Trump is required by LAW to get $220 million for childhood literacy programs out the door to benefit students. Secretary McMahon couldn't even provide a basic timeline to do so. Trump's illegally impounding YOUR taxpayer dollars—meant to help kids learn to read—to cut taxes for billionaires.

Trump's Big Bill: -Expands his power to ignore court rulings -Gives the ultra-wealthy an even bigger estate tax break -Disqualifies nearly 2M children from the child tax credit -Adds unnecessary red tape that would kick millions of people off Medicaid It's a big, ugly mess.

The legendary Japanese baseball player Shigeo Nagashima has passed away at the age of 89. For those unfamiliar with Japanese baseball, his impact on Japan is comparable to what Derek Jeter is to the United States. He was an icon of the game and a national hero. He will be missed.

Trump is steering taxpayer funds to Palantir, founded by another South African billionaire Peter Thiel (who bankrolled Vance’s rise), to create a database on us all. Here was Thiel stammering & sweating with Piers👇🏽 Protestors: “They are proud to make a killing off of killing.”

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

Reps. Jayapal, Randall, and Dexter visited Tacoma’s ICE detention center unannounced, uncovering serious concerns: no outdoor time and no access to emergency calls. These are human lives that deserve dignity and oversight. We must demand transparency and accountability.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was deliberately murdered for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

We have a US Senator who: Is a woman, but ok with stripping women’s rights. A military veteran, but ok with stripping veteran’s benefits. A survivor or sexual abuse, but ok with supporting multiple abusers. Now she tells her constituents to go ahead and die. What will it take???
