After their work permits expired, an immigration attorney was fired and a nurse was placed on unpaid leave. Both depend on work permits and legal protection afforded under DACA, but recent processing delays at USCIS have left recipients vulnerable to deportation www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

'Easily discarded': Processing delays leave DACA recipients jobless and fearing deportation

DACA renewal delays are costing some recipients their jobs and exposing them to deportation risk as the Trump administration chips away at protections for immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.

In unusual deal, a $1.8 billion fund that could help Trump allies is created
The agreement to end the Trump family's lawsuit against the IRS grants a commission broad authority to distribute nearly $1.8 billion to those who, like the president, have claimed they have been targets of a
"weaponized" justice system.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives. The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Trickle-down economics is a hoax.

Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling. Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics. So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

A recent poll had 2 statements along the lines of "I support deporting all undocumented immigrants" and "I support a path to citizenship for undocumented children." The results were such that some people who agreed to the first must also have agreed to the second. Same poll, contradictory results.

"We shouldn’t hamstring our airports because they won’t rein in ICE." I'm confused by the wording here. Do you mean we (Dems) should vote to fund TSA even if it also funds ICE? Or do you mean we (your repub colleagues) shouldn't vote against TSA funding just because ICE funds aren't attached?
