The President seems unwell. From his physical symptoms to his visible cognitive decline, the American people deserve clear answers about his ability to serve. I’ve formally called on the White House Physician to provide transparency and the truth about President Trump’s health.

Black parents don't have a choice to decide if they want to have this talk with their kids. White parents need to step up.

A federal judge ruled on Friday that there was a “realistic likelihood” that the indictment filed against Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the immigrant who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador in March and then brought back to face criminal charges, amounted to a vindictive prosecution by the DOJ.

On this day in 1991 Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Few believed her claims then, not enough people believed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and too few listened to Kamala Harris in 2024. See a pattern? Believe women, burn the patriarchy.

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.

I find that the most vocal, vehement bigots are also just the worst, most pathetic examples of spoiled mayonnaise ever.

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

A Black child’s meltdown is seen as aggression 😕
A white child’s meltdown is seen as a cry for help 🙂‍↔️
This double standard costs lives, opportunities, and dignity.

CNN later posted an edited version on their YouTube account without that phrase.

Did Stephen Miller say Trump has 'plenary authority' on CNN?

"Plenary authority" refers to full or limitless power over a sphere of government, such as the military.

Federal employees across the government are now receiving layoff notices, a devastating outcome of Trump’s political games. It’s outrageous that he would use people’s livelihoods as pawns to “score political points”.

Haha! Is that why the horseman is headless? We got our dog a coat to wear when it was 6° out and he immediately chewed it off. And promptly rolled in the snow.
