On August 19, 2024, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will launch a groundbreaking initiative known as the "Path to Citizenship" program. This program marks a significant shift in US immigration policy, offering a beacon of hope to over 500,000 undocumented foreign national spouses and 50,000 foreign national stepchildren of US citizens who entered the country without proper documentation. The program's primary aim is to provide these individuals with a clear pathway to permanent residency and, ultimately, citizenship. A key component of this initiative is the implementation of immigration parole, which allows eligible non-citizens to reside and work in the United States without fear of deportation.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Kamala Harris’ whirlwind process to select Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate can be summed up in a word: weird. With President Joe Biden and Harris, his vice president, seeking a second term together, Democrats weren’t supposed to have a veep search at all. But as soon as the 81-year-old president ended his campaign and endorsed Harris, it was go time. And there was no playbook for the newly elevated candidate and a vetting team that in a normal campaign would have months, not days, to make such a critical decision.

It was a scene to behold: a union president delivering a booming, barn-burner speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee—“the first Teamster in our 121-year history” to address the Republican Party, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien told the cheering crowd. While the union hasn’t endorsed former President Donald Trump (yet), O’Brien’s appearance—and Trump’s pick of Ohio Senator and “ Hillbilly Elegy ” author J.D. Vance as his running mate—aimed to solidify the bizarre notion that the Republican ticket is pro-labor and “ economic populist .”
