We hope we have demonstrated during one of the darkest times in American history that we are real. You can trust us because you’ve seen what we have done. We lead with integrity. We take big swings. We put grassroots investments to work. And we make history. It’s time to make history once again.

In July, a new ICE agent with a history of domestic violence and mental illness killed a man in Maine who even ICE admits posed no threat to him. Now we know that internal whistleblowers at ICE were sounding the alarm about the agency utterly disregarding normal hiring rules.

In the wake of a hiring surge last summer, an official in charge of evaluating new recruits to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a dire warning. The Trump administration, he wrote in a memo, was cutting corners, violating the law and fast-tracking unqualified, “improperly vetted” candidates into ICE’s ranks, part of a dangerous move that exposed the agency — and its law enforcement operations — to “grave national security risks.” Citing an “unprecedented lowering of standards,” the career ICE official said that “systemic breakdowns” had allowed applicants to receive job offers before they had passed basic fingerprint, identity or credit checks in a preliminary vetting process. Political appointees had unjustly skirted background investigations and received national security eligibility.

When babies in a daycare come in contact with measles, they are particularly vulnerable because children cannot be fully vaccinated until age 4 or 5. This is why RFK, Jr.’s anti-vax rhetoric is so dangerous! This is why we need science voices in Congress.

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

Further American service members wounded in the Iran war were added to the Pentagon’s count of military casualties in recent days, bringing the total number of service members killed or injured to 775. From Stars and Stripes' Phillip Walter Wellman:

Florida's primaries are underway, with Republicans voting in the first major midterm contests after the state's redistricting. The 2026 midterms are officially no longer theoretical.

A Yale study found Medicare for All could save 114,000+ lives and over $1 trillion annually by slashing administrative costs, lowering drug prices, reducing fraudulent billing and avoiding costly emergency care—all while giving more Americans access to care. ysph.yale.edu/news-article...
