I’m done mourning the faith and hope I had in my fellow Americans to show up for 🇺🇸
But if anyone thinks I spent half a century fighting for my equal rights to just give up….think again
1.55% = #NoMandate

I’m truly ashamed of my country 😔
… I thought my shame couldn’t grow anymore as I watched Americans do absolutely nothing about the trauma we inflict upon our children worried they’ll be shot in schools, but this is beyond depraved.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

People on the far right are literally citing the fact that a lot of women voted for Democrats, and instead of saying, "hmm, maybe we should try to rethink how not to alienate them," they're saying, "let's repeal their right to vote." Via @aselrod.bsky.social
Some on the far right want to repeal the 19th amendment. Many more share a coercive, patriarchal view of women.

NEW: Following a ProPublica investigation, more than two dozen House Democrats are pressing the Trump administration to reverse a new Department of Veterans Affairs policy that makes it harder for male veterans with breast cancer to get health coverage.
Trump’s VA Made It Harder for Male Veterans to Get Treatment for Breast Cancer. Lawmakers Want to Fix That.
After ProPublica revealed changes to how the Department of Veterans Affairs covers men with breast cancer, House members demanded the agency reverse its decision. Separately, new Senate legislation would require the VA to be more transparent.

The White House has been boasting about the revenue that its tariffs are raising.
And now their argument to the Supremes is that the President has imposed regulatory tariffs, not revenue-generating tariffs, and so case isn't about the power to tax. (Nonsense, obv.)

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

Americans have gotten more than $21 billion back in their bank accounts after being cheated and scammed by big corporations, thanks to the CFPB.
But Trump and his Administration love grifters and scammers.
So they're trying to kill the agency holding them accountable.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.
After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation
