🌍 Today is #EarthOvershootDay, 8 days earlier than last year.
😱 This means that we have already used up 1 year's worth of resources, and the rest of the year will be tapping into future resources.
💪 We need climate action now.

Today we forced Trump to release $1.3 billion for more than 10,000 summer & afterschool programs helping 1.4 million students.
It's not enough. He's still illegally withholding $5.5 billion more from schools.
Congress passed it. The president signed it. Trump must release it.

Thank you for speaking up, this is a win! After growing bipartisan pressure, the Trump administration has agreed to release $1.3 billion in previously frozen federal funding for after-school programs across the country.

For many local public radio stations, rescission is an existential threat. The federal funding received by nearly 500 stations throughout the U.S. directly supports the local services they provide and communities they serve. Tell your Senator to #SavePublicRadio and oppose rescission at goACPR.org

Hours after ICE became the highest federal law enforcement agency in America history (and likely in world history), the Supreme Court lifts the last obstacle to ICE deporting people to any random country around the world, even in conflict zones or where migrants are enslaved.
Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor & Jackson (and a rare concurrence from Justice Kagan), #SCOTUS "clarifies" that its 6/23 ruling staying a district court's injunction against third-country removals *also* applies to the district court's later order requiring a remedy for those already removed:

While Republicans celebrate the passage of the largest Medicaid cut in history, the Curtis Medical Center in Nebraska announced it will shut down as a result of these horrific cuts — the first of many hospitals to close.
This is a dark day for rural America and for our country.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of the DOGE. Please don’t be distracted by this—it was only done because federal judges were questioning who was actually running the operation. Gleason is completely controlled by Musk, and he is doing this to avoid testifying.
