We won’t be lectured about free speech from the guy who sues newspapers and screams ‘fake news’ anytime he sees a story he doesn’t like.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

I just heard from a nonprofit in Massachusetts that helps veterans with transitional housing.
Trump's shutdown of gov funding hurts their ability to buy and prepare food for 100+ veterans.
Rent is due in 5 days. The loss of funds could mean some veterans face eviction.

That's right - we should cut government waste.
But we're seeing Trump and Musk's plan in action: pausing federal funds that rip school lunch away from preschoolers and end Meals on Wheels for seniors. That's not efficiency, it's cruelty.
I have better ideas.

Trump is offering all federal workers a buyout with seven months’ pay to shrink the government—but that’s not the whole story. Reports reveal some employees are being pressured to resign or face termination under the guise of organizational restructuring. In short: take the buyout or be fired.

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

This is what bravery looks like.
The bishop at President Trump’s inaugural prayer service implored him to “have mercy” on gay, lesbian and transgender children, as well as undocumented immigrants.
“I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” asked Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

The direct appeal to President Trump at the start of the first full day of his presidency was a remarkable moment at a National Cathedral event that has not historically been political.
