Today we honor the rich history, culture, and resilience of Indigenous communities—past and present.

As we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, let’s commit to telling the truth about our history, protecting sacred lands, and fighting for justice that includes everyone.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released.

Stop the shutdown - release the files!

Kamala Harris: “They are using fear to silence their critics. We have a president using the bully pulpit not to bring down the cost of food, not bringing down unemployment, not bringing down inflation, but instead attacking a satirist in Jimmy Kimmel for criticizing him”

Admin has played its hand so poorly from the day in march they deported him contrary to orders to today that he actually may see freedom (US promised that would never happen) at least temporarily.

It's official:

-2025 is now a more threatening year for the survival of the republic than 1968.

-John Roberts will now go down in history as a worse chief justice than Roger "Dred Scott" Taney.

Important piece by Prof. Kate Andrias. This is why treating SCOTUS as the only word on the Constitution gives away our power as citizens.

As I frequently say “we are founders and framers” of the next iteration of democracy in this country.

But Biden tripped once on the stairs! oh and couldn't get his foot out of the pedal on his bike once and fell over! so how could the press mention that trump is in late stage dementia?

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

If you look closely at the indictments of James Comey and Letitia James, you will find something very interesting. Both of them contain a tremendous amount of, what we refer to as, “bullshit”.
