“It’s hard to imagine that Trump cares much whether or not his promises work out for the people who believed them, to say nothing of the nation at large. He already has what he wants: freedom from accountability for a lifetime of lawbreaking and an easy way to line his pockets.”

The Trump administration’s attacks on Head Start are an attack on working and immigrant families.

We’re fighting in court to defend people’s access to this essential program.

A chart showing the impact that Trump’s Tax Scam would have on taxpayers in Florida.

The GOP is trying to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts. If you’ve got a Republican senator, demand that they reject Trump’s Tax Scam and stand up for the families they were elected to serve: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

We won’t allow the government to force religion on our students.

Texas, we’ll see you in court.

FACT: There is no way to cut $880 billion from Medicaid without kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance.

Just rampant corruption

Horrifying and sickening

We Need to Talk About This Today’s widely discussed Trump post on Truth Social isn’t just another instance of bad behavior.

For no particular reason, I thought I’d remind folks about the time Trump reposted a full-size, full-color image of a truck that was “decorated” with an unconscious Joe Biden, arms and legs bound as though he’d been kidnapped, during the campaign. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Trump is historically unpopular

Trump has broken his own record for the lowest presidential approval rating at the 100-day mark. app.sosha.ai/s/4SQaFpJg

Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat The defense secretary sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said.

He would have never been appointed by a president who cared about our military. He’s a disgrace to the people in uniform who serve www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

For those wondering if this whole "defying the Constitution to unlawfully detain people and send them to foreign prisons" thing is a worthwhile focus, it has been a hotter 5 Calls topic than both tariffs and Signalgate over the last month...

Students sue Department of Defense for pulling ‘DEI’ books from its school libraries The lawsuit filed by the ACLU accuses the agency of violating the First Amendment rights of students by restricting lessons and library books related to race, gender and sexuality.

The First Amendment protects students’ right to learn.

We're suing the Department of Defense for banning books and censoring lessons about race and gender in military bases worldwide.

We have a call script for that 👍

Hey, Canada 🇨🇦, we’ll let you keep being a sovereign nation if you give us Mark Carney 👨‍🏫 to be US president and confine Donald Trump 🤡/👿 to a remote, no-Internet island in the northernmost reaches of Hudson Bay.

'All Boys Aren't Blue' tops the ALA's list of most challenged books Organized pressure groups, not individual parents, are leading the fight to remove books from shelves, according to a new report from the American Library Association.

The majority of attempted book bans in 2024 were for books about LGBTQ people or people of color.

We have a right to read and learn about our communities, free from censorship.

If the US government can book Kristi Noem for a photo shoot in El Salvador’s jungle prison, DOJ’s claims to have no access or contractual authority sound like a bag of lies

Alabama, don’t let them convince you that you’re alone here. Blue dots are becoming blue blobs ✊

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

I simply do not understand why every frontline senator cannot be as normal as Mark Kelly but then I remember it’s because Republicans shot his wife and gave her brain damage so he actually hates them and understands why they’re bad.

"Do you have any data that confirms our prior?"

Literally zero. Go away.

If you know anyone in North Carolina, let them know about this!!!
