Celebrated civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson died early Tuesday, his family said in a statement, after battling the neurodegenerative disorder Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). He was 84 years old. "Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world," the Jackson family said. "We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family," it added.

The Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson, the towering civil rights leader whose moral vision and fiery oratory reshaped the Democratic Party and America, has died, his son said. He was 84. Jackson, a protégé of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., had been hospitalized in recent months and was under observation for progressive supranuclear palsy. He died Tuesday morning, surrounded by his family, according to a statement from his nonprofit social justice organization, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. "His unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and human rights helped shape a global movement for freedom and dignity. A tireless change agent, he elevated the voices of the voiceless – from his Presidential campaigns in the 1980s to mobilizing millions to register to vote – leaving an indelible mark on history," the statement read.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who grew up in Jim Crow South Carolina and went on to become a civil rights icon and the first Black male candidate for president of the United States, died Tuesday. He was 84. His daughter, Santita Jackson, confirmed that Mr. Jackson died at home, surrounded by family, The Associated Press said. "Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world," the Jackson family said in a statement posted online. "We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family." Mr. Jackson had been hospitalized briefly in November for his progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP, a rare neurological disorder with symptoms similar to Parkinson's, and was later released.

Tom Homan, the White House border czar, said he is leaving open the possibility of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement deployments in other sanctuary cities even as the administration winds down its enforcement surge in Minnesota. He told CBS' "Face the Nation" that sending agents elsewhere "depends on the situation" and argued that "we need to flood the zone in sanctuary cities with additional agents" if local conditions warrant it.

A social media post cited by Elon Musk to bolster his argument that mail-in voting should be curtailed, and which was subsequently amplified by President Donald Trump, makes the false and long-ago debunked claim that in the 2020 election, "Pennsylvania sent out 1,823,148 mail-in ballots but received back around 2.5 MILLION mail-in ballots." As the Pennsylvania Department of State's final report on the 2020 election shows, there were 2,673,272 mail-in ballot applications approved for the 2020 general election, so that's how many were sent out. And of those, 2,273,490 votes were cast. (See charts 6.2 and 6.3 in the report.) Another 435,932 absentee ballots were also approved, and 374,659 of them were cast. "This claim is based on mixing up statistics from the primary and the general election," Charles Stewart III, director of the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, explained to us via email.
