Sorry to step away from the catfight, but we’ve got a win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps halting the termination of grants and its volunteer network!

Federal funding cuts hit NC farmers who sold to local public schools Trump administration funding cuts are ending a program that put $5 million of local produce on the lunch trays of students across North Carolina this year.

Harnett County Schools were receiving $86,739.82 annually in locally sourced produce from area farmers. Losing this is a blow not just to our children, but to our farmers as well. These dollars supported our local economy, helped sustain farms, and fed our kids. www.wunc.org/education/20...

69-year-old woman denied Real ID over missing 50-year-old marriage record Jane Schleppenbach is 69 years old and a veteran.

Whether you get a Real ID or passport, the need is the same: birth certificate and certified copies of marriage license/divorce. Wait until the Real ID is required to vote. Men don't have to go through the same hoops as women do to get the Real ID. www.fox19.com/2025/05/06/6...

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Great example - and explanation - of authoritarian propaganda here from Van Hollen, as he explains the lengths that the autocrat Bukele went to in order to influence public perception with those margarita glasses, and how Trump propagated it as well.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA):

"I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

I volunteer with a group that supports seniors in low-income apartments, scraping by on an average of $800 a month. Meanwhile, this smug, privileged SOB wouldn’t recognize empathy if it hit him in the faceβ€”he’s completely rotten to the core.

What an absolute disgrace! Trump & Vance have humiliated the United States on the world stage. Diplomacy isn't a public spectacle - it's a serious endeavor. These 2have turned it into a farce, making a mockery of our nation. Their behavior has jeopardized our alliances & emboldened our adversaries.
