On Saturday, Republicans on the state house of representatives’ redistricting committee approved a new plan to add five Republican seats—part of a radical mid-decade scheme to help Republicans keep control of the US House of Representatives after the 2026 midterm elections. The plan could go […]

We’re Officially in Donald Trump’s Mad King Era

/

The nonpartisan federal agency announced Friday morning that its relatively rosy forecast earlier this summer had been way off. While BLS had previously reported 291,000 new non-farm jobs in May and June, on further review, the agency concluded that […]

This story was originally published by Inside Climate News and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration.

Anti-Immigrant Language Is Rising—Even on the Left

/

During the 2025 Grammy Awards—the same night he made outdated quips about Colombian cocaine when speaking about Shakira—host Trevor Noah joked that 13,000 members of the Recording Academy had voted for the night’s winners—before adding, “and 20 million illegal immigrants.” The joke led to massive backlash online and an eyeroll from Doechii on the night.

/

When President Joe Biden announced the creation of the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) program in 2023, Sarah Letsinger enrolled immediately. Graduating in 2012 with a degree in fashion design, Letsinger never earned more than $16 an hour in her chosen field—and hardly made a dent in her approximately $35,000 in federal student loans. […]

A Revolutionary Way to End the Incarceration of Girls

/

Last fall, retired Judge Karen Radius leaned on her cane as she walked me toward the girls’ housing unit at Hawaii’s only youth prison, remembering the moment three years ago when she’d learned no more girls were living there. For Radius, a disarmingly matter-of-fact 76-year-old who’d spent much of her career trying to keep teens […]

ICE Plans to Build More Tent Jails for Immigrants. What Could Go Wrong?

But considering the $45 billion it’s been given for the job, the agency’s vision for its new facilities seems startlingly low-tech. In July, the Wall Street Journal got […]
