The Trump administration planned to kick thousands of American seniors off of their disability benefits.

We pushed back — and now, they're backing off.

Public pressure works. Keep fighting back.

The Department of Education is proposing a definition that could strip nurse practitioners and CRNAs of “professional degree” status.

Chiropractors keep it. Nurses risk losing it. And that change would fall hardest on women in healthcare.

This is political and it is sexist.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that-because of the changes mandated by the Big Ugly Bill-approximate 3 million Americans will lose their SNAP benefits

Trump and his MAGA cronies will soon be starving a lot of children and seniors

Members of the military take an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to obey the orders of the president too.

I guess they never imagined the president could present the threat to the Constitution, but here we are.

To recap: My law firm represented Black and Latino voters in striking down Texas' new congressional map.

The dissenting opinion mentions George Soros 17 times and me and my law firm 3 times (all about how connected to Soros I allegedly am). I have never seen anything like it.
In a remarkable and deeply unconventional dissent, U.S. Circuit Judge Jerry E. Smith unleashed a blistering and bizarre attack on his fellow judges after a federal court struck down Texas’ unconstitutional racial gerrymander. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So to get the two votes, rather than re-draft a no bill in the Comey case and present the new indictment to the grand jury, Halligan had the foreperson sign the new charges while a second grand juror WATCHED? Did Halligan just cuck justice?

We believe this is a credible threat to public health workers and have reported it to the FBI: 1‑800‑CALL‑FBI (tips.fbi.gov), and GBI 770-216-3000. You can report it too.
