We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

🚨 Dr. Susan Monarez, the fired head of the CDC, just testified that RFK Jr. told her that Trump backed his move to weaken childhood vaccine standards.

Just in case anyone was believing the bs about there being any real distance between RFK and Trump on vaccine conspiracies.

The U.S. has provided medical care to the heroes and survivors of 9/11 through the World Trade Center Health Program, under NIOSH.

The Trump admin and Congress should commemorate today by reinstating all NIOSH workers so they can resume WTCHP’s operations.

CALL: Reverse Gutting of Core Worker Safety Agency, NIOSH

Due to Elon Musk and his unaccountable DOGE, we are facing one of the largest mass firings of federal workers in history, including highly technical federal workers who keep us safe on the job. More...

Under this administration, a federal program created to provide medical treatment for 9/11 first responders has been underfunded and understaffed. We won’t let this go on. www.afscme.org/blog/this-ad...

This administration is forgetting the sacrifice of 9/11 responders

Under this administration, a program Congress created to treat 9/11 first responders is being starved of resources.

The Supreme Court just decided that it’s okay for ICE to profile people for the way they look or the language they speak.

Arizona has been here before and we remember the damage it caused in our communities. This is unacceptable.

Trump refers to the Kennedy Center as the "TRUMP/KENNEDY CENTER"

GREAT Nominees for the TRUMP/KENNEDY CENTER, whoops, I mean, KENNEDY CENTER, AWARDS. They will be announced Wednesday. Tremendous work is being done, and money being spent, on bringing it back to the absolute TOP LEVEL of luxury, glamour, and entertainment. It had fallen on hard times, physically, BUT WILL SOON BE MAKING A MAJOR COMEBACK!!! President DJT

As if we didn’t know what Trump and his flunkies think of women, Pete Hegseth recently posted a video which advocated that women shouldn’t vote and should “submit” to their husbands

But real men aren’t afraid of women. We respect them-based on their intellect and competence, not their appearance
