Weird priorities. President Trump is illegally withholding $7 billion Congress appropriated for afterschool and summer programs, teacher training and other educational needs. Meanwhile, he’s demanding a trillion in tax breaks for the 1%.
That's not what the American people want.

We need “a mandate to action” legislation. If there’s an immediate issue or credible reports of an issue and politicians fail to act, they’re charged as conspirators. As a teacher, I’m a mandated reporter. Politicians need equal standards.

I keep reading doctors, teachers, software engineers and others will be replaced by AI… honestly CEO seems like the best place start replacing jobs with AI. Isn’t even against the best interest of shareholders to pay millions to a CEO when AI can do the job for basically free?

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant.
At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%.

The White House has quietly directed the FBI to halt the background check process for dozens of Trump's top staffers, and transferred the process to the Pentagon. Officials took the unusual step of ordering a stop to the background check investigations after they deemed the process too “intrusive.”

Social security is a set of trust funds with a balance of about $2.7 trillion as of December 2024. We are the source of these funds. It belongs to us. These funds should be protected so we can protect each other. www.ssa.gov/oact/progdat...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention!
This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.
