The latest edition of From the Politics Desk newsletter highlights the significant fundraising success of vocal anti-Trump progressives in the Democratic Party. Senators Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have all raised millions in campaign contributions, even though they are not facing competitive races in the near future. Despite being in non-election years, these Democrats have gathered unprecedented amounts of funds, with some experts attributing this to their heavy spending on social media ads. The newsletter also covers other news related to the Trump presidency, including legal battles over deportations, lawsuits, and backlash against recent immigration policy changes by the administration. Specifically, a recent decision by the Department of Homeland Security to send Afghan and Cameroonian asylum-seekers back to their countries has drawn criticism for potentially endangering their lives. The move has raised concerns about due process and humanitarian considerations in the treatment of immigrants and asylum-seekers by the current administration. The newsletter also provides updates on political developments such as Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik’s potential run for governor of New York, Sen. Joni Ernst’s new Democratic challenger in Iowa, and former President Joe Biden’s remarks on Social Security. The overall content aims to provide readers with a comprehensive overview of the latest political news and analysis from the NBC News Politics team.
