The latest edition of From the Politics Desk highlights the significant fundraising successes of prominent anti-Trump progressives in the Democratic Party, including Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Senator Chris Murphy. These politicians, who are not facing competitive races in the upcoming elections, have raised millions of dollars from small donations. Additionally, some of this funding is being directed towards key 2026 battleground races, such as Senator Jon Ossoff in Georgia. The Trump administration is facing legal challenges, including being held in contempt by a federal judge for deportation flights to El Salvador, as well as lawsuits related to transgender athletes, tariffs, and diversity programs in education. One significant recent immigration decision, which went largely unnoticed, involves canceling Temporary Protected Status for Afghan and Cameroonian asylum-seekers, potentially forcing them back to dangerous situations in their home countries. Critics argue that this decision lacks due process and humanitarian concern. Other news items include GOP Representative Elise Stefanik considering a run for governor of New York, Senator Joni Ernst’s first Democratic challenger for 2026, and former President Joe Biden criticizing the Trump administration’s approach to Social Security.
