Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.

MUSK is a BILLIONAIRE!! Why are OUR taxes paying for this? THIS is fraud, waste, & abuse.

The longstanding animus between Steve Bannon and Elon Musk encapsulates a key tension at the heart of the MAGA movement. It pits those like Bannon, who want Trump to carry out a more fully populist agenda, against ultrawealthy interests, epitomized by Musk, who occupy key positions in Trump’s orbit.
The Populist vs. the Billionaire: Bannon, Musk and the Battle Within MAGA
President Trump has made clear he wants to keep both men and their allies within his movement, but the tensions are growing.

🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states.

We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases.

The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.
