He Blazed a Trail to Congress. Now His Seat Is in Peril.

Today an overwhelmingly white Republican Party in Missouri, at the urging of Donald Trump, worked to remove this Christian minister who was active in the SCLC, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, from his seat not through trying to beat him at the ballot box but by picking his voters for him. Shameful.

E.P.A. Is Said to Draft a Plan to End Its Ability to Fight Climate Change According to two people familiar with the draft, it would eliminate the bedrock scientific finding that greenhouse-gas emissions threaten human life by dangerously warming the planet.

Breaking News: The EPA is said to have drafted a plan that would end its ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

We cannot, we MUST NOT forget that, behind this very public discussion are real women, human beings, who suffered incredible pain because of Epstein and his buddies, and they suffered more pain trying to make sure the public knew what he did. We cannot forget about them in this online discourse.

Medicaid does the following:

-Provides 1 in 2 kids health insurance
-Keeps the majority of rehab and skilled nursing facilities open nationwide
-Until today, had a rule in place to ensure minimum nurse staffing for patient safety

This is the program the party of “MAHA” wants to gut.

These allegations of abuse contained in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s new lawsuit against the Trump administration are horrific. @timmiller.bsky.social takes a look at the filing.

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much. "We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve. "Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad. "Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them. "If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following: • Plant a tree. • Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail. • Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do. • Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it. • Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone. • Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something. • Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace. "Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

The Strategic Logic of the No Kings Protests By Leah Greenberg, Indivisible Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director

Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead?

These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.

The Suspension Clause:

1) Doesn't allow the President to unilaterally suspend habeas, especially when Congress is in session;

2) Applies only to cases of invasion or rebellion (this is quite clearly neither); and

3) *Even then,* applies only "when the public safety may require it." (It doesn't.)

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

There's no way back from a suspension of Habeas Corpus. It's a one-man dictatorship then.

And any Republican in office or out who would still support Trump after this is, simply, a traitor to America. www.cnn.com/2025/05/09/p...

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

JD Vance before Ohio State visited the White House

Protesters in Columbus, Ohio are out at the Hands Off! protest!

Thank you, Ohio!

The official White House government account tweeted: “Simply put: WE WILL FIND YOU-AND WE WILL KILL YOU.”

This is a real tweet posted by the official White House government account. Yes, really.

In 15 yrs of reporting, I've never had so many health & biomed researchers & outreach orgs tell me they're afraid to talk w/press or barred from speaking bc of new comms policies.

I understand the fear of losing funds. I don't know if silence does more harm than good. If you can speak up, pls do.

The Trump administration's efforts to end DEI programs is hitting some unexpected targets, including a nationwide effort planting shade trees in neighborhoods to reduce extreme heat. 🔥🔥🔥

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.”

Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

JUST NOW: Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi set the record straight on Social Security.

Everyone needs to hear this.

Today EPA chief Lee Zeldin announced that the agency is rolling back 31 regulations.

He's taking aim at mercury, soot, and toxic pollution restrictions, and federal protection of wetlands.

The EPA will also rewrite rules limiting pollution from fossil-fuel plants and cars, and more.

They even flagged a photo of the Enola Gay because some idiot thought it referred to homosexuality in the military, which is considered DEI.

Homeland Security ends TSA collective bargaining agreement, in effort to dismantle union protections A union representing Transportation Security Administration workers calls the Department of Homeland Security's decision to end the collective bargaining agreement with them an “unprovoked attack.”

Removing TSA workers’ collective bargaining rights is union busting. Period. apnews.com/article/coll...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
