Pushback works, part gazillion:

"Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices."

We have yet to receive adequate information from Homeland Security about the recent news of Minnesota students being detained by ICE.

Snatching up students who come here legally to work hard and get an education does not make you tough on immigration.

We need answers.

As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Jawdropping.

You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States.

This country is unrecognizable.

Rep. Cherish Pryor explains that having an established relationship with your reps has more impact than one off emails or calls about specific bills, though that’s important too. Also the state budget is an important indicator of whether legislators are listening to an industry’s needs. #NASWINLEAD
