Inside the fight to save Texas’ Native American studies course Savion Horn watched as “before” and “after” images appeared on a screen at the front of his classroom: black-and-white photos of boys and girls, much younger than him and his classmates, first with faces framed by long hair and traditional clothing, then with their locks cut, wearing high-necked dresses and stiff button-ups. For Horn, then a high school senior at Grand Prairie High School near Dallas and a descendant of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, it was his first in-depth lesson on the boarding schools where the U.S. government sent hundreds of thousands of Native American children in the 19th and 20th centuries with the goal of assimilating them and eradicating Native culture.

We have no bigger obligation than to look after each other.

That's why I introduced the Nurses Belong in Nursing Homes Act with @wyden.senate.gov to restore safe staffing ratios in nursing homes for the 1.2 million Americans and their families that rely on them.

Former Prince Andrew arrested following Epstein files revelations Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his birthday Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Even princes are not above the law.

Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of an email showing former prince Andrew allegedly shared state information with Epstein.

On Feb 9th, I called on King Charles to investigate & answer questions.

UPDATE: I’ve been at the Northwest Detention Facility for over 3 hours and am still being denied my congressional duty to conduct oversight.

What are they so afraid of that they won't let me meet with detainees?

I will not give up.

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

words projected on the front of the USIP building that say “Trump destroyed this Institution, imposing his name on the building, a narcissistic attempt to associate himself with peacemaking.”

words projected on the front of the USIP building that say “Trump destroyed this Institution, imposing his name on the building, a narcissistic attempt to associate himself with peacemaking.”

New — This was projected on the US Institute of Peace building this evening ahead of the first meeting tomorrow of Trump’s farcically-named “Board of Peace.”

Photo taken by person who was over there tonight. Unclear who’s behind the projection.

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

Idaho House Votes, Passes Trans Bathroom Ban In Private Businesses As Bill Rockets Through Legislature The bathroom ban bill will now go to the senate.

1. Terrible news for trans people in Idaho.

The state's House just passed one of the first private business bathroom bans in the United States.

It allows you to sue any private business that lets trans people pee if you think they're in the wrong bathroom.

The Bad Voting Bill that Refuses to Die The SAVE Act would stop millions of eligible Americans from voting.

The SAVE Act would make voting harder for millions of Americans. It’s based on the lie that noncitizens routinely vote in our elections — the truth is that noncitizen voting is already illegal and vanishingly rare.
