We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government ...

Under DHS’ use-of-force policy, moves that cut off a person's breathing “must not be used as a means to control non-compliant subjects or persons resisting arrest.”

But videos we reviewed showed agents using these restraints to do just that.

Opinion | Abolishing ICE is a popular idea Democrats should embrace Jason Johnson: If Democrats don’t seize this moment, then they shouldn’t call themselves an opposition party.

“There is no facet of American life that ICE activities haven’t affected in a negative way. It’s not only a political slam dunk to run on abolishing ICE, but Democrats also have a moral obligation to do so.“ - @drjasonjohnson.bsky.social

Senators punt release of health package to end of January A bipartisan group of senators had originally hoped to release a framework this week.

The Senate is leaving Americans between a rock and a hard place: sign up for health insurance they can't afford, hoping subsidies will be passed later, or risk going through the year without health insurance.

Trump Says Civil Rights Led to White People Being ‘Very Badly Treated’

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection.

Five years later, his authoritarian regime continues with military deployed in U.S. cities, a disregard for the rule of law, and the unauthorized capture of a foreign leader.

This is what happens when tyranny goes unchecked.

House Republican leaders ditch vote on ACA funding, all but ensuring premiums will rise Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Republicans worked on the issue throughout the weekend but could not come to an agreement with a group of members who want the funds extended.

Senate rejects extension of health care subsidies as costs are set to rise for millions of Americans The Senate has rejected legislation to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, essentially guaranteeing that millions of Americans will see a steep rise in costs at the beginning of the year.

8 Senate Dems voted with Republicans to end the government shutdown on a promise of a healthcare vote in December.

They got their vote today.

ACA tax credits will not be extended. Even a Republican bill to give folks up to $1,500 to spend on health care was defeated.

Judge rules Trump’s DC National Guard deployment was illegal The judge postponed the impact of her decision until Dec. 11 to give the Trump administration time to appeal her decision.

A federal judge ruled that Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to D.C. was illegal, concluding he lacks the authority to send in troops “for the deterrence of crime.”

This is just the latest move in the Trump Administration's work to fulfill Project 2025.

So far, the Trump administration has successfully executed 46% of the Project 2025 objectives for the Department of Education, including dismantling the Department of Education.
