NEW: Major, BFD action by blue states standing up to ICE. Maryland, on Tuesday, banned local law enforcement from being part of ICE's notorious 287(g) program.  That automatically forces *9* sheriffs out of their ICE contract! And New Mexico did the same last week:

The regime did everything in its power to rig the congressional maps in Indiana — and lost. Even in deep-red territory, we are not powerless. Thank you to @indivisiblenei.bsky.social and everybody else who is fighting back (and winning) from inside the machine.
Heritage Action on Twitter: “President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state.

Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop.
These are the stakes and every NO vote will be to blame.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map. This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026. The vote failed big, 19/31. The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!
