The Trump administration and its backers in Congress chose to fund ICE and defund health care. This was their plan all along — but here's what they didn’t realize: We will fight to protect our neighbors and communities.

Bruce Springsteen has released a new song honoring the two individuals killed by ICE agents — Renee Good and Alex Pretti — saying it was written “in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis.”

In a statement, Springsteen said: “I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free, Bruce Springsteen.”

Right now, ICE is proposing to set up a mass detention facility in our community. Our immigration policy should not mean ripping families apart, or bringing fear and cruelty into our backyard.
Conressman Pat Ryan is helping to fight back. He has launched a petition to block this ICE detention facility proposed for Chester.
You can help make it clear that we do NOT support it. Add your name to this fight. When enough people speak out together, we can stop this proposal in its tracks and hold the administration accountable. If you agree that the Hudson Valley should not host a mass detention facility, take one minute and add your name to Pat's petition..

Access to verified facts empowers people. American must get past the noise if they plan to find winning strategies that can protect our democracy. While the nation is right to be focused on international news, we cannot ignore critical state-level actions currently being designed to manipulate the 2026 midterm elections.
Maga is working on multiple strategies to hold onto power. While most people were talking about Venezuela, Maga is looking at the mid-term elections.
With the death of GOP Congressman Doug LaMalfa, the departure of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Trump’s fight with GOP Thomas Massie over his release of the Epstein files, the GOP majority is shrinking. If the GOP loses one more seat, the House will be deadlocked. If they lose two, Democrats could regain the House bringing back a system of checks and balances in Congress and impacting the Trump agenda.
To prevent this, MAGA allies are taking drastic steps at the state level that rarely get the coverage they deserve. In Missouri, the Secretary of State recently threw out over 100,000 signatures from citizens trying get a statewide vote to stop the erasure of a Black Democratic congressional seat. Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just announced a special session to redraw maps with the goal of removing five Democratic House seats just in time for the 2026 midterms.
To protect our freedoms, Americans must stay informed and look beyond the headlines. We need comprehensive news sources with verifiable facts because social media is not the way to get the truth. Social media is built on algorithms designed to ramp up engagement and outrage, not accuracy. We cannot afford to let the loudest voice in the country replace verified facts with reliable, professional reporting.
To protect our freedoms, make sure to know the difference between a conversation and a fact. Social media is a way to stay connected, but journalism is a way to stay informed.

Supreme Court allows Trump to fire last Democratic member of Federal Trade Commission

The justices overturned a lower-court injunction that reinstated Rebecca Slaughter to her position with the agency that oversees antitrust and consumer protection issues while litigation over her removal works its way through the courts. The high court also announced it will hear arguments on overturning a 90-year-old precedent that allows Congress to restrict a president's power to remove members of independent agencies.
