Marian Anderson was barred from singing at Constitution Hall because she was Black.

Eleanor Roosevelt resigned from the Daughters of the American Revolution in protest.

The concert moved to the Lincoln Memorial.
75,000 people listened.

History remembers the voice they tried to silence.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

β€˜Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students β€” and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.

Pundits think Democrats will take back the House in November

But folks-I’m telling you now

If we REALLY want to change our government and stop the Trump junta

We need to grab control of the Senate, too

And that starts with Roy Cooper in North Carolina

Game on, people!

Take NOTHING for granted

Trump and Elon Musk did this, cutting ALL of our aid to African nations, letting people starve to death and die without basic medical care. Curses on DOGE!

Here we go again, America. We have to give a President another blank check and give him as much as he wants to shoot unlimited $20 million interceptors at $20,000 drones and if we don’t we are unpatriotic so pay up.

There Is More Than One Way to Kill Mail-in Voting On Tuesday in Texas, Democratic voters in Dallas and Williamson Counties, Texas, had their work cut out for them if they wanted to vote.

We shouldn’t have to fight just to be able to exercise a right, but primary night in Texas made it clear we will have to. Here’s what you need to know and how to get ready to do it.

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East.

She lied.

One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on.

This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.

The company has no headquarters. No website. No prior federal contracts.

It was incorporated 8 days before receiving the contract.

Its registered address belongs to a political operative.
