U.S. Rep Sylvia Garcia emphasized that Salgado was a Houstonian for 35 years, with no criminal history. There was no body camera footage, no siren, no lights, no marking on the vehicle that would have identified it as law enforcement, Garcia said. She urged the public to put themselves in Salgado's shoes. "What would you have done if a black SUV-looking vehicle just started chasing you?" “The pain is real across Houston,” Whitmire said. “Immigrants make this a great city.”

Excerpt: Dan Cogdell, a Houston attorney who was part of Paxton's defense team during his indictment on security fraud charges and his 2023 impeachment by the state House, endorsed Talarico in a video posted online Monday. "I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas," Cogdell said. "And unlike Ken, I believe to my core that James Talarico believes in unity over division and that he knows how to assemble not only Democrats, but Independents and Republicans, and we need that right now."
I am back in D.C. on a detail assignment, serving as counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee under Senator Richard J. Durbin. I am so grateful for this opportunity and thrilled to be learning new things and gaining new insights every day as part of his dedicated criminal justice team. Senator Durbin is also my Senator and seeing him up close makes me appreciate his leadership. I also owe thanks to two people who led me to this opportunity -- Alessandra P. Serano, my DOJ counterpart detailed to Senator Charles E. Grassley, and @Stacie Harris, my DOJ predecessor in this detail who left me big shoes to fill. I am excited for this detail but I still miss my USAO, and I thank my U.S. Attorney, Andrew Boutros, whose first reaction, despite needing every prosecutor he can get, was to say, “it is a great opportunity and I won’t stand in your way!” If you come to DC, look me up.
The museum pulled from its website a page called “Teaching Materials on Nazism and Jim Crow” at some point after Aug. 29, 2025, the last time the page was captured on the Internet Archive.

Excerpt: Fox says the job was to “reduce wasteful spending and non-critical spend” in the context of the U.S.’s two trillion dollar deficiency. When asked if he felt any remorse for those who lost grants, he says, “Sorry for those impacted, but there is a bigger problem, and that’s ultimately—the more important piece is reducing the government spend.” “It is a necessary step in the right direction,” Fox says. “Growth in government spending, leads to a debt spiral, leads to hyperinflation, leads to every American feeling 10, 12 percent inflation. It’s knock-on effects of something that you can address today through non-critical spending cuts, or you can all feel tomorrow.”

Trump officials say US demanded far more of Iran than end to nuclear programme Senior Trump administration officials said the US had demanded far more of Iran than an end to its nuclear enrichment programme in the negotiations that preceded Saturday’s attack. The US demanded Iran hand over all of its 10,000 kilogrammes of enriched nuclear material. US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner also told the Iranians that they would need to shut down their three main nuclear facilities, a US official said on a call with reporters on Tuesday. The US also demanded Tehran agree to cease all support for proxies in the region, including Hizbollah, the Houthis and Hamas. Iran baulked at these demands, they said.

Osman said armed ICE agents went to East African restaurants in the neighborhood Tuesday, closed the doors and demanded people's IDs. They found only U.S. citizens and made no arrests, Osman said. “Luckily everyone had their passport, because I've been telling them to have their passport with them,” Osman said. After checking the IDs of some people stopped at random on the street and temporarily detaining at least one U.S. citizen, Osman said, the agents went in seven to 10 vehicles to a nearby city-owned senior housing complex. There, he said, a group of mostly white young people he called “heroes” blew whistles to sound the alarm and confronted the agents, who responded with chemical irritants.

For this to work, we can’t get sidetracked on our message. The Republican Party’s greatest weapon has always been its uncanny ability to turn us against one another. It cannot be said enough: The era of performative woke politics from 2020 to 2024 has left a lasting stain on our brand, particularly with rural voters and male voters. The term Latinx was despised even by many Latino people. Calling folks “BIPOC” should have never been a thing. “Defund the police” was a terrible idea. Polling shows that nearly 70 percent of Americans think the Democratic Party is “out of touch” and that it is more interested in social issues than economic ones.
