BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc.

But it won't be DOJ.
It won't be the SEC.
It won't be Congress.

You know who CAN investigate this?

NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

Bet Tish will !

A protest scene with demonstrators holding signs advocating for Mahmoud Khalil's release. The text overlay reads "MAHMOUD KHALIL CASE JUST RULED ON." In a text box below reads β€œAn immigration judge in Louisiana ruled on Friday that Palestinian student protest leader Mahmoud Khalil can be deported on the basis of a letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling Mahmoud’s presence a β€œforeign policy threat.”

A man is being deported for using his voice. If free speech leads to detention and deportation, this is only the beginning. If Khalil isn't safe, none of us are safe. #FreeMahmoud #FreeKhalil #DefendDissent #BringThemBack

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation.

When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for.

Unacceptable.

There's something needs to be said:
You don't need to be gay to stick up for your gay friends
Or trans to stick up for your trans friends
Or Jewish or Muslim or Hindu or black or white
You only need to be good people
To stick up for your friends

One Love

Trump is targeting law firms that defend federal employees, expanding his campaign of retaliation against lawyers he opposes. A new memorandum threatens to use government power to punish any firm that, in his view, unfairly challenges his administration.
