A friend with Project HOME in Maine is asking for urgent help.

With ICE descending on neighborhoods, people are afraid to go to work—cutting off income and putting families at immediate risk of eviction.

This is a solidarity fund: 100% of donations go straight to rent.

All donations support households unable to cover housing costs due to loss of income from ICE enforcement and fear of detention Families in our community are facing an immediate housing crisis. When p...

Worth remembering, as Trump tries to brutalize blue states over alleged TANF fraud: Mississippi's former welfare director ran TANF as a private slush fund, routing tens of millions to churches, wrestlers, and celebrity pet projects (including Brett Favre's)—while rejecting over 90% of poor families.

NEW: Text messages reveal the strange relationship that John Davis, the former Mississippi official who directed millions in welfare dollars to sports celebrities, shared with WWE wrestlers Ted DiBiase Jr. and Brett DiBiase.

"It is me who tried to buy your love," he wrote in one text read in court.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

This level of barbarity is unconscionable.

Nobody should be comfortable with children and families starving to death.

It is morally indefensible to allow the manufactured and man-made starvation to continue. The United States must stop funding and enabling this genocide.

The Senate will soon vote on Trump’s Tax Scam, which would gut Medicaid and SNAP to fund more tax cuts for billionaires.

TRUMP'S BIG UGLY BILL: • Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR • Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world • Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans • Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits • Not only cuts funding for green energy but actually taxes it, threatening to balloon energy costs and eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs • Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history

The GOP hid a reckless provision to shield Trump officials from contempt of court in their Medicaid-slashing megabill. We must get Republican senators on the record about that sneak-attack on democracy — and push Democrats to disrupt the GOP’s anti-democracy agenda with every tool at their disposal.

NEW: As the Trump admin is flying Afrikaners here today to be resettled as "refugees," @Sec_Noem is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan — meaning they may start deporting women and allies who protected our troops to the Taliban to be persecuted or killed!
DHS Terminating Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan WASHINGTON – Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem today announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan. The TPS designation for the country expires on May 20, 2025, and the termination will be effective on July 12, 2025. At least 60 days before a TPS designation expires, the Secretary, after consultation with appropriate U.S. government agencies, is required to review the conditions in a country designated for TPS to determine whether the conditions supporting the designation continue to be met, and if so, how long to extend the designation. “This administration is returning TPS to its original temporary intent,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “We’ve reviewed the conditions in Afghanistan with our interagency partners, and they do not meet the requirements for a TPS designation. Afghanistan has had an improved security situation, and its stabilizing economy no longer prevent them from returning to their home country. Additionally, the termination furthers the national interest as DHS records indicate that there are recipients who have been under investigation for fraud and threatening our public safety and national security. Reviewing TPS designations is a key part of restoring integrity in our immigration system.” After consultation with interagency partners, Secretary Noem determined that conditions in Afghanistan no longer meet the statutory requirements. The Secretary’s decision was based on a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services review of the country conditions and in consultation with the Department of State. The Secretary determined that, overall, there are notable improvements in the security and economic situation such that requiring the return of Afghan nationals to Afghanistan does not pose a threat to their personal safety due to ongoing-armed conflict or extraordinary and temporary conditions. She further determined that permitting Afghan nationals to remain t…

Democrats are saying no votes unless the bill includes safeguards against Musk’s illegal & unconstitutional behavior. Republicans are rejecting that, but we need Democrats to hold the line. Make sure they hear from you.

House: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Senate: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
(above an image of Congress) HOUSE DEMOCRATS CAN STOP THE TRUMP-MUSK POWER GRAB IF THEY USE THEIR LEVERAGE IN THE GOVERNMENT FUNDING FIGHT Democrats are in the minority, but that doesn't mean they're without power. Here's how Democrats can stop extreme MAGA cuts and President Musk. HOUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE LEVERAGE - IF THEY USE IT. House Republicans are in chaos, torn between extreme cuts to life-saving programs like Medicaid and shutdown fears. With a March 14 deadline and control of both the White House and Congress, the GOP owns any shutdown failure. Their majority is miniscule and as soon as the government funding bill looks even remotely reasonable, hardline MAGA extremists will revolt. That means the GOP will need Democratic support to pass a budget. Meanwhile, the Trump-Musk coup continues as MAGA tries to illegally raid payment systems, shut down federal agencies, and fire federal workers. The only way Democrats can stop any of this is by fighting like hell and refusing to cooperate. DEMOCRATS NON-NEGOTIABLE DEMANDS PROTECT ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS Demand a budget that stops MAGA looting and protects working families, or Trump's team will slash essential programs and funnel cash to allies. STOP MAGA CORRUPTION Block any budget without strong protections against Trump and MAGA abuse. Without safeguards, Trump and his allies will divert funds while cutting essential programs. No cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, or food assistance-no loopholes, no empty promises. NO EXTREMIST RIDERS Hold the line on a clean government funding bill-no funding cuts to critical programs and no poison pill riders attacking abortion rights, LGBTQ+ protections, or immigrant communities. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP DEMOCRATS FIGHT BACK Whether your representative is a Democrat or a Republican, they need to hear from you right now. IF YOU'RE REPRESENTED BY A DEMOCRAT Ask them to hold the line. Democrats shouldn't vote for anything more than a two-week continuing resolution until the GOP comes to the table to negotiate a responsible budget with safeguards. IF YOU'RE REPRESENTED BY A REPUBLICAN tell them that you don't want to pay the price for the GOP's billionaire tax breaks. Check out the link in our bio to be connected with your Member of Congress.
