Abduction of a Tufts student in broad daylight by an American plainclothes gestapo drunk on power. This is a student from Turkey, who has been disappeared. Even her attorney doesn't know where she is.

THIS. IS. NOT. ACCEPTABLE.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.

This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

To all the MAGA folks screeching that Democrats didn't stand up and clap for a kid with cancer:

Republicans are defunding research for kids with cancer.

Sit down.

Since these reports come from employers and state agencies, the database effectively covers the majority of the U.S. workforce. However, civil servants are pushing back against Musk’s efforts, working to block access to the system and prevent the misuse of sensitive worker data.

Elon Musk’s staffers are trying to access a vast database containing earnings information for nearly all U.S. workers. This database is maintained by the Department of Health and Human Services as part of the Federal Parent Locator Service, which is primarily used for child support enforcement.

If Republicans make massive cuts to Medicaid, it will impact all aspects of our health care system. Millions of kids will lose coverage, hospital and insurance rates will soar and nursing homes will shut down.

All this in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires. 

NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
