A federal judge just ruled the White House broke the law by pulling down a public site that tracked Congressional spending.
Why’d they yank it?
Because people were catching DOGE making fraudulent claims and inflating “savings” that didn’t exist.
Transparency isn’t optional.

Hate is powerful. In fact it’s powerful enough to convince people to destroy the programs they benefit from, to give more money to the very rich, because they somehow believe it hurts the people they don’t like.

The rescission bill has passed the Senate. Once it passes the House, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when TV stations still broadcast in black and white.

Sen Patty Murray just confirmed it: Republicans blocked her amendment to remove the provision that would defund Planned Parenthood.
She’s calling it what it is—a backdoor national abortion ban. Extreme, dangerous, and wrong.

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

The Marines detained an American citizen, a civilian, in Los Angeles 🤬🤬🤬
The man has been released but this proves the military follows Trump’s orders and is not properly trained for dealing with civilians on American soil.
Everyone should be outraged!

FACT: Trump has fired more veterans than any President in our country's history, so spending taxpayer money on a military parade in his honor is a complete disgrace.
