NEW: A firm linked to Trump’s sons got nearly $40 million in federal contracts to screen for Ebola and other diseases. XpresTest has experience conducting Covid screening in U.S. airports but has never worked with Ebola or biosecurity services abroad. propublica.org/article/trump…

Since the government doesn’t track the number of citizens detained by immigration agents, we did — and counted more than 500 Americans who have been held against their will. Now, 40 lawmakers are demanding answers from DHS head Markwayne Mullin. propublica.org/article/ameri…

A recent federal report found 91.3 million acres of public lands — an area nearly the size of Montana — could be used for data centers. The Trump official overseeing most federal lands has tens of millions invested in the AI industry. propublica.org/article/burgu…

New reporting reveals Trump’s Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has between $18.1M-$64.4M invested in AI companies looking to build data centers. Burgum has strongly advocated for using public lands to build data centers and stands to profit off their development.

The election is over. The health center funding deadlines are not. Federal funding runs out Dec. 11, and the Community Health Center Fund, about 70% of federal grant dollars for health centers, expires Dec. 31. Congress needs to extend it before the year ends. #ValueCHCs

Nine months ago, Alex Pretti was on Nicollet Ave when federal agents disarmed him before shooting him at least 10 times, killing him. Today, America is voting, and in Minneapolis, people are showing up on Nicollet Ave in the rain to place their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial.

Future generations will never believe that the most powerful country on earth elected this imbecile twice, or that grown men, successful business leaders, fawned over him in public and prolapsed their dignity as if they were North Korean generals in fear of imminent execution. A sorry tale.

The South stands with Scott Colom — the next Senator from the Great State of Mississippi.
Medgar Evers was killed in his driveway because he refused to accept a Mississippi where some were denied the right to vote. He stood with thousands who marched, organized and sacrificed so future generations could have a voice. We owe it to them not to take that right for granted. On Tuesday, honor their legacy. Vote.

Hey in case anyone's waffling here. Keep Mike Rogers far, far away from the US Senate.
🚨 BREAKING: Mike Rogers confirmed in a new interview that he would vote for a national abortion ban: "I've been very open about that time I was in Congress, having a 100% pro-life rating... This is the only way that I know how to be when I go back to the United States Senate."
