I was excited to sign a law to fund summer learning programs. We’ve committed to investments for the next 3 summers, so educators and communities can start planning early. Keeping kids reading and engaged year-round helps them be successful!

A historical image of Martin Luther King Jr. Overlaying his image is a quote stating “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” The overlay text states, “WE MUST DROWN OUT THE SILENCE.” The text box below reads "Mahmoud Khalil is not alone. He is part of a growing list of people being targeted for their beliefs. His deportations should not just be seen as an attack on his family, it is a warning to all of us. But we are not afraid to speak. And we will not be silent. Say his name. Share his story. Demand his release. #FreeMahmoud #DefendDissent #BringThemBack"

My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA.

I expect new cases will be filed this week.

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing.
Emergency powers? He’s abusing them.

Malignant echoes of the Census Bureau releasing street address-level data about American citizens of Japanese ancestry during WWII. A disgusting betrayal.

Ousted FDA vaccine chief says U.S. measles elimination status under threat as cases climb The Texas outbreak reached 505 confirmed cases on Tuesday. Most infections are in children.

“Given the current measles outbreak, anything less than a wholehearted full-court press to get many more children vaccinated against measles, above 90% across the country, is a public health failure,” said Dr. Peter Marks.

The Long Journey and Short Life of Gurupreet Kaur How trying to cross the border the right way can still go terribly wrong.

Since 2000, more than 6 million people have tried to cross through the brutal and beautiful landscape of Arizona’s Sonoran desert. Since the mid-1990s, at least 4,177 people have died, largely from dehydration and hyperthermia.

This is the story of one family. Thank you for reading and sharing.

Trump’s Most Dangerous Power Grab From Marc | It was only a matter of time before Trump's executive order targeting free and fair elections was challenged in court.

Trump is not done attacking our elections. He and his supporters plot every day to undermine the right to vote. They are constantly looking for opportunities to exploit weaknesses in the election system. This is their top priority.

The question for us is whether it is ours as well.

Objects in Mirror Are Farther Than They Appear Life-Saving Water on El Camino Del Diablo

One month before 14 men died on The Devil’s Highway, @humaneborders.bsky.social applied to install a water station nearby, but they were denied.

Now, they maintain a series of stations that provide life-saving water to people fleeing poverty and violence.

This is a report of my first water run.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

Abortion pill prescriptions are now being tracked in parts of the US — with help from a little-known tech company Louisiana has started monitoring abortion pills. Some other states are likely to follow suit. It could have disastrous consequences for patients.

If you missed this Business Insider article about the company tracking abortion pill prescriptions, fix that immediately. This is exactly the kind of reporting we need right now. www.businessinsider.com/abortion-med...

Trump administration withdraws nomination of David Weldon for CDC director The White House has withdrawn the nomination of David Weldon, a former Florida congressman, to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

BREAKING: Weldon's nomination for CDC director has been withdrawn! Per AP he didn't have the votes. Excellent! In the mean time, this gives CDC the opportunity to continue to helplessly "misunderstand" orders, re-request written clarifications, etc. Ahem leadership. 👀

Contribution of vaccination to improved survival and health: modelling 50 years of the Expanded Programme on Immunization Since 1974 substantial gains in childhood survival have occurred in every global region. We estimate that EPI has provided the single greatest contribution to improved infant survival over the past 50...

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.

Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill.

NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want.

NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.

We need to push back.

Morning update: NO on cloture. NO on the CR. We’re fighting this bad bill that cuts Americans a terrible deal with everything we’ve got.

Mahmoud Khalil's rights should be defended for their own sake, and for his unborn child's sake, but they should also be defended on principle and for all of our sakes. The slope is slippery; the rights are crucial.

Tremendous news

How about Musk?
