I spent the day at the ICE Detention centers where Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil are being unjustly detained. They've been taken thousands of miles away from home and denied due process.
I’m here to call for their immediate release and make it known that they haven’t been forgotten.

Trump's USDA will roll back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing.
This will boost corporate profits at the expense of worker health and food safety.
Last year's listeria outbreak tied to Boar's Head killed 10 people.
We need more regulation, not less. Hello?

Musk staffers are joking about how upcoming Social Security changes will restrict access by requiring in-person visits while simultaneously shutting down offices. They are touting the cost savings from limiting access.

"Opposing Fascism Is a Jewish Tradition"--JWP at Trump Tower today.
BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”
The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

My friend is a parent at the school in at the base in Stuttgart where the kids staged a walkout during Hegseth's visit. One reason: the school library was closed for a book purge. She's got a wishlist with a goal to buy each student two DEI books; please consider helping out!

Elon Musk’s team is set to delve into the nation’s aviation system, with his 20-year-old staffers utilizing AI to assist the FAA in a rapid overhaul of aviation technology. However, a more practical solution would be to simply hire more workers, as the FAA is severely short-staffed.
