“Boys will be boys.” We came home to a bunch of squad cars and the news that someone got beat in the head with the wrench + a shot fired down the street. I got out of the car and my ears were literally met with the phrase “boys will be boys.” Ummm… NO. That’s NOT how we do things around here.

My oldest child (a high school senior) wrote this on their math notes. I found it while grabbing dirty dishes out of their bedroom. 🥺😭💕 For a brief moment, everything is right in the world. 🩷😊

Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President should not be allowed to trade stocks.

Ban insider trading now.

@balint.house.gov is right: The families of trans youth do not want politicians making decisions for them. Tell Congress to protect and expand access to health care by passing the Transgender Health Care Access Act: hrc.im/TransHealth

Instead of “Alligator Alcatraz” or “Alligator Auschwitz”, let me suggest that we call it simply the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp.

Hang the name on Florida. Make them own this disgraceful moment in U.S. history. Make our grandchildren lobby to change the name of Dade County out of shame.

The "Department of Government Efficiency" should not have free rein over our personal information.

Congress must take action.
Call Congress: Keep DOGE Out of Our Data
Trump has given DOGE unrestricted access to our personal info, from finances to health records. Call Congress and take action now.

A judge just blocked Elon Musk and co-president Donald Trump from firing the financial cops at the CFPB who protect consumers from Wall Street scams.

There's power in fighting back.
Judge temporarily halts mass firings at CFPB, preserves agency data
The order also blocks acting CFPB Director Russ Vought from taking steps to defund the agency.

Nearly the entire global workforce of USAID will be put on leave by the end of the week. This weakens our security and stability, and we must take a stand.

The only way we can defend our parks at this point is to protest.

Take to the streets and protest like your lives and loved ones depend on it.

We’re sending a team of firefighters from DNR to support wildfire response efforts in California.
 
I'm proud of these emergency responders who are stepping up to provide critical support — they're heroes who are protecting communities and saving lives.

And blue states should declare an emergency and withhold all federal taxes from leaving their states, creating a slush fund for their own version of FEMA and cutting Trump out of the loop.
Not saying we can't help the red states but not unless they reform their elections systems 😇

What better reason for states to declare an emergency that if FEMA is dissolved. Blue states should band together and the governors form a round table to distribute funds and generate policy for red states that need disaster relief to adhere to.

We need to get in this game and quit screwing around
