In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

Here’s what will happen to our National Parks if Trump’s budget passes. Did you know America’s national parks actually generate more income than they cost to operate? Yet under Trump’s proposed 2026 budget, the National Park Service (NPS) would face devastating cuts:

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

ICE is teaming up with HUD to separate families—evicting immigrant parents from homes their U.S. citizen kids still qualify for. It’s anti-family. It’s Cruel and wrong. Let’s just use housing policy to as a weapon…to scare, exclude, and remove people without having to pass new laws.

Trump isn’t taking his losses well tonight. Instead of throwing ketchup, he started pardoning gang members, murderers, and convicted felons. Guess he didn’t want to taco ’bout it.
