Mexico's president Sheinbaum, condemned the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo as another tragic death of people whose only offense is not yet having proper documentation; the government is preparing legal action and UN involvement over killings and abuses by the United States.

⚠️ The Trump administration is forcing states to adopt parts of its anti-voting agenda by leveraging funding for emergency planning and public safety. The ultimatum shows how the administration is seeking new ways to implement the same election policies that courts have viewed with deep skepticism.

FEMA threatens to withhold terrorism prevention funds unless states adopt Trump’s anti-voting agenda
The stakes are immediate and immense. States rely on this funding to prepare for real threats, including cyberattacks and emergency response failures.

We cannot let #ICELawlessness continue! Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a 52-year-old, kind & very hard-working man "who lived here for 35 years, raising 3 sons with his wife & was dedicated to giving his family the American dream.” He did not deserve to be murdered by ICE! Speak out!

Russia’s war machine is funded by increased oil sales due to the US/Israel-Iran war and lifted sanctions. Iran has more freedoms on nuclear program now than before AND sanctions are lifted. Ukraine is seen as a receiver of aid instead of producer of war-tested drones. Half truths aren’t helping.

In New York City, if you break our worker protection laws and shortchange your workers, we will make you pay back what you owe.
Yesterday, we recovered $2.3M for 1,600 workers from Walgreens, Calzedonia, and Kinship Coffee. Since January, we have recovered more than $10 million for New York City workers. Because our City is not a billionaire's playground.
New Yorkers have the right to a regular schedule and protected time off. If your employer violates our laws, file a complaint at nyc.gov/workers and we will fight to put money back in your pocket.

Q: Are you gonna sell F-35s to Turkey, and what about the legal restrictions? TRUMP: Why wouldn't we do that? Turkey in many ways has been much more loyal than other countries than we think would be loyal. It's certainly something we'd consider.

Patriotism isn't about building walls, punishing immigrants, cutting taxes for the rich, attacking the press, or dividing us by race & faith. True patriots don't pander to divisiveness or hate. They work to confirm the "WE" in "We the People of the United States."
