NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

If you gave someone $1 million every day since the birth of Jesus Christ, they'd have about $741 billion.
But that's still less than Elon Musk, who's currently worth $841 billion, according to Forbes.

Days after covering a protest last week, I realized I had been shot with a new so-called "less-lethal" munition that the LAPD is using more commonly at protests: the FN303. This week, Chief McDonnell said that officers used the FN303 because a judge banned the LAPD from using 40mm launchers.

It’s pretty wild that the air quality in the US is so much better now than in the 60s-90s bc of regulation they want to roll back.

I usually avoid sharing what feels like "inside baseball" political analysis here, but this merits an exception because of the stakes + scale involved.
Zohran isn't "wrong" to endorse Hochul; he has no choice. But for primary voters to back Hochul would definitely be unwise. Let me explain why. 🧵

This is true.
This is depressing. Mamdani killed the primary challenge to Hakeem Jeffries and now he is essentially killing the primary challenge to Hochul.
Hope he does good stuff, but he's acting to enhance his own influence while killing off broader transformative political change in the state.

Wait wait wait, this "drawdown" is because sheriffs agreed to break state law to help DHS with nazi crimes on the stipulation their legal costs are covered when people rightly say hey fucko thats illegal? This isn't a drawdown, it is just replacing some DHS goons with regular cops
