| Ilhan Omar Mobilizing Progressives To Push Biden Further Left |
| What Happened: |
| In a recent interview, Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar let slip what all radical progressives have been thinking since Joe Biden clinched the presidential nomination: If he wins the White House, he’ll have to do what they say. According to Omar, that means things like enacting the Green New Deal and Medicare For All. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| With the election just a few days away, voters deserve to know what they’d be getting with a Joe Biden presidency. Hint: Not just a "moderate" Democrat in the White House. |
| What Happens Next: |
| Voters decide who will be president for the next four years! |

| Gov. Abbott Signs Back-The-Blue Pledge In Houston |
| What Happened: |
| Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a pledge this week to support police officers and spoke out against efforts to defund the police. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| As Gov. Abbott stated, calls to cut police budgets "are disgraceful" and "reckless." He continued: "It invites crime into our communities and it endangers law enforcement officers and their families." |
| What Happens Next: |
| The governor has called on the state legislature to pass laws that would stop money from being diverted from law enforcement. For now, police budgets seem safe in the Lone Star State. |
