The Office of Management and Budget released its first fiscal 2027 apportionment of ICE’s OBBBA operations money on Oct. 20. Of about $43.5 billion in the account, OMB cleared about $7 billion for this year and held $36.6 billion for fiscal 2028. Let's take a peek.

Bernie Sanders and I are standing for a 5% tax on California billionaires, so 3.5 million Californians and poor kids don’t lose their healthcare. Gavin Newsom is standing with the billionaires and supporting Proposition 42 to stop a billionaire tax from ever happening.

Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors. The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.
