The govt should facilitate what we can't do individually & companies don't do. Think food safety, public education, roads & bridges. The ACA essentially ended denials & price gouging for preconditions. Gave under 26 yo & uninsured a shot at having healthcare + much more-

This is very concerning.
No President gets to dictate what schools teach. No college should be forced to support any political agenda or risk losing funding for cancer research.
It’s well past time for Republicans to join us—grow a spine—and oppose this latest illegal action to control our schools.

The degree that the Republican Party has been compromised by the Russian Federation is the great under-reported story of our time. Nothing like this has ever happened.
In another nod to Putin, Trump administration officials inform European diplomats that the US will no longer fund programs that train and equip militaries in eastern European countries that would be on the frontline of any conflict with Russia. www.ft.com/content/0157...

Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C.

Me too. We've got this!
I will show up to be counted, I will not allow them to make me a spectacle, use me as an excuse to crack down.
I will not run when they charge, I will sit, with peace & dignity because I know I am on the right side of history.
Showing up is the most important step to fighting back.
