It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Hearing from a govt contractor that Dept of Education is terminating What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) contracts.
WWC is a website that rigorously evaluates education policies, programs, and products to determine what's effective and not. It's an invaluable tool for school, district, state leaders

What happens after you ask Trump to β€˜have mercy’? Threats, praise and hope. It had been 12 days since the Episcopal bishop of Washington pleaded with President Donald Trump to β€œhave mercy” on immigrants, LGBTQ children and others.

β€œthe applause grew louder and louder until hundreds were standing and clapping: the crowd, the choir, the bishops, all on their feet..."

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Full Access to Treasury’s Payments System Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.Β 
Β 
He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.
Β 
Congress must investigate.

Don't worry. All our allies hate us now, but Vladimir Putin is giddy that Trump is in charge and he is already manipulating him into starting a clash with NATO so he can take over Europe.

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.

Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .

Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?

Thoughts ?
