The federal governmentโ€™s extreme anti-immigrant agenda is putting peopleโ€™s lives at risk โ€“ both in our communities and in detention.

This must end.

Demand that Congress exercise its oversight responsibilities and hold ICE to account at aclu.org/stop-fueling_ice

Indiana Professor Removed From Class Over White Supremacy Lesson

Indiana University, which has now been subordinated to the direct control of the Indiana GOP, announces that criticism of the MAGA movement and doctrines of the GOP is forbidden. An instructor is dismissed for speaking critical words about the MAGA movement.

While farmers in California continue to struggle, Trump is amping up Argentinian beef imports and abandoning American products.

We need to pass @rokhanna.bsky.socialโ€™s bill to restore mandatory country-of-origin labeling and help ensure a fairer marketplace for farmers and ranchers.

WATCH โ€” @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : โ€œMy amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two yearsโ€ฆ a far better use of taxpayer dollars.โ€

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

The American people deserve answers, and itโ€™s time for the DOJ and FBI to provide them.

While we appreciate that the Epstein estate has been transparent, itโ€™s time for the Administration to do their part.

Republicans dropped a last-minute provision into the funding bill that would funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to eight Republican senators.
People can't afford their food or health care and yet, Republicans are only concerned with enriching themselves.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. Itโ€™s erasure of history and itโ€™s straight-up racism.

Physical activity as a modifiable risk factor in preclinical Alzheimerโ€™s disease - Nature Medicine In cognitively normal older adults at risk for Alzheimerโ€™s dementia, physical inactivity was associated with faster tau protein buildup and cognitive decline.

Higher physical activity slows tau accumulation and cognitive decline in preclinical Alzheimer's, suggesting targeting sedentary individuals may enhance prevention efforts.

It's really incredible how the norm against the deployment of the military against Americans at home has completely degraded. What this man is describing is a flagrant violation of Posse Comitatus.

Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.

Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.

Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.

Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Can't stop thinking about Trump building a $300 million ballroom to host black tie dinner parties with fat cats, but refusing to spend $5 billion in emergency funds he's legally obligated to use to prevent 40 million Americans from starving. Dickens couldn't make this shit up.
