Breaking: A judge on Friday blocked further border barrier construction in the Big Bend region. The ruling means federal contractors can’t continue construction in the national park or surrounding areas until a lawsuit opposing the work is resolved. Via @bigbendsentinel: bit.ly/4j2aUV8

USPS workers’ greatest concern about Trump’s mail voting plan was a requirement that they reject ballots for an array of reasons. “That’s not what we do. We deliver mail. We don’t decide what goes and what doesn’t.” propublica.org/article/trump…

🎉GREAT NEWS🎉 988 has resumed specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis after Congress forced the Trump Admin to restore these lifesaving services. Trump cruelly cut these services—but CEC founder @SenatorBaldwin and our members fought back, and got them restored!

President Trump’s net worth has tripled since 2024. Has your household wealth tripled? As you struggle to put food on the table, he is trading stocks, raking in crypto cash, and enriching himself and his family.
Trump’s net worth hit $7 billion in 2026. That’s triple where it was in early 2024, according to Forbes data.

You read that right. American families have spent $100 BILLION MORE on fuel thanks to Donald Trump's war of choice. No strategy, no endgame, and no authorization from Congress. Enough is enough. wsj.com/business/energy-oil/…

The Supreme Court has once again rejected the Trump Administration's attempt to silence the voices of millions of Americans who vote by mail. Now is the time to check your registration, make a plan, and vote!

The ICE officer who shot a Venezuelan man in Austin, leaving a bullet lodged in his back, was issued a body camera but was not wearing it during the shooting, two officials with DHS tell NBC News. The officials say it was not clear why the officer was not wearing his body camera. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ice…

This is not a president concerned about people’s ability to afford gas, groceries, and health care.
Trump’s net worth hit $7 billion in 2026. That’s triple where it was in early 2024, according to Forbes data.

POWERFUL testimony from Ronaldo Salgado and Lorenzo Salgado Jr., whose father was killed by ICE in Houston. “We are not the only family living this nightmare. Look at the people sitting to our left and to our right: they too have had a loved one killed by ICE. A father, a mother, a daughter, a son.” “ICE is killing people, whether on our streets or in detention centers, and millions of immigrants and their loved ones are living in fear that they might be next. Hold ICE accountable for what is done to our family and so many others, and do everything you can to make sure that this doesn't happen again.” “This must not be a partisan issue. This is an issue of right and wrong. All elected members of Congress have a duty to ensure the safety and well-being of their constituents. Every member has immigrants living in their states, in their districts, in their neighborhoods. What is being done to make sure that they can live without fear?” “We made a promise to our grandmother that we would spend every waking moment of our lives fighting for justice for our dead. We made that promise to her at our father's wake, his open casket.” “And we know the march towards justice is slow, but human history tells us it is steady and unyielding. Our dad deserves justice along with all the families around us, and we'll spend every moment making sure that he gets it.” “I visit my dad's memorial every day, not because it's where he died, but where a movement was born. It is my way of witnessing how many hearts my dad's story resonates with, and it is my motivation to continue fighting not just for my dad, but for everyone else's dad and families like mine." "I hope I'm doing the right thing every day, and I know my dad here is guiding me in the right direction." “Justicia para Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.”

What’s more American than rooting for your college football team? Bo French’s problem is that these kids don’t look like HIS version of America. South Asian Americans are American. Period. Our shared identity shouldn’t be determined by skin color.

Tropical Storm Edouard will move inland along the Southeast Texas coast today. Localized heavy rain is expected to be the primary threat locally. It's a small/compact storm, so a limited number of folks closest and to the right of the center will see the more elevated winds.
