Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

Proud our @uawregion9a.bsky.social CAP council is starting 2026 with a banger of an endorsement. @bradlander.bsky.social has been standing with us on picket lines for years, demanding workers have a voice and real power. I can't wait to see him in Congress! www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Dan Goldman Voted With Labor. The UAW Is Still Choosing Brad Lander.
UAW Region 9A’s endorsement of Lander over one of the wealthiest members of Congress signals that pro-labor voting records alone no longer guarantee labor’s backing.

This is a very important story. It is also important to understand that this is how ICE operates. They disappear people. Family members and lawyers often cannot get information from ICE about where inmates are located and they cannot contact them. It has been this way for a long time.
