After a near miss from Beto O’Rourke followed by a tough loss by Colin Allred, Talarico has a real shot to win the Senate seat in Texas He needs A TON of help. The GOP political machine there is as corrupt as it gets But maybe Donald Trump shouldn’t have been so eager to dump Cornyn for Ken Paxton

Striking new poll of Texas Senate race: Talarico 45 Paxton 40 This is really notable: Talarico leads among non-college voters by 45-36 and among independents by 43-23 (!) Hard to imagine this is right but he's probably slightly ahead now. www.texastribune.org/2026/07/28/t...

Repeated deadly incidents have made clear this is not a training failure. It is a systemic failure. ICE is beyond reform. It’s time for Congress to replace it with and immigration enforcement system that reflects our values and the rule of law.

White House border czar Tom Homan said the vetting and training processes for ICE agents are “under review” after revelations that the agent who allegedly shot and killed an immigrant in Maine had been accused of domestic violence.

Call the mayor's office in cities with a high concentration of Haitian residents, eg., Miami is one. Ask to get connected to the local Haitian community advocate groups and leaders. These are the people who know the Haitian community, and can tell you how you can help.

People who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years. God have mercy on their three little girls.

“If immigration hadn't picked up my brother, my sister-in-law would still be alive, and the children wouldn't be going through this sorrow,” he said. “Unfortunately, immigration — the [U.S.] government — doesn't see that. It makes no difference to them.” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

We're officially 100 days out from Election Day. We’ve traveled thousands of miles, met people in every corner of Illinois, and had some incredible moments along the way. Here's a look back at some of my favorites.

Jeffries: Hegseth came to Capitol Hill and, I believe, lied under oath with respect to the actual cost of the war. He claimed that we’ve spent about $35 billion. The reality, we believe, objectively, is that this war has cost the American taxpayer over $100 billion and counting

Army Pvt. Isabella Gonzales was killed by an Iranian strike in Jordan — she was just 19 years old. Our gratitude for her service should not be mistaken for acceptance of her death. We should not be sending our brave men and women like Isabella to die in another forever war.

Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's family called him "El mundo entero" — the whole world. Two days ago, he was shot and killed by ICE agents on his way to work.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.
