Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. Sheโ€™s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isnโ€™t comingโ€”itโ€™s already here.

Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the mediaโ€™s playing dead.

This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.
