No Help and Few Options for Travelers Stranded by Mideast Conflict

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

Trump's war on elections is hiding in plain sight False claims that foreign government interference caused him to lose in 2020 have been a staple of the diet of lies Trump feeds to his faithful.

Donald Trump is seeking to collect massive amounts of information β€” including personal and partisan voter data β€” at an unprecedented scale. He is trying to pressure AI companies into allowing unrestricted use of their powerful tools against American citizens. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

The DOW is crashing. Someone let Pam Bondi know so we can talk about the Epstein Files.

I can’t take one more TikTok hot take from someone’s front seat or walking home from the local store or out running. I’m sorry, but how is this helping? It’s the same thing over and over and over. No one is adding anything new to the discourse.

You know what the saddest part of everything going on in the world is? None of this is a surprise. At all. A man stood behind a podium and told the world exactly what he was going to do and then a bunch of people voted for it. We could have had health care, education, and housing

"Parents, not politicians, should guide their children’s reading. In our school, campus, and public libraries, materials are selected by trained literacy professionals who understand child development and community needs. Their work is grounded in one clear purpose: helping young people become lifelong readers.

H.R. 7661 isn’t fundamentally about protecting kids. It’s about giving politicians broad authority to restrict whose stories are allowed on the shelves. That should concern anyone who believes in the freedom to read and the right of families to make decisions for themselves.” - ALA President Sam Helmick

"Rather than targeting librarians and teachers, Congress should invest in them. The Right to Read Act offers a better path, supporting well-staffed and well-resourced school libraries, strengthening evidence-based literacy instruction, and protecting the dedicated professionals who help young people discover books that open doors and expand horizons.

When we trust families, support educators, and protect the freedom to read, our young people thrive.” - ALA President Sam Helmick.

NEW: ALA strongly denounces new federal book banning legislation introduced in Congress, HR 7661.

As ALA President Sam Helmick said, "Parents, not politicians, should guide their children's reading." Call your Rep and tell them to oppose this new bill.

Investigative Post obtained video of Border Patrol abandoning Nurul Shah Alam, the Buffalo refugee.

Border Patrol claimed the shop was open. The doors, however were locked. Agents never notified family or lawyers. Shah Alam died 5 days later.
