Slashing federal funding will put 26 million vulnerable children, 7.5 million students with disabilities, and 10 million working-class families at risk.

No matter the community, rural, suburban, or urban—children will suffer.

Hey GOP, America’s kids deserve better!

Trump says he will offer 'gold cards' for $5 million path to citizenship, replacing investor visas

So, does this mean I can sell my citizenship for $5 million?

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
