We're at the Supreme Court today defending trans kids' freedom to play the sports they love.

Politicians are hoping to use this issue to legitimize their effort to push transgender people out of public life — we won’t allow it.

This case is about more than a game.

Noem says hundreds more ICE agents are expected to arrive in Minneapolis today and tomorrow. Please be prepared. Set up a network, check on neighbors regularly, know your rights, and have an action plan in place and ready.

Just a few images from yesterday's May Day rally where well over 1,000 people showed up on a weekday evening. And we were just one of hundreds of May Day rallies across the nation. We are the many.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

I don't think that this is what any of us voted for - Republican or Democrat.

If you make between $28,600 and $157,500/year, your taxes will INCREASE-on average, up to $1,530. While services decline dramatically.

If you make more than $914,900/year, your tax bill will DECREASE by $36,320.

What do you call it when someone takes power and money from Congress (and their States) - and then demands loyalty in exchange for a return of a small part of that money?

'Cause that's where we are now.
