Walmart 2025 TDay meal. Will Trump be eating this meal + “surroundings”?

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

How airlines lobbied away your flight compensation After a $62 billion federal bailout, the airline industry secures the repeal of a key consumer protection.

The decision to reverse the proposed consumer protections, which are very popular, came after an aggressive lobbying campaign by Airlines for America and individual airlines.

The industry used its influence, cash, and flattery to get their way.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Step up & donate- #npr Adopt a public media station & give them $$s to ensure continued access to unbiased, thoughtful, local & national news coverage & programming that informs & educates us as citizens of a representative democracy. Give now!

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

Oklahoma Is Asking the Supreme Court to Ignore History The founders had disagreements about the role of religion in America’s public schools, but there was always one line they would not cross.

Oklahoma is forcing the Supreme Court to choose: Either the justices can allow more religious control of public schools, or they can respect the wishes of the Founding Fathers, writes Adam Laats.

One thing that is interesting/perplexing to me, an author whose books have been banned, is that I'm constantly being asked to talk about how the book bans affect libraries and readers. This is important, but why not ask me, an author, how book bans affect authors? This could be relevant.

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

"House Republicans, in the middle of a financial crisis, when Donald Trump is ruining our alliances...the thing that the House Republicans spent time on is to try to disenfranchise millions of voters."

Dems that voted FOR Voter Suppression Act (aka SAVE Act):

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez-Washington
Ed Case-HI (202)225-2726
Jared Golden-ME (202)225-6306
Henry Cuellar-TX (202)225-1640

You know what to do.

No statements on either Ed Case or Jared Golden’s websites & DC staffers unable to say if any forthcoming.

Call DC offices & demand to know why they voted for SAVE Act/Voter Suppression Act & stop w/“non citizen voters” BS.

Case: 2022252726
Golden: 2022256306
@golden.house.gov

Also, if Commerce Sec. Lutnick was my son-in-law I'm thinking he could probably cover my missed SS checks and I wouldn't need to call SS - I'd just call him (because he's my son-in-law).
