An ICE whistleblower says the agency is bypassing the standard vetting process for new hires, posing “grave national security risks.” This is what Trump and Republicans are spending $200B+ on: putting unvetted, violent masked thugs on the streets with carte blanche to round up anyone they want.

Missouri Supreme Court rules new GOP-drawn map can’t be used for November elections

The court said a referendum seeking to put the map up for a vote must be placed on the ballot, meaning the state’s elections this fall will take place under its old congressional lines.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
