The Carter Center | Waging Peace, Fighting Disease & Building Hope
The Carter Center is a nongovernmental organization that helps to improve lives by resolving conflicts; advancing democracy and preventing diseases.

I was so moved by the Jimmy Carter funeral today I sent a donation to the CarterCenter.org. I would encourage you to do the same. He was the first President I ever voted for. He and Rosalynn continue to help people and wage peace even after death. Amazing. RIP Jimmy.

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

The U.S. must follow due process. If this administration is going to deport people, make sure they're actually criminals.
The stakes are too high to make mistakes.
Abrego Garcia should be returned immediately.

DOGE is not about efficiency or cost savings. It is about power.
Perhaps the most concise way to think about this is that Musk has pranced around bragging about cracking down on fraud and abuse, finding the bad guys. Meanwhile what he's actually done is enable perhaps the biggest splurge of fraud and tax cheating in history. For him and his pals.
So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.

I was 17 in 1972 and remember being so hopeful then. Who could possibly be against Equal Rights in America? Like freedom and the right to pursue happiness...who could possibly be against it? I still don't understand the opposition. 🤔🤨

Today in history, 1972: The U.S. Senate passes the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and sends it to the states for ratification. Ratification seemed certain until a “conservative” backlash led by Phyllis Schlafly derailed the amendment. /1

BREAKING—Musk has convinced Trump to officially shut down USAID and terminate all USAID-foreign aid to charities. Many legal experts say shuttering USAID violates a law adopted by Congress establishing the agency, and violates laws against impounding Congressionally approved funds.

Not housing the homeless is a policy choice we have made. It is shameful and wrong. We should house and feed those in need and in poverty. Not give tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires.
MAGA's whole scam is to turn the most vulnerable into punching bags for the richest humans who have ever lived.
Homelessness is a real problem, but everything MAGA wants to do would only make it worse and more brutal for the unhoused.
Find out what can actually work.
