We've had these two little posters hanging on our wall for basically ever. They helped our kids get through middle school and high school and I personally still take a second to read them often.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Abbott has responded with threats to either remove them from office or deploy law enforcement to bring them back. A total of 57 out of 62 Democratic representatives have left, effectively stalling the GOP’s plan by staying out of state.

Good news:
The Senate rejected funding for RFK Jr.’s proposed MAHA agency, which aimed to restructure HHS.
Instead, the budget supports public health programs - like HIV prevention and community care - through existing agencies such as the CDC and HRSA.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.
