest.

The Trump Administration cannot keep turning their backs on our farmers and producersβ€”and on America's Dairyland.

The blue corduroy jackets worn by FFA members were very visible in the Capitol on FFA Day. These students represent the next generation of farmers and rural leaders who help keep Wisconsin strong. Thanks to FFA Students from Wisconsin Heights and Sauk Prairie High schools who visited my office!

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

The entire Democratic strategy debate β€” "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? β€” is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

From @status.news this morning.

"Trump, who has despised CNN more than any other institution throughout his political career, wants to neuter the network. He wants to break it."

This is a type of ICE "ruse," and is a tactic the agency has deployed for decades.

In 2015, ICE went to my former client's house posing as cops and convinced his 16-year-old US citizen niece to call him home from work with a fake story (the "identity theft ruse" explained below), then arrested him.

Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

I have worked on 264 legal cases & matters against the Trump administration, including helping secure the injunction to stop his first executive order on elections

If he tries this, it will be 265

This is unconstitutional & insane
