At the steps of the Statue of Liberty on Sunday, I organized more than 50 people to turn our grief into a collective demand: Free the 238 men unlawfully disappeared into CECOT. Ad Policy (Kisha Bari) In 2019, I spoke to a group of asylum-seeking women who told me of the months they spent trapped in a detention center in southern Texas after trying to seek asylum at the US-Mexico border. They were denied showers for weeks on end, forced to bleed through their clothes during their periods, and were given rotting food to eat. These women endured conditions meant…

Washington — President Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to allow it to move forward with its plans to lay off thousands of federal workers at nearly two dozen agencies while a legal battle over the president’s plans to drastically cut the size of the government moves forward.The Justice Department’s request for emergency relief is the second in which it has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the ongoing dispute over its efforts to execute reductions-in-force, or layoffs, across the executive branch. The administration initially asked the Supreme Court to halt a two-week temporary restraining order issued…

Scott Applewhite/AP The fate of legislation to enact President Trump’s domestic policy agenda moves to the GOP-controlled Senate this week, where a handful of Republican spending hawks are criticizing the price tag of the president’s mega-bill, which would grow the national debt…

Washington — The Senate this week is taking up the massive budget package containing President Trump’s second-term agenda, a measure that squeaked through the House with a one-vote margin, solely with Republican votes. Its path through the Senate seems destined to be similarly narrow, with the package almost certain to be revised, since parts of it are opposed by a handful of GOP senators critical to its passage. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, recently ventured to the other side of the U.S. Capitol to remind Republican senators “that we are one team” and pleaded with them to keep the…

A leading GOP friendly group supporting President Trump’s “one, big, beautiful bill”  is readying a $4 million advertising buy aimed at helping steer the effort through the Senate after a number of Republicans voiced concerns about the legislation as it stands. The plans from Americans for Prosperity, first reported on by CBS News, come as the GOP-controlled Senate is expected to focus on the sprawling bill key to Mr. Trump’s agenda after it narrowly passed the Republican led-House last month.  The messaging from AFP  includes “video and digital ads that will air on cable, connected TV, and other digital platforms,” according…

The stereotype is that Canadians are kind, but they by and large do not take kindly to President Trump’s idea of making Canada our 51st state. As of April, two-thirds of Canadians considered the U.S. to be “unfriendly” or an “enemy,” and 61% say they have started boycotting American companies. However, Canadian dislike and distrust of the U.S. is not new. Canadian views of the U.S. have trended down for decades, from a high of 81% of Canadians holding favorable views of the U.S. under Clinton in the ’90’s, to hovering in the 50-60% range in the aughts, to only…
