75% of Labor Department workers are furloughed during Trump’s shutdown.
That means millions of workers will have fewer watchdogs on the beat to ensure job safety, crack down on wage theft, and enforce labor protections.
And the so-called “pro-worker president” is to blame.

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in
The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.

One in six women in the United States has depression, according to CDC.
New research appears to confirm what many suspect — the symptoms often can get worse just before your period.
