Our midterm election coverage will include not only CBS News polling data, but also integrated data from Kalshi, our prediction market sponsor. We'll offer a glimpse into how prediction market traders are pricing race outcomes – but it will be the voters that decide it all.

Jeff Bezos is spending $200 billion on AI and robotics. Jeff Bezos is replacing hundreds of thousands of his workers at Amazon with robots. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. What a surprise. The Washington Post doesn’t want a moratorium on AI data centers.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist. Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard. We can and must stop this.

Tricia McLaughlin, the mouthpiece of DHS, posted a private jet photo to her Instagram. It was recently revealed that her husband’s company won a subcontract on a non-competed $220M contract from DHS, in a deal described by experts as “corrupt” and “worthy of an investigation.”

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability. But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down. They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe. My heart is with the victim, her loved ones, & the Minnesota community.

Millions of older & disabled Americans are struggling to survive. Now, Trump wants to completely deny Social Security benefits to hundreds of thousands of older Americans with disabilities. Tax breaks for billionaires. A death sentence for older Americans. We must fight back.

.@MayorBowser’s “gratitude” to Trump ignores what Washingtonians are seeing in their schools and neighborhoods every day: kids terrified, families afraid to leave home, masked men snatching innocent people off the street in unmarked cars. This is not safety. This is occupation.

D.C. Mayor Bowser: We "greatly appreciate" the surge. "The difference between this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents a 87% reduction in carjackings" in the city, she says, adding that "neighborhoods feel safer and are safer" because of it.
