@mcbride.house.gov is right. It’s hard enough being a kid — and politicians don’t need to make it harder.
Thank you, Congresswoman, for speaking out against the cruel Republican attacks on health care for trans youth.

I don't seem to remember Trump bombing the Sackler Family when they were suspected of illegally flooding the country with opioids.
His administration shielded them from having to pay restitution.

The quickest and easiest inoculation against getting scammed is..accepting that you could definitely fall for it and need to be vigilant. You may still get scammed, but at least you won't be shamefaced about it!
There's a tendency to look at these after the fact and go "I would never fall for this" but I have definitely gotten emails from journalists or public figures I don't know, done 5-ish minutes of googling and replied. At first it looks like a totally harmless, plausible message!

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.
We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.
