Our team is presenting at this week. Before the conference last year - I had just handed back another litter of foster kittens to the shelter.

Pete Buttigieg’s efforts to help Dems regain power are taking on a new focus: state legislatures.
He is backing a crop of mostly long-shot, down-ballot Dems in Indiana – the first move in what his team says will be a number of state-by-state endorsements.

The DHS quietly implemented major changes to a federal immigration database originally created to check immigration status for those seeking public benefits. The database can now be used as a "voter verification" tool, making it easier to remove voters from the rolls.
