AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

Trump doesn't have “conflicts of interest” anymore. A “conflict of interest” sounds like an unfortunate situation where Trump might choose his own interests over the nation’s. But Trump isn’t conflicted about anything. He's the most corrupt president in American history.

The Trump administration fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla D. Hayden as part of their sweeping book ban efforts. One of the titles removed? Freckleface Strawberry, a children’s book about self-acceptance. Seriously, who gets offended by that?

If you’re concerned about the impact of the proposed budget on Federal funding of science but aren’t sure what to say when you call your elected officials, remember that a coalition of professional societies representing nearly 100,000 scientists signed an open letter about this a few weeks ago. 🧪
