A police officer was killed and five other people were wounded this morning when a man took medical personnel hostage at a hospital in York, Pennsylvania. Hospitals should be places of healing, not violence. This shouldn’t keep happening.

On April 1st, Wisconsinites will elect a new state Supreme Court justice and decide whether conservatives or progressives have the power to rule on cases dealing with abortion access, voting rights, and more. Vote for Judge Susan Crawford to protect our rights.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Farmers overwhelmingly backed Trump—now they’re feeling the pain and speaking up. Here’s the thing: If you got grants and contracts under Biden, why vote for Trump—who did nothing for you? It’s easier to be angry than well-informed. Harris voters chose their self-interest.

Saturday Feb. 22, at 2:00 pm here in D.C. at the Lincoln Memorial, there's a rally for Ukraine, organized by United Help Ukraine, Razom for Ukraine, and others. Trump may have switched sides. America needn't. unitedhelpukraine.org/events/3-yea...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

"Appeasement at Munich: World Wars, Past and Possible" The symmetry between Germany-Czechoslovakia in 1938 and Russia-Ukraine in 2022 is uncanny, and pausing for a moment on the resemblances might help us to take a broader view of today. snyder.substack.com/p/appeasemen...

Conservative billionaires are funding a coordinated effort to dismantle public education to pay for private school vouchers that largely benefit wealthy families and enable corporations to avoid their fair share in taxes. Now they have a friend in the White House.
