If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses.

Let’s not make it harder to learn.

Only Congress can abolish the Department of Education—not the president. But Trump’s order would gut resources, increase class sizes, cut job training, and make college even more expensive—hurting the students who need support the most.

They are expanding their McCarthyite war on diversity to include people with disabilities, and doing it very clearly. Should someone in a wheelchair be able to work for the FAA? I think an overwhelming majority of Americans would say "of course" but that's not what we're hearing from Trump.

On top of the atrocious proposed legislation below, IN Governor Mike Braun signed an exec. order, making abortions in Indiana public record. Additionally, he defunded Martin Unkversity, Indiana’s only predominantly Black university. His adoration of the felon in the White House is disgusting.
Indiana has become a testing ground for Christian Nationalist legislation straight out of the Project 2025 playbook. Extremist legislators of the supermajority want to control and criminalize anything they don't agree with. Learn more and take action on our bill tracker at MADVoters.org.

In 2020, it became apparent that a lot of people had been asleep in science class.

Well, in 2025, it’s become quite apparent that they slept through history class, too.

When we are powerless to impact the outside world, we can spend time working on our internal world.

Don’t let despair about the world stop you from improving yourself.

The future You might be exactly what the outside world needs.

There’s always something you can do.

This
Trump previously signed an Executive Order banning TikTok, worried it would ruin his reelection chances.
If he "saves" it, he will have simply undone what he originally did—keeping his pattern of creating a non-existent threat, creating an unnecessary emergency, and then taking credit for fixing it.
