We all know people with disabilities. We all know withing our families or friends families people who have benefitted from education programs now getting terminated. This is who they are? Who are we? Are we just going to let this happen?

Opinion | Trump's mass firings strike a hammer blow against Americans with disabilities

The GOP once supported special education programs. Recent dismissals at the Education Department put an end to that support.

The Young Republicans worship the same ideologies as the old Republicans. We should only be surprised that this leaked, not that it was happening in the first place.

Haley Robson, a survivor of Epstein’s abuse — and a Trump voter — asked Speaker Johnson if he’s keeping the House out of session to delay Rep. Thomas Massie & my bill to release the files. She hasn’t gotten a response.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about justice for survivors.

There was no Black member of Congress in SC from 1893 until Clyburn in 1992. Tomorrow, the Trump Admin is urging the Court to strike down the 1982 provisions to the Voting Rights Act that made the dilution of the Black vote illegal. Pay attention.

Today the GOP Supreme Court will hear a case focused on the Voting Rights Act. We can expect the GOP justices to strike down what is left of the law because that is what the GOP wants. The GOP's goal is a return to whites only political power. That is what MAGA is about.

Only Mississippi and Louisiana fared worse in the new analysis, which looks not just at crime stats but factors such as workplace and road safety.

Columbia Airport officials and legal counsel determined the message was overtly political and violated the federal Hatch Act, which prohibits the use of public resources for partisan political activity. Yay!

Vile. But we should’ve known they were. Still it’s shocking. As a southerner perhaps I shouldn’t be but I was. I’m disappointed in corporate media but that’s my mantra lately.

Dean Obeidallah @deanobeidallah.bsky.social · 1h

Young Republican leaders from across nation were caught sharing openly racist, anti-Semitic, sexist and pro-fascist messages. Yet the corrupt corporate media all but ignores it. I'm not ignoring it! This deserves far more coverage. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/young-gop-...

Young GOP leaders racist, fascist, anti-Semitic and sexist messages are vile--but perfectly sum up MAGA

Protecting healthcare in Florida and the Republican led Congress is a sham.

Do Floridians have a chance at justice with the Hope Florida scandal? It is NOT as DeSantis claims, "...a manufactured political operation."

It stinks of money laundering, Medicaid theft, and electioneering fraud.

At one of those schools, Global Academy of South Carolina, only 17 percent of students have the required immunizations, according to a separate state report. The other public school had only 85% immunized against measles.
