Twenty-five years ago, Congress mandated that the U.S. State Department have an office tracking the scope of human trafficking and working to combat it.

Last week, the Trump administration drastically cut that office's staff.

John Yang has more.

I spent the day at the ICE Detention centers where Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil are being unjustly detained. They've been taken thousands of miles away from home and denied due process.

I’m here to call for their immediate release and make it known that they haven’t been forgotten.

A scary read about where we are and what is at stake.
A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.

The indie bookstore around the corner had this sign. So I went inside and bought 2 books from the banned book section. Support local small businesses. Read banned books. Drink your Ovaltine.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

It’s so funny that Charlie Brown’s theme song isn’t even named after him, it’s named after Linus and Lucy. I remember getting the sheet music when I was taking piano lessons as a kid and being like “Man, that boy doesn’t have anything”
