Today from me in @prospect.org: a new class-action lawsuit alleges that North Carolina's Jackson Farming Company and its contractors trafficked workers from Mexico on H-2A visas and forced them to work in inhumane conditions. They used the threat of ICE to keep workers scared.

THE PEDOPHILE:
"States are merely an 'AGENT' for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They MUST do what the Federal Government, as represented by the PEDOPHILE of the United States, tells them."

Here's an updated graph of how much carbon dioxide (CO₂) has changed since the first Earth Day, which is driving recent climate change.
To Iran, Trump Blinked First by Extending the Cease-Fire... um TO EVERYONE. He DID blink first and gave up the entire threat of more war. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/w...

I live in a heavily gerrymandered district in Nashville. People on my same (small!) street are in different districts.
Trump will have to accept a worse deal than JCPOA. For one thing he gave Iran the ultimate bargaining chip www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/u...

Trump's Aides Know He Crazily Wrecks Things So They Keep Him Out of the Room Where it Happens #ABlueView 🧵1/3

The UN: "The number of incidents in Gaza, including shootings, shelling and attacks, rose 46% in the week of April 12 to 18."
The Gazans are displaced, without aid or infrastructure and under constant attack. They rely on our donations.

As @tnsenatedems @tndemocrats @tndems warn about a new Republican bill to INCREASES the amount of the private school vouchers and RAISES the income max for the half that have one — speaker Sexton defends it.
Make no mistake: CBO continues to estimate huge cuts to #Medicaid from OBBBA, last year’s reconciliation bill, despite Trump Admin officials’ false claims otherwise. In fact, CBO projects that 7 million ppl will lose #ACA Medicaid expansion coverage from 2025 to 2032.
The Shia-led Coordination Framework must nominate a prime minister by Sunday, as required by the constitution.

The question isn't whether these officials should have been fired; all had serious, multiple allegations pending.
