Pursuant to Trump's EO 14202, enacted to "eradicate" alleged anti-Christian bias, Rubio has ordered the State Department's global workforce to root out perceived discrimination by informing on co-workers. GOP: No preferential treatment...unless you're "Christian." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Our libraries and library professionals are keystones of our communities fostering minds and offering services to individuals regardless of background. We must lift them up, especially this National Library Week, and demand that Trump and DOGE do not gut support for these vital institutions.

The reason the party doesn't want Biden is not because of the election. It's because its dominant faction -- the one that thinks the GOP has a fever that will break any minute now, the one that doesn't really want to fight -- got scared and stabbed him in the back. www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe...

Trump plans to kill the U.S. Department of Education, but here’s the problem—it’s unconstitutional. Congress created the department by law in 1979, and only Congress can dismantle it. A president can’t just erase it with an executive order—but Trump can make it impossible for it to function.

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

"It’s the principle that Democrats are wholly unwilling to fight on the same playing field as Republicans. It’s that we seem forever doomed to be the party that allows the parliamentarian to shut down our entire agenda, while the Republicans won’t even let the US Constitution shut down theirs."

It takes several months to complete the FAA Academy and two to four years of on-the-job training to become a certified air traffic controller, but don’t worry, the ones Elon’s DOGEbags want fired will be replaced with “geniuses from M.I.T.” So this is fine. Everything is fine.

This is an attack on Medicaid, & ANYONE who votes on this budget this week is voting to cut Medicaid in America, and voting to gut healthcare for Medicare recipients in America. As a recipient of Medicare and Medicaid, I PLEAD with you to call your member of Congress at 202-224-3121 & say NO CUTS!

Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121
