Democrats are up double digits on the generic ballot. Republicans are breaking with Trump over taxpayer-funded ads. And a GOP senator accused Jack Smith of perjury, only to realize he had confused two basketball teams. If this is what the final stretch looks like, November cannot come soon enough.

Democrats rise as Trump and Vance campaign in GOP strongholds. Trump sparks Republican backlash. GOP Senator's gotcha attempt backfires hard.

ICE builds more prisons because the goal is explicitly to warehouse surplus labor, criminalize poverty, and assert total control over all of society. When Stephen Miller claims there are 25, 30, or even 50 million "illegal immigrants" in the US, he's betting on how many of us he'll need to imprison

It has been 118 years since the Supreme Court ruled the federal government owes tribes water, but Native American communities in northern Arizona are still fighting for their rights to the Colorado River. (Published June)
propublica.org
Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.
