JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

Navigating changes to Medicaid and SNAP shouldn't mean navigating a maze to get help. Today, we're launching HART, a new outreach team helping New Yorkers keep their health coverage, food benefits and get support on everything from housing assistance to eviction prevention.

I really don't understand America's culture of forcing service workers to be on their feet all day.
TSA says it is removing chairs at document checks in airports, requiring staff to stand for their shift. TSA explained the reason as twofold: to ensure its employees meet its fitness standards and to create an amiable environment for travelers.

A Global Policy Repository tracked 53 nations: only 8 have a gov't lead on #IndoorAir, just 7 have binding health standards, and only 25/253 policies address schools. Call your local reps and demand #CleanAir in schools! Fight for the kids! Watch: airclub.org/unga-2026
Healthy #IndoorAir in schools is a health & human right demanding action! We must address "canary in the coal mine" warnings from rising chronic illnesses caused by virus-laden air & pollution. Proud to represent my community at the global #CleanAir event at the UN today @togetherwemask.bsky.social

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

The WHCA is useless. They will never give up access, because it defines them. So they have no leverage. Individual news organizations and reporters could choose to boycott or get a spine and start pushing back on his lying, derangement, rudeness, racism, misogyny, and thin skin. 
Last night: The mighty White House Correspondents Association declares that it “stands in defense of our colleagues.” This morning: Trump administration refuses entry to MS Now crew, confiscates their White House access badges.

Rigging the Electoral College isn’t the goal of illegally excluding noncitizens—this map is a minor tradeoff for turbocharging gerrymandering 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 Texas, Florida, etc. Excluding noncitizens from redistricting would let the GOP pack more Dem votes into fewer seats—making the rest whiter & more GOP
"A Trump administration proposal to exclude some types of immigrants from the 2030 census might not expand the congressional map for Republicans, and could even result in fewer House seats in red states."
