This is illegal. This is authoritarianism. This is what dictators do.

Trump is lying about this shutdown. Heโ€™s hiding the jobs report. And heโ€™s hiding the Epstein files. Enough.

Hereโ€™s what Trumpโ€™s shutdown is really about: gutting health care.

The ACA. Medicaid. Vaccines.

Driving up costs, cutting off care, and putting millions at risk. Health care is a right.

Trump and Republicans callous cuts have already created a health care crisis. Now they want to shutdown the government. I wonโ€™t vote for a budget that abandons families. We need to protect careโ€”not cut it.

Kimmel came back and said it best: satire holds power in democracy. Authoritarians know that and will continue trying to crush it when they feel threatened. We must continue to defend free press and the First Amendment.

At the UN, Trump called climate change a โ€œcon job.โ€ The only con is Trump himselfโ€”a Big Oil sellout willing to sacrifice our planet for profit. We need climate action, not climate denial.

ABC just ripped Jimmy Kimmel off the air indefinitely. This comes just hours after the FCC Chair threatened ABC and Disney. And weeks after Colbert was cancelled. This isnโ€™t freedom of speech. This is MAGA overreach.

Repealing the Endangerment Finding means declaring greenhouse gases harmlessโ€”despite what years of science and evidence show. Iโ€™ll keep fighting so our children inherit clean air, not pollution.

Former CDC Director Monarez confirmed what we already knew: RFK Jr. is undermining vaccine science, pushing harmful policy changes without evidence, and firing those who stand for facts.

RFK must resign.

Donald Trump didnโ€™t call in the National Guard when violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol.

Now heโ€™s using them to occupy D.C.โ€”to criminalize poverty, to intimidate protest, to make America hate again.
