As an attorney, I submitted a FOIA to the DOJ for the names, charges, convictions, & sentences of each of the 1500 insurrectionists Trump pardoned.

Trump wiped clean the DOJ website of their names—which is unacceptable Govt censorship.

Today, the DOJ responded: www.qasimrashid.com/p/i-filed-a-...

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders.

The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people.

Now, they are trying to lie about it.

Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

The media has failed the public on a crucial matter: the derangement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., writes @davidcorn.bsky.social.

News reports often describe him as a vaccine skeptic when he is far more dangerous than that.

The depth of his extremism has not been fully conveyed to the public.

I'm sick to my stomach on this Federal grant and loan “pause”. This means WIC distribution is on hold, impacting food for INFANTS!! Babies eat 6-8times a day and formula is $40+ a can. Nursing isn't always an option because milk supply drops at 3-6mths. Babies might starve for this

UPDATE: This bill was defeated today in the Senate.

This is a victory for government accountability and our First Amendment rights.
aclu.org ACLU @aclu.org · Jan 28
A dangerous bill sanctioning anyone who works with the International Criminal Court is moving quickly through Congress.

H.R. 23 would harshly punish lawyers, academics, and rights advocates — and their family members — for helping the ICC pursue justice for war crimes and other atrocities.

New White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did her first press briefing today and told a number of demonstrable lies (about condoms for Gaza, the criminal records of undocumented migrants, and more).

Musk and his team have hostilely taken over OPM. Tonight’s email to fed employees mirrors the “Fork in the Road” message sent to Twitter (now X) staff after Musk’s 2022 takeover. He is working with the Trump administration to build profiles on federal workers based on loyalty (political standing).

Medicaid covers 41% of all USA births.

Pro life party that constantly screams about "declining birth rates," won't fund universal healthcare, won't fund pre-K, won't fund child tax credit, won't fund school lunches, & now eliminates healthcare needed for 2 of every 5 babies.

This will kill people.

PSA: Take a break from the doom scrolling. One of the most important things you can do today is CALL your elected officials and voice your concerns.

Every call matters as staff keep count of how many care about an issue, which gives officials justification to speak up and fight.

Trump fired the NLRB's pro-worker general counsel and its acting chair.

He's effectively gutted the agency tasked with defending the rights of workers to organize.

Guess who has recently filed lawsuits aimed at invalidating the agency altogether?
